I am a ICU/ER nurse with over 5years experience in traveling and I can't seem to find a company to travel with who tells the truth. They all seem to play the tell me what I want to hear game and get me locked into a contract to get there and nothing they said was true. My current company keeps raising my housing deductions everyweek. When I called my housing rep she said my electric bill was higher than they had budget for so now I owe them $24 more dollars a week for the remaining contract. This is not the first time for an increase every week its different! Anyone feel my frustrations?
Have you ever considered working full time for a year or two and then moving on? I work with a number of facilities that offer sign on bonuses and relocation packages in excess of 20k for a one or two year commitment. Just wondered if you had given this some consideration.
Thank you,
Connor Bartley

Are there any honest Agency/Recruiters out there anymore -- When a contract isn't enough to feel protected what can a traveler do -- go back to the daily grind or change titles.
