I liked Cross Country, I did 7 assignments but had to pay for private housing, at almost $200 per month. they offered free shared at that time. So I met other travelers on the road and switched to Nurses Rx. I'm not sure if Cross Country has changed to free housing yet. Cross was very organized and told you exactly what you needed to bring on assignment like dishes or t-v. The housing was good.
Nurse Rx is good too, but you have to bug housing to get details. But no problems with paychecks with either com.

I hear RN network is good.

Good luck,

Travel RN -myspace for nurses (www.universefornurses.com)

Hi, I am currently working through cross country travcorps. Overall my experience has been good with them. Since i've been working for them I have always had private housing. There are some locations that they do charge between $100-$500 for housing, but they are in areas that are high priced. You always have the option to find a place for yourself that is cheaper though.

I know a website that is like a myspace for nurses called Universe for Nurses. It is free and is a place were you can meet several other nurses to learn their experiences. It is new but slowly growing. Join and tell your nursing friends about it. It should be beneficial in the near future for us travellers and non travellers

Check out the travel company review section. A few of the companies you mentioned have recent reviews that might help you decide.

I have posted a few reviews and highly recommend Access Nurses, but enjoy your research.
