Pros
I've done three contracts with Host and they really know how to care for their employees. They are always supportive and detail-oriented. My recruiter Bailey Perkins was phenomenal. She gave me the courage I needed to begin travel nursing and it was the best decision I could've made. Bailey was attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She also helped me become a competitive applicant to negotiate pay, which was important to me. I recommend her to anyone interested in traveling, especially first- time travelers.
Cons
Not a ton of psych jobs available, few of them pay competitive wages
