Traveling Nurse Agency - Choosing The Right One
By Peter C Johnson
When a traveling nurse is faced with the decision of choosing the best traveling nurse agency, it is not always an easy decision. The traveling nurse may be wondering which values will be important for their career. Perhaps the single most important factor in choosing the best traveling nurse agency is support. By this I mean, that the agency provides consistent help and assistance for its employees. It is important for the traveling nurse agency to be interested in your wellbeing as a nurse, not simply chasing a commission. As traveling nurses can work 24 hours a day, it is important that the traveling nursing agency can provide this support around the clock.
It is advisable that you select a traveling nurse agency which has a strong reputation and solid listing of potential jobs. The better traveling nurse agencies will attract more of the better jobs. The traveling nurse agency should also offer competitive salary and bonus packages- these will often be displayed on their website.
An often overlooked quality of a traveling nurse agency is whether or not they provide malpractice insurance. Who is going to look after your interests in the event you make a mistake? Further to this, how much will you have to pay for the malpractice insurance. Good traveling nurse agencies will also offer reimbursement for your travel expenses- this is quite important as it is quite easy to spend money on traveling when you go from assignment to assignment.
In terms of how to begin searching for the right traveling nurse agency, make a list and right down all the qualities you are seeking. Once you have made the list, get on the internet and start comparing the company’s websites. Specifically seek out testimonials from nurses who have worked for the traveling nurse company. When contacting agencies never be afraid to ask them certain question you feel may be important. Next, it is important to call up the agency in person and discuss what you are looking for- if you don’t feel they are responsive to your questions, don’t bother- you need that basic level of communication and support.
Deciding on the right traveling nurse agency is an important decision. If you choose a good traveling nurse agency early, you will find it easier to find work as time progresses, as they see your level of commitment and your qualities they will put you forward for more work. It is also well worth talking to other nurses who work for the agency to see if they are satisfied with the level of support.
Seek out a traveling nurse agency which maintains a high level of professionalism and thoroughness. These kinds of agencies will generally always do the right thing by you.
Other important factors in finding the best traveling nurse agency are: how long they have been in business, whether they hold the appropriate licences and whether they have won any awards.
Always ask to view a contract before agreeing to sign with the traveling nurse agency- and make sure you read the fine print. Specifically you want to be aware of the terms of pay and overtime/penalty rates, and also whether you need to sacrifice any portion of your salary for any fees (This is not common). It may also be worth asking how your personal information will be distributed, and whether you will have one point of contact (This makes dealing with the agency so much more efficient).
The decision of choosing a traveling nurse agency should be one which is based on research and communication with the agency in person. The best indication of a good traveling nurse agency is the amount of jobs they list, and the feedback from nurses who work for the traveling nurse agency.
