I used to hear about AMN being a nightmare for travel nurses just due to the compensation where I heard some nurses wouldn't get paid for a month(s), but that was a few years ago pre Covid. I'm not sure if it changed. The compact licenses work for 30 plus states but I've heard some states like Massachusetts and California nursing licenses were a pain in the ass to get. As a travel nurse make sure you turn in a paper copy of your hours to see if they match up to the Kronos hours from the hospital. Best thing about travel nursing is getting a weekly paycheck versus waiting two weeks to get a paycheck. Thank you about AYA Healthcare.

I appreciate your honest opinion on these agencies. Great video very informative. Thank you

Great video,the info is good, and to know what to expect from the  agencies. I enjoy it!

Thanks for doing this! Really appreciate sharing the knowledge to us ❣️❣️

I don’t think there is anything wrong with discussing pay. If you were being paid fairly then there wouldn’t be an issue. I had that discussion with one job. I am currently with AYA.  I have worked with Areus and Titan in the past.  AYA was by far the biggest pain in my a$$ ti get things started with the amount of ridiculous things I had to submit. However , so far I haven’t had issues. So far my pay has been correct. My recruiter has been pretty good at getting back to me. I am about to use the insurance so I will find out how good it is !

You don't need an agency. Just call the place you want to go and tell them your travel and want to do a contact with them. The only difference is you have to buy your own scrubs without an agency. We did  this because Aya never posts any places we actually want to go. We just got back from Jackson Hole Wyoming.  Yep, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone....Aya doesn't have cool places like that.

I decided to go with AMN for my first contract-after applying to so many agencies-and my recruiter was very sweet so I am hoping we develop a great partnership and bond in the future. AMN offers travel reimbursement and license reimbursement. Since I am going to CA for my first assignment, they will pay for the licensure after my assignment begins.

You made it much more simple to make a decision.

Best to mention your specialty

Thanks for sharing this! I will be considering traveling as a nurse soon.

Thank you for sharing this video, very helpful!

Great video thank you for the advice ❤ going into my first travel assignment a little nervous but excited 😊

My recruiter with AYA is actually pretty good. She responds very quickly and she does fight for me on some issues I have had. The pay I think is pretty good for travel rad tech. I did get scrub reimbursement, license reimbursement, I have  Roth IRA I contribute to every month . So far my payroll reps have been decent ( I have completed 3 assignments with them so far ), I have not always gotten my first day instructions so I would just text the super and ask lol. One weird thing I just experienced with AYA is holiday pay. Some were getting holiday pay when they didn’t work it and I did not.

I experience the same problem with AYA when it came to pay, other agency nurses were getting paid more than me doing the same exact job.

I’m with NuWest now!

Just remember the acuity difference when you work in ICU and med-surg. ICU is typically  2 patients and med-surg 4-5.

Well basically reimbursement is a total scam in the first place. The agency's just take this money out of the contract money that is offered for that contract. Just like any license reimbursement, or orientation money. Its took directly out of the contract money so your paying for this in the end yourself out of your own money.

No AMN terrine theives

Hi Paul, try working with Cynet Health. I would love to work with you.
