I had the same problem before I got my first assignment last month. It did take a little while. I almost gave up. HRN has an office in CA so they might have some contacts. They finally got me my first travel job. I did contact another agency and applied with them while I was waiting, just in case. But be careful as the assignment I took is not a very good one as far as the hospital and unit go. Very understaffed, so check out the hospital before you take a contract. Don't be in a rush like I was.
