    Thinking Of Traveling

    Hey everyone! I have thought of traveling in the past but chickened out! I think I am now ready to take on the adventure, but need help. I am currently talking to a recruiter @ American Mobile but seem to run across several neg. vibes from other posts read. What seems to be the problem with this company? :confused: What in your opion is the best company to work for? I am ready to see the country, just want to make well educated decisions. Any advise will help! What are some questions I need to ask recruiters? I am married and will be traveling with my husband - do you see any potiental problems with this? Do you guys truely enjoy traveling? Thanks!

    Re: Thinking Of Traveling

    Welcome! I'm married, and travel with my husband, who isn't a nurse. American Mobile has a bad reputation because they're SO big, and I know a lot of nurses who have been screwed over by them, promised things they never got, etc....

    I travel with RN Network, have been for a year and a half now. My recruiter is great, benefits are awesome, pay is very good, and adding my husband to my insurance only costs about $70/week- very cheap compared to most other travel companies. PM me if you have any specific questions, or would like my recruiter's contact info...

    I am currently with American Mobile and have had a few issues with them. They do not use the best furniture rental companies so you might get bad furniture, like me. Their contract with you does not spell out everything that it really contracts with the company (not sure if others do this as well)so you really don't know what you are getting in to. Ex> My hours can be cut every two weeks by 12 hours if the company feels the need but that was not told to me nor was it put in my contract. My recruiter has been nice enough but she has given me wrong information on several accounts. Just do your homework and be careful. If you need any other helpful hints, just drop me a line.

    Skip American Mobile, too big.
    I've met a number of travlers who could not wait to switch.
    I'm also with RNNETWORK and my recruiter returned my calls the same day. Housing is real nice. Give them a call.
    What is your specialty and where do you want to go?
