I am an experienced Travel Nurse, living in Perth, Australia with my husband and daughter and am seeking to get back into it after a 2 year hiatus..I am returning to the U.S. in December....I have not "nursed" a contract for 2 years other than two or three shifts a week with an agency here in Australia. My specialty is L&D, 11 years...I have current licenses in MA, CA, DC, and HI (inactive at present in NY, LA) and I have kept up to date with CEU's and innovations in Maternal/Child Nursing I need a company that provides single housing, as I want to fly my family over once I am established. I have worked with 3 different agencies, two of which the pay was sub-standard and I was expected to set up phone and cable service AND bring my own linens and kitchen utensils...very hard to do when you are there for 13 weeks at a time...I was very happy with my 3rd company but they expect you to "share" an apartment with a stranger...which was no big deal when I was single..I would like to hear from a recrutier that is willing to work with me to relocate in the U.S. ( I, of course, am getting myself back to the U.S.) I expect to be paid between $30-$40/hr....if you can help me reach these personal goals, I will help you realize yours. I do not wish to go through the whole "application" process just to find out your company cannot meet my expectations. I would love to hear from companies that are willing to work with me on this. Thanks
