Looking forward

Well, I'm no closer to resolving my problems with RN Network. I spoke with the person in charge of the recruiters and requested a different recruiter. Yeah, I spoke with her last week and ......I'm still waiting. I'm not wasting anymore energy on it...I'm looking forward to the next company and the next recruiter. I've had a few bites and already been bitten. Some of them are just like car salesmen....no, used car salesmen. They are trying to sell you their "hottest" spot...and not listening. Some are just pain rude. Don't they know we get enough of that at work?
Speaking of work...I will recommend Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix. I have only worked the tele floor and only on dayshift but they have been very fair. I also have been working at Phoenix St. Luke's Hospital...also not a bad place. The staff there has been really friendly. It is a downtown hospital just like Good Samaritan so the neighborhood...well, I don't hang out there after work let's just leave it at that. Phoenix itself is much warmer and nicer climate than most of the cities I've been too. And I have to admit I love the palm trees. The patients and their families have been nice for the most part. They seem to be in a hurry just like the rest of the world....wonder what they are running for...or from? I still recommend travel nursing as the way to go in nursing today so much freedom and really moving every three months is not nearly as bad as it sounds. It actually gets to be fun. I look forward to packing all my stuff and unpacking in a new town. Email any questions to Travelingnurse@gmail.com. Remember first do no harm

What to do when your company turns on you

Hi all. the weather is great but I'm not feeling too sunny. What do you do when no one in your company will talk to you? No one seems to want to try to work things out or even listen to my side of the story. Besides being delayed on my contract due to miscomunication and losing money there, as well as being charged for all the housing costs for that week, I was called off last week. I emailed my recruiter that this had happened on Monday( the next business day) and asked if my hours were guaranteed. I got an email back from her assistant on Thursday that it is in my contract that I can be called off once a pay period which is once a week...news to me it's not in my contract anywhere. In fact if you want to read it and you find it I will give you a $100 and I'll call guiness because you are a remarkable person to be able to read that far in between those lines. The email went on to say that I could try to reschedule that day later in the week...once again I'll tell you I got the email on Thursday. Lots of time for me to reschedule. I didn't ask not to go to work...they called and told me not to come in...should I have showed up anyway? When I got paid this week...I got charged for housing $50 because I missed a day. WHAT? Are you kidding me? I call today to see why and of course no one is avaliable to talk to me right now they will get back to me as soon as possible. Really? I'm still waiting for a call from last month to resolve the move in fees. I am expected to go to work everyday and make this comany money....lots of money....I am nice and kind to my patients, their families and my coworkers.I try to make people feel better, answer every question they or their family or their doctor might have...I answer to everyone. Who has to answer to me? Obviously not the people in the company I work for. I stayed with this company because I liked my recruiter, we got a long well, we understood each other. She went on maternity leave and I was assigned a new recruiter. Now I found out that she is not coming back to work- I found out from the person that answers the phone at the company...not even my new recruiter that knew I was waiting for the other one to return. Nice huh? So I'm still on the search for a new travel company. I got a nice email from a recruiter who read my blog..(Hi Mike) and I'll be talking to him soon. Again if anyone else likes their recruiter and their company please let me know.
