Hi there.... new to this site... FAIRLY new nurse... I've been an ER nurse for 2 years... a year of ICU stepdown prior to that... my boyfriend, who is also an ER RN, and I are looking to start our first travel assignment this summer in NYC. We are currently working with American Mobile... and he has a tentative offer for a position at NYU... for the time being, AM has no position for me... I'm looking for anyones opinion on the best travel company to work with!! We are looking to take one apt, and obviously taking the housing stipend for the other apt in order to save some serious money! Does anyone have any input as far as good/bad/etc agencies to work with? I'm a little a frustrated that American Mobile is having such problems finding a second contract anywhere near NYC.... any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Welcome to the site, ERRN; glad you found us!

When you are able, peruse the TRavel Nursing Forums. I am sure there should be some help there.

Just to be curious, where are you located now?

>:D< Welcome to the site. You should be able to find some useful info in the travel sections of the site, but keep in mind that experiences discussed may be extraordinary as well as dated.

Have you found an agency yet? If not, I would suggest seeking information both on their website and via telephone with a representative. I think it is kind of hard to give advice because each individual experience is different with different agency. All the best.
