OK, I have been reading tons of info on Travel Nursing and have compiled a list of 'Must Haves" before I can go.

1. Guaranteed hours
2. Overtime figured on hourly rate NOT "tax advantage"
rate
3. Honest/accessable/friendly recruiter who will work
hard to get me what I want
4. Health Insurance, that does not expire when I go home
for a few weeks between assignments
5. Short and Long Term Disability Insurance
6. Free Private (NICE) Housing...No Dumps, I live in a nice
house now and will not change...small is ok.
7. Assignments all over the entire US, incl. Alaska/Hawaii
8. Fair wages for area.....will NEVER work for $20.00/hr!

If your company fits the above, please contact me via e-mail Thanks

I can work Cardiac, Telemetry, Transitional Care Unit (can float to ICU andCCU if necessary), Home Health, Med/Surg and Newborn Nursury, also have Peds ICU experience, but its been a while

One thing to consider when looking at travel companies is whether or not they are national. It sounds kind of silly, but belive me it can save you a lot of frustration. I have done travel nursing for quite some time now and I have made the mistake working for some smaller shops and on a couple of occasions I have literally had to chase them for my paycheck. By working with a more substantial outfit, you usually have better benefits, more assignments to select from, and you have the luxury of knowing you will be paid and the check won't bounce.

I have had very positive experiences with Supplemental Health. Across the board, they are very professional and are attentive to my needs. I have also worked with Core Medical and find them to be pretty decent. I'm pretty sure Supplemental has offices in most major markets.
