Stay away from AmericanMobile

Many travelers complain about AMH. I was with them for 1 year. They forgot to put me in health insurance and I found out in 3rd assignment, but according to other travelers, looks like they do all the time, huh? Pay rolls were always wrong and I had to call them every pay period to fix. They said I get $500 bonus after 3 assignments(39weeks)...guess what? Now they said "We discontinued that bonus last year". On their web site, they are still advertising that they are giving $500-$1000 completion bonus. Simply there are so many issues with this company. STAY AWAY!!!

Re: Stay away from AmericanMobile

I am thinking about travelling with AmericanMobile. I have never travelled before and I am not sure what I am doing. If AmericanMobile isn't a good idea, who would you recommend??

I travel with RN Network- just started my third assignment with them, and they have been very good to me- you can check out their benefits at Travel Nursing Jobs :: RN Network

Send me a PM if you'd like me recruiter's contact info.

Re: Stay away from AmericanMobile

AmericanMobile has cheaped out on everything so far -- instead of FedEx contract and paperwork they used USPS, then they demanded that I return the paperwork in less than the time it wold take to send USPS.

Another issue is AMH does not offer garuanteed assignments -- other agencies not only offer them but they are the standard.

Lastely there is currently a Nurse Strike in Southern California -- they are really pushing this region right now; however they do not bother to tell you that there is a strike and the assignment is crossing strike lines.

I have worked for RN Network and American Traveler and I didn't have any problems. If something came up it was quickly takened care of. Very nice complete housing and the recruiters aways responded quickly and efficiently.

Has anyone heard of Azteria? I was thinking of using them, but have never heard of them. They have only been in business since 2004!
Thanks

Re: Stay away from AmericanMobile

First time traveler please try my agency RN Recruit. You will find them at RN Recruit: Your Network for Travel Nursing. Call and ask for Sheila or Joey. They are great. Great pay according to geographical area. (The South always pays less.) Never had a payroll or insurance issue. Been traveleing with them for a year now. Three assignments in all and looking for my next assignment now. They are still small and treat you like family. Any problems I have had were settled immediately. Tell them Dianna Martin sent you.
