What companies have you worked for, and what company do you presently work for? What do you consider stingy pay? Does the other nurse work for a travel company; if so which one?

I have worked for Cross Country (very impersonal and not supportive), Healthcare Everywhere (they were OK until you have a problem) and now American Traveler. I have been with them for 3 years and had a great recruiter who recently left. As far as "stingy"--I consider less than $30 "stingy". After 2 weeks of phone calls, I finally was able to get them to increase my pay to $30 an hour to match other travelers here. Other travelers here are with American Mobile (I have heard others say you have to fight for increased benefits with them), Trinity, and Medical Express (has merged with American Mobile).

Thank you for the reply. I am a nurse considering beginning travel soon and am very nervous. I am unsure of what company to go with and appreciate anyone who can tell me companies to stay away from. I have been researching Nurses in Partnership, Cirrus Medical Staffing, and Dakota Med Temps. I agree with you; less than $30 is extremely stingy. I could stay home and make more than that and I live in one of the lower paying states in the nation. Although I want to travel for the experience of living in different areas, I do not want to leave home to make less money.

Travel companies
I have been working for Dakota Med Temps, they average $35.00 per hour, private housing, personable service from your recruiter,IRA employer matching and medical after first assignment completed. I am considering Integris Baptist Medical Center for a cardiovascular stepdown/ Telemetry float position, also float to Med surg position in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, ---Does Anyone know about this hospital or working conditions? Positive or negatives!!???? Please write [email protected].

Shandel,

Which office does David work out of?
Hi,

Which office does Dvid work out of? What is his last name? Maybe I need to call him! I had a woman recruiter! I rather not give her name, but she is very rude at times!

Thanks!
