Travel Nursing Recruiters - 3 Things They Don't Tell You 

I met a guy who was a travel PA and he would have the agency find housing for him but he got the stipend and rented. He also had them set up utilities, internet and so on but it didn't come out of the stipend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

100th like on the video! Good info, I am a new nurse and looking into traveling and this stuff helps guide what I need to be on the lookout for. Much appreciated!

Great tips! Thank you!

WOW great information. Thank you for letting us know. Your awesome

I LOVE your RU-vid channel! Thank you for sharing your journey and tips!

very good information. thank you.

So glad i found your channel.

Thanks for this information.

Hmmm I didn't know the recruiters could get us compensation for when we need new work shoes, that's super cool. I am going to ask my recruiter!

Thank you for your; video it's very informative. However, I'm a surgical tech and I just wonder how much different is it to negotiate for salaries, etc. being an RN or someone in my field. (Nurses are at a premium, I realize) Thank you for any and all input!!

Excellent advice. Thanks a lot Michael.

Excellent info! Thanks for sharing. Can you sign up contract with the hospital directly?

I appreciate your video 👏 👏 👏

Thank you ‼️

I want to travel to multiple states I don't know where I want to live for the rest of my life it would be nice to live in different states but not end up stuck.

Thank you so much

Parking and online orientation reimbursement was tough to get out of my agency.

I get more money on my contracts but I noticed the travel stipend before and after are no longer there.

I am about to travel again . I traveled three years ago and I’m doing it again to find the location I love the most yo open my own business. Last time I traveled I used my own car when I worked for Titan. They actually gave me extra every week in my pay that my current travel agency will not do. When I took assigments with Titan they paid for the electricity , cable and Internet for the apartments I was put in. They did not reimburse me for scrubs. I think they should since every hospital has their techs wearing different scrub colors. The agency I am working with now does not reimburse for scrubs either but reviews said they will pay for two sets of scrubs during the year. They will pay for tolls ( if you ask some travel agencies will some will not ) and all of the agencies I worked with paid for mileage on the way to the state I was starting and way home. I have found that every agency I worked for pays for different things. You just have to ask before you sign contract.

How do you prioritize a move? I'm overwhelmed isn't moving expensive

Thank you Mike for sharing, I recently converted from traveling surgical technologist to recruiter and I appreciate you setting the bar on how honesty and integrity is important.

What about while preparing for an assignment like ridiculous travel for testing miles away from home?

Thank you

Hi my name is blessing. Am using my son tablet. It sounds like you made this video for me. I had my first assignment with flexcare, my recruiter for some reason delayed extending my contract until my contract ran out. Is there anything they gain from sending nurses to some other location that the nurse did not request.

thanks for your info. My recruiter did not pay things I should. Finally even the assignment was possible. I lost money trying to get an assignment (:

My old recruiter had submitted me to a town I really wanted to travel too, but this New company called and ask if I wanted submitted to it, "I told her, I was already submitted" she said thats not possible we have it exclusive and she didn't see my name submitted and ask if she wanted her to submit me, I said No, I called my old recruiter she looked and said Yes I submitted you and your profile is still there, and the other company dont have that location exclusive, I actually called the facility to ask if New company had their exclusive contract, and No they did not, so the New company lied to me...Im hoping this was only the recruiter not her company that allowed this. but I deleted my profile with them. Be aware..

What's the law/rule for extending? How many times can you extend before you are required to take a break? Could you please elaborate?

Sounds like you are telling me something ..... but........while telling me nothing

Hi Mike! This is a great short video. I am looking to travel to Charlotte or Raleigh NC. I am signed up w/Dedicated Nurse Associates but honestly, I don't know what to do first get he assignment and them housing. I have teenage son that wants to travel with me but I a little concerned with taking such a big risk and not loving it??

Very good

If I within that 50 mile radius can I negotiate my pay? Do I totally lose my stipend?

why are they still called contracts when recruiters/agency always break them? changing pay rate etc

what agencies do you recommend for nursing?

Good video

Hi, how to you conduct employment verification? I know some employers that are willing to throw employees under the bus. What do you do in a situation like that?

i have a 2 day weekend contract with a place across the country. Sat and sunday work only for one weekend. Should I get paid for travel time and travel expenses reimbursed?

What is "agency rate?" How does it break down to taxable amount?

How do you become a travel nurse recruiter

Looks like the presenter doesn't tend to be the one answering responses. Thoughts on the difficulties with the short orientation? Learning the software, staff, physicians, physical layout, contacts within the facility, etc? Also, I'm an old fart nurse of 29 years. I'm probably just going to retire outright, but I'm pondering travel nursing.

Can someone school me on how referral bonuses and extension bonuses work? I referred a nurse to my agency and they did not give me my referral bonus. I asked for an extension bonus and my recruiter stated that the hospital denied an extension bonus but I offered the extension bonus to the person I referred. Where is the extension bonus come from? And who pays out the referral bonus? How can I get what I’m entitled to?

So how much do nurse recruiters make??? Because sometimes nursing is some bullshit

Thank you for putting these awesome videos together. Do you know what is the minimum break we need to take away from the facility after the 4th assignment? Ty

I got a contract with weekly pay breakdown

How long does it take to get your first contract once in contact with a recruiter

I have a question that I have been pondering for sometime. I want to know if a nurse can be an independent contractor and travel?

I'm trying to get with an Agency as a cna but I need a car

My recruiter said they can’t pay for flight housing or travel due to $1000 stipend. Is that true?

I'm taking my first assignment as a Travel RN. What is this travel money. My recruiter didn't mention any of this?🤦‍♀️

I'm curious about typical range for bill rates in Michigan. I was also interested in how agencies approach hospitals to create a contact (who to call/email).

Is there a website they use to calculate the tax free stipends? I know it varies by county

Would this apply to Medical technologist travelers?

Interesting but this is 5 years old. They also pick up your rent, car gas and food. If you live in a hotel you pocket the extra cash with no utilities.

I work for many companies, however I am tired of getting cheated on my pay rate, how can I know what they are going to get payed so I can be able to negotiate. Is it even possible after they offer me a assignment or contract?

My contract canceled because I said no to out of ratio Covid ICU.

If stipends are already maxed, can they still add money to the housing?

Hi, just wanted to ask, what if i already signed a contract but havent interviewed with the employer in the facility? Can i still withdraw? Its an RN position in rehab/LTC. And i just called for another interview for a hospital that i applied for. But the former i already signed a contract in a staffing agency.

Should I ask them for new Truck Tires?

can travel nurse companies hire nurses on probation

if you have a recruiter who is maxing out your pay, constantly asking for reimbursement for little things like your car breaking down will leave them in the negative…that’s what stipends and high pay rates are for.

A recruiter wanted me to use a family members address to get me 75 miles from the facility…is this against the law? Lol

Can you switch travel companies at the same hospital in the middle of a contract?

Does these apply for CNAs too?

how do we ask the recruiter?

See... I knew I wasn't crazy. extended at a facility. Was hired in making a crisis rate.... they said that on my extension contract I would be making $200 less a week.... I knew I shouldn't have signed it and really went to bat. no extension bonus or nothing. I'm annoyed... they also said they don't pay for scrubs or anything.

How do you get a recruiter?

Can a CNA be a travel nurse

Travel nursing is a terrible career field to be in, computer systems, barriers to care, apartment move out rip offs, vendor management , price fixing, company's that think i'm a employee of some kind , run down fac. , dangerous situations,

Omg! Any actually useful info. Any???
