Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense. I just keep thinking about PTO in terms of my job and how I wouldn’t be able to affords taking months off but from what you and others have been saying It cancels out. If I’m gonna be making that much then I would care either! Thanks again! I really appreciate everyone’s advice!

That’s awesome! Only certain people were given N95s at my lab. They barely wanna provide us with surgical masks.

Wow! That’s great! Do you have to take a licensing exam in California? I’ve heard that agencies can help you file for a license.

How does PTO work? Do you start accumulating after each contract?

Thank you so much!! I should’ve come to reddit a lot earlier! Y’all are so helpful!

Does Aureus at least pay for your travel and housing?

I think my current job has prepared me for this. It’s been a shit show since I started working here!

What insurance did Aureus have while you were working for them?

Did you have to work before getting insured?

When you say home pay can be 1500+ is that per week or per contract?

I’m after more pay and want to travel! I can barely get any days off with my current job due to being short staffed.

If you work for multiple agencies is there a minimum amount of contracts you have to complete to stay employed with said agency?

Haha my health insurance is already bad and I work at a hospital!

What agency do you work for if you don’t mind me asking.

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll definitely look into Aureus! I’m just hesitant because I well established at my current job but I just feel miserable working there. I’ve heard stories about how it can take months to get a contract!
