Company Evaluations By Traveling Nurses

After several requests, I have decided to offer nurses a place to evaluate their travel company. The purpose of this list is for the travel nurse a better look at travel companies around the country. This is an accumulation of all nursing data acquired through our survey.

Here is the list of questions asked: (1) My recruiter made every attempt to provide the travel assignment that I wanted? (2) was offered positions at my preferred hospital size or trauma level? (3) The company provided adequate health insurance? (4) The company provided health insurance within the first 30 days of employment? (5) I received adequate housing with utilities or a generous housing stipend? (6) The company reimbursed or paid for all pre-employment screening? (7) The company provided 401K with some company match? (8) The company offered pay rates over $30? (9) The company offers weekly pay checks that can be directly deposited? (10) The company offers the choice to participate in a travelers advantage program? (11) The company paid on time and correctly... if there was a mistake, it was quickly corrected? (12) Missed days were either made up or up to three days were excused. The company did NOT charge me for "assignment expenses" for days missed? (13) My continuing education, ACLS, PALS, CPR etc... were covered as needed? (14) My recruiter was knowledgeable about travel nursing and did not have a "used-car salesman" attitude? (15) I felt like my recruiter was honest? (16) I felt like my recruiter and the company stood behind me in a tough situation? (17) I felt like a valued nurse with a name instead of just a number on the payroll? (18) I felt like my recruiter knew my personality and my preferences for contact and took those things into consideration... (didn't call at noon since I work nights, knows that I'm a talker, knows that I just want to take care of business and hang up, knows my preference is just to email)? (19) The company offered full pay for orientation, and I was fully prepared for orientation? (20) I would recommen
d the company to other travelers?

Thanks again to all the traveling nurse who took time out of their busy schedule to help me with this chart by emailing me about your experiences! If you have NOT filled out the questionnaire, please go
HERE  No evaluation from recruiters or direct "in-house" staff will be knowingly accepted.

Note:  In preparation for the 2010 Top Ten list, those companies in light purple were posted as received.  Those in dark purple have been entered into a special database which more specifically ranks each item on a scale from 1 to 10.

(This list is manually updated, your patience is appreciated)
