Selecting The Best Travel Nurse Agency
“Which travel nurse agency should you belong to?” is indeed a tricky question, especially if you are a recent medical grad. This is a little tough to determine. Nowadays, this is quite a common profession and most of the travel nurse agencies provide their nursing employees with more or less similar salary and benefits. It all seems the same on the front page of the contract, but when you actually sit back and compare each option with the others, that is when you realize that all apples are apples but they really are different from each other. In other words the companies belong to the same industry with similar characteristics but are very different from one another. This is what makes it an important task and requires you to do some thorough research before you come to a final decision. The Questions That Need To Be Answered • Am I provided a housing facility? What is included with the housing? • Does the agency provide a travel expense reimbursement? If the answer is yes, then to what extent? • Does the agency provide the nursing personnel with a license reimbursement? • Does my contract include health insurance? When does the insurance begin? • Will I get malpractice insurance? If yes, how much will I have to pay for it? • What additional benefits will I receive along with my basic salary and on what conditions? • Are there any tax advantage plans that will be a part of the working location? The agency that answers these questions in a detailed and appropriate manner will provide you with a well-informed choice. Thus visiting and talking to a number of recruiters regarding the above questions can give you good insight into the perspectives of the company.
