| Re: I am NEW!! Can you tell us what your speciality is and where you might like to go. This site has a section where some of us travel nurses have rated companies. Remember some people will love a compnay and some will not like the same company. One thing I will say is that your company can't physically look at every housing situation and some small towns or cities just don't have nationally known housing complex. Don't expect a pool, spa, and fitness center in every location. Tell us what you are looking for i.e. money, location,pets,speciality, do you need health insurance, do you want a 401k. etc and maybe we can help you. WR,,, three commas for Becca. |

| Re: I am NEW!! I have traveled for two years. Number one is to look for a company that is interested more in the Nurse than the dollar. Next remember it is all in the negotiation. There are thousands of travel agenices out there, they work for YOU. I have checked out many agencies, have applications with at least ten different companies. Don't be afraid to try another company if the one you are with does not offer what you want. There are alot of good companies out there but the two best I have found are Trinity Healthcare Staffing Group out of South Carolina or ON Assignment Heathcare Staffing out of Ohio. Hope this helps. |
