Holland America cruise line would be worth considering. I would think you should also consider the military services.

check with govt consumer agencies for complaints find those not listed.
ask some major hospitals or places you’ d like to work who they use.
had a friend signed up moved then found out he signed some fine print to work all usually 12 hour second and graveyard he saw a mostly a pillow when he’d hoped to see the world.
disaster.
read the fine print.

I don’t know what’s up with all these military people on here.

I’ve heard Cross Country is ok, and since they’re big there are a lot of different places to go.

Travelers I’ve talked to seem to LOVE Aureus.

I’ve heard some bad things about Favorite.

You may have heard of this one: “Doctors Without Borders”.
You get to travel, plus help people in areas that really need help.

Maybe I would be the best company. How old are you ? Where do you want to go?

I traveled with Cross Country Trav Corp for 3 years, they have a very large data base for jobs, I had made a list of places I had wanted to visit and was able to check them all off. They take care of their nurses, they are very competitive and if you tell them that other company is offering more money or better deal they will match it to keep you. It’s a well known truth that their housing is the best in the industry, always close to work and in a safe neighbourhood. And you want that… There are some companies that will show you a package deal that looks very appealing and then put you up in an unsafe place to save some bucks. I had met a fellow traveler that had to end the contract for that reason. Most of the big companies are a safe bet, all the small companies could be good but why take a chance. Also when you have an issue with the hospital CCTC sticks with you. Some of the small companies will not because to them it’s more imp to keep the door open to the hospital then take your side.

In conclusion, I think any of the big travel giants are a good start and then when you know the in’s and out’s of the trade try a smaller company.
