    Travel Info needed...chicago info returned

    I am researching travel nursing and I am wondering which company is best for Med-surg placement. I want to go to Hawaii, Miami, or Phoenix...I have read nearly every post and I have narrowed it down to Sagent, RNnetwork, Cirrus, TaleMed, and I am open for new suggestions. I have a car, (unless i go to HA), I will want housing, and want to drive wherever I go...I currently work on a med/surg unit specializing in transplant of University of Chicago. I have 2 years experience. I have applied with American Mobile 3 weeks ago and my recruiter has not returned 3 of my phone calls so I refuse to sign with them, especially after reading all of these bad reviews...Any advice is appreciated and anyone seeking advice for Chicago let me know!

    Welcome! I am currently traveling with RN Network- have been with them for a year and a half, and am very happy with my recruiter. If you have any questions about RN Network, or would like my recruiter's contact info, PM me!

    I'm with RNNETWORK too,and my recruiter calls back the same day.
    Pay is sometimes low when I compare to other travlers. but overall the benefits etc are good.

    Consider yourself lucky that AM did not call you.
    I've met travel nurses that were switching from AM

    Hi Jarbelius,

    Have you ever had any or heard of any experience with HPI in Chicago? Would you recommend any agency in Chicago for per diem work? Sorry I can't help you with your destinations (although I've been to Miami and it's fun!) or traveling in general....I'm new to the scene, too.

    Thanks, CCS

    Hey....I have not heard of HPI...most of the girls I talk to work with MSN for agency nursing here. They have same day pay...and they are national. I am thinking of signing with them for same extra cash...

    Thanks for the reply...when you talk to others, who do they say they work for that pays more? and where were you? I really need to pay of my student loans and don't want to get jacked financially...I really want to make the best decision so I am trying to gather as much research as possible...I would appreciate any additional information you can offer!!!

    I chose RN Network because they pay is good, they have a variety of assignments, and the benefits are excellent, plus I really trust my recruiter. I have been traveling with RN Network for a year and a half. PM me for my recruiter's contact info, or if you have any specific questions.
