I'm new to this forum so bear with me. =) I want to start travel nursing to see what California is like. Does anyone have any experience with Emerald Health Services? They called me to see if I wanted to try travel nursing, but I don't know anything about them.

Thoughts and experiences, both good and bad, appreciated!

Me too!

They called me too! I would like to know the same things! One thing I have learned is: YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL who you sign with! So many of these travel nurse companies are so deceptive!

I have heard that the billing rate is not that much difference from place to place, but there is a BIG difference in what the travel companies pass on to the nurses!

refer to ultimatenurse's website for travel company reviews. these are written by the travelers and are pretty true. you can get an idea of what to expect by the reviews. ca is great!! oakland/san fran pay the most. with lots of things to do. i did ucsf and picked up agency/registry jobs in the haight, missiion and tenderloin districts. what a blast!!!
