Great post. Important too. If you have experience, and you can write to new travel nurses (like me), you can pass on knowledge that you have taken from each assignment---and it's in your heart, not just what you learned in nursing or how was the 'vacation' part of the trip. I really understand what you are saying underneath it all. How the forums you speak of were things I was 'guided to', and then found them to be exactly what you are saying; complain, complain complain. I thought, 'wow, why not either move to a different co., or stop traveling! But I know we will find complainers everywhere.... <BR/><BR/>That is where the parallel lines are drawn with your subject, and also mine on our blogs, and many others that write for an audience that needs information, read experience; nothing beats that. Being a nurse, I see the negativity at times towards the healthcare society as a whole, and that gives me a chance to write about the other side. We are not ALL demons and 'ignorers'! ;-) <BR/><BR/>If I go to a 'support' group for Chronic Pain, and all that people are doing is complaining about the pain, I'd spin around and leave. I don't have time for those negative, bitching people anymore in my life. Must be the old age and almost 20 yrs. in nursing! <BR/><BR/>The feelings I get from some recruiters/companies in speaking further with them, becomes one of my 'women's intuition', it comes down to not who offers me more, but who suits what I need, then past that is the to be long relationship with this person, and the company. Since so much is done on the net and by phone, (my nursie friends gasp when they hear some facilities interview by phone only and hire from that), we must rely on the unseen feelings. That one right in your gut. <BR/><BR/>My friends in the Chronic Pain area are supportive, truly care about me, are there when I need them, (and when I 'don't', even they know I need to hear something); and well...look at that...those qualities are the ones that I want from the company I finally decide to go with. They all say they are supportive, they are there when we need them 24 hrs., but is that really true? When we have come to have a nice relationship with a recruiter, and of course the job is great, how do we know that now that 'we are theirs', LOL.. will we hear less and less from our R? Do they truly fulfill the promises and expectations that they give to us? <BR/><BR/>I imagine that just like with friends, there is a level of trust. On both sides. And that is the fun part of life, for me anyway. Just to see what happens today, and hope there are a net of people around you in case you do fall once in awhile. <BR/><BR/>Good Post. <BR/><BR/>ShaunaShaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17517544369249500224noreply@blogger.com
