I\'ve been screwed and not kissed

I need some advice--

I signed a contract with an agency and negotiated specifics in the contract. I was assured by the agency that the hospital had agreed to all the stipulations so I traveled over 3500 miles and prepared myself for work. I attended orientation and went to the floor where I discovered that my manager had no idea of the stipulations that I thought were agree to. The manager called me a liar and wanted prooof of what I said. Of course, the agency said that would take care of it and admitted that they, (the agency) had dropped the ball and not sent the stipulations for approval. The hospital refused to accept the contract I had signed and I was not in a position to negotiate at this late date. Now I am jobless and out my airfare. I had the option to renew the contract where I was and wanted to be "closer to home". What should I do? I feel totally abandoned by my company!!!!

Vicki

What can we do to help you? What is your specialty? I can find you a job and get you set up right away. Give me a call or shoot me an email and I will have a number of companies in touch with you in a mtter of minutes, and have a job set up for you right away.

As for that company, they did "drop the ball" to say the least, and they should make it up to you. We can go into that when we talk. Give me a call.

Vicki,

That happened to me too, not too long ago. Unfortunately there wasn't much recourse I had against the company that screwed me, but I called Charles at Ultimate Nurse and he was able to find me another (even better gig) fairly quickly... You should give him a call, and just see if he can help you out too. His number is 580-237-0660.

Cheers

Re: I've been screwed and not kissed

I'm so very glad that I didn't travel over 3,000 miles with Access Nurses. I was about to but they dropped the ball with a facility in California (I was travelling from Ohio). After that I just did not trust them.
I'm in California now with RNDemand out of Texas and I am VERY happy.
