for hire..

I have worked as a travel nurse in the past and for many different companies. Some agencies were good and some were, well not so good!

My first travel gig was with AMN. I really liked my recruiter, but I hated all the corporate office people in California. Never ever ever would I receive a timely response from those worthless people in the California office. I eventually stopped working with AMN as they cut the rates provided to the nurse and decided to keep a larger share for themselves. Meh!

Then I went with a smaller company that had their own issues. The recruiter there was a freakin dumb ass and I did not stay long there, even though they email me weekly to this very day.

I ended up with another small agency where I like the recruiter as well as the office folks. These people have a bulldog like mentality when finding positions. They keep me continuously updated and follow-up on any issues that I may have. The trade off is that the money is not as good as other places, but they remain responsive to my many issues. I guess they would categorize me as "high maintenance".

I am still waiting to hear back about my current application. I sort of expect not to get this one since I was late arriving to the party. Apparently, it is a small hospital with a single opening. That means there are most likely 30 other applicants that have been submitted weeks ago - oh well, I will see want comes along next should this one not pan out!
