I love this topic Aureus! And appreciate the progressive stance you’ve taken with it. Many agencies are cautious to talk about this topic and I see the confidence you all have on it refreshing and attractive as a travel nurse. And as a traveler that works with multiple agencies I want to echo the importance of staying organized and transparent with your recruiters. They put in a lot of work on their end so getting things to them in a clear and organized manor as well as keeping them in the loop on your plans will avoid a ton of wasted time for everyone. Great read Aureus!

I work with multiple agencies. I found out that I have been submitted to the same hospital by multiple agencies. I don’t see a problem with this. Just as working with multiple agencies offers me more variety and opportunity, it allows hospitals the same with whatever contract is negotiated with the agency they choose. Why would being double submitted lead to losing the opportunity for an interview??

I personally believe that this is important. Here’s why, if I get to an assignment, and something happens that delays my start date, still waiting on drug test results, or titer lab results, I am still paying for my housing out of my pocket til I get my 1st paycheck.
So if I have a prn per diem gig set up for the area I am in, then the $$$ I have saved and started to utilize til my paycheck hits my account, can be replenished, and I don’t have to spend down my savings account to a zero balance.
