Mood:  | Looking for advice and recommendations I would like recommendations on a travel agency that has assisgnments available at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Fl. I was working there as a staff nurse in early 2000 - 2003 in the CCU and ER. I left when I was hired with the State of Florida, which is where I am now. The problem is the pay rate with the state is stagnant. Nurses have not been given a raise in over 4 years, and it is just no longer competative with the private sector. And with the budget like it is now, it is not looking promising for any state employee's to be given a raise in the forseeable future. I live approx. 60 miles from Tallahassee and I think that is far enough to qualify as a travel assignment, not sure though. Any advice or recommendation is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rick |

Mood: |  Re: Looking for advice and recommendations Reading on this site indicates that travel positions have been drying up for quite some time due to the economy. Some nurses have been cancelled so much that they have been forced to take full time permanent jobs because they couldn't sustain themselves with traveling. It might not be the best time to be seeking travel assignments. |

Mood:  | Re: Looking for advice and recommendations If you really have your heart set on working as a traveler at a specific hospital, I would start with that hospital's HR department. Ask if they currently have any traveler needs, and which companies they contract with.
