CA Nursing
Hello,

I was in Los Angeles last summer and what a blast! I worked with Emerald health staffing and lived in marina del rey on the water and had an awesome job at st john's medical center in santa monica just 10 minutes away from my apartment and no highways ever! The only bad thing was the Emerald was paying me 10 less an hour than other travellers so i feel like i was bamboolzed and it was too late to do anything. also other travel rn's didnt bring their cars and had rent a cars provided by the travel company and used the travel money Emerald only pays $600.oo round trip to buy an airplane ticket instead of driving thousands of miles and putting miles on your vehicle and also $600.oo didnt even cover gas one way.

Thanks for the tip about Emerald. I've talked with a recruiter from Access Nurses and I'm still researching about Los Angeles. The big city life is very intimidating, but I'm pretty much set on going just as soon as I find the best assignment. I'll keep the travel expenses in mind when I talk to my recruiter and see what they offer.

I appreciate your help. Where are you traveling now?

Your Welcome!
I hope my info on California helps. I am thinking about going back there in January after this current assignment in Boston, MA ends. I am thinking about going to Bakersfield. More money that Los Angeles pay wise and 2 hours away, so I can stay out of trouble!
