Cross Country Nurses

I am currently on my second assignment with Advantage RN. This is a great company I would recommend to anyone. My recruiter Jason is FANTASTIC as is the rest of the staff. They work hard to find me assignments I will be happy with.

For the most part the agency was very good with the exception of not always returning messages in a timely manner.

It was a 8 week assignment I had to stay in a very tiny extended stay hotel for the entire time. No health insurance until after 1 month. I recently acccepted another assignment with them then I found out I would have another month wait for health insurance. They also did not offer me a resigning bonus which I think a loyalty bonus would have been nice. Both assignments do not pay very well either I have been treated much better by other companies in the past. I feel like the company will be making good money from my labor and that I am being taken advantage of financially. I also feel the least they could do is waive the 30 day wait for health insurance as I already waited 30 days already on my previous assignment and signed a new contract for my next assignment within 2 weeks.I also hope to God I do not have to be in an extended stay again for 13 weeks. They say they only pay $75 for utilities.

I have a wonderful recruiter, Tina. Although, I feel sometimes she is pressured by people above her to attempt to "force" me into assignments I don--t really care for. For the most part, I have been with this company for 2 1/2 years, and have been pleased. They find good housing, but it is deducted from your check. They do not include cars or flights, but good about finding places close to hospitals. The only problem I have, is it seems that I never know where I might be going on the "next assignment" until the one I am working is almost over. I would prefer to have things planned out. Ans sometimes I have been asked to call the hospital, to speak with managers for the agency. I do not feel this is my job. I feel that my recruiter gets paid to do this for me. Since I have been traveling, I have remained with Advantage RN, and the same recruiter. I have been thinking about not traveling anymore lately. But would recomend Tina to anyone. She has been great.
