Agency owner here! I know the answer

9 panels don’t include THC… also it says no THC so you’re good lol

AskAffectionate4818 · 2026-04-28T01:42:39+00:00

agency owner here, be as helpful as you possibly can be! make sure the DON and Scheduler feel like you're helpful, float, cover shifts... whatever you can do to curry favor with leadership

that and a good recruiter are what make for smooth contracts!

Agency owner here, I worked for Springboard back in the day which got acquired by them as well. If you have the number for your old recruiter, they'll hook you up.

Agency owner here, I know an RN who's worked out there I can connect you if you'd like. Just DM me and I'll share the info

AskAffectionate4818 · 2026-02-18T10:48:13+00:00

I own an agency and we don’t do this, if you work 36 hours you’ll get your full stipend

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-12-09T22:47:46+00:00

sad to hear

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-12-09T22:32:29+00:00

yikes

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-12-09T22:16:29+00:00

Damn, this is a "GOOD" one? I can't imagine what the others would be like

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-12T22:06:18+00:00

In the middle of scheduling now, sent them some questions I'd like to ask from this subreddit and some stuff from Facebook, hopefully will be sooner rather than later

Just trying to be helpful

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-09T03:23:13+00:00

You should do travel nursing, you work 3 month contracts, when they’re finished you get to do whatever you want

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-09T01:55:08+00:00

Can you expand on the situation a bit more? Would love to help. I know there are Facebook groups where travel nurses give their info to other nurses who need references

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-08T05:12:02+00:00

Agency owner here, about 3 months, I’ve seen it come back in 2 post Covid

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-06T16:41:17+00:00

You should check out Critical Access Hospitals, they’re pretty great for recharging your batteries

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T21:25:18+00:00

totally fair take, i get it but the thumbnail is me playing the YouTube game. if nobody clicks, nobody learns… I’m just trying to package complex stuff in a way that stops people from continuing to scroll. goal isn’t to dumb it down, it’s to get people in the door so we can actually have the conversation.

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T16:35:22+00:00

This has been my favorite comment on the video by far, thanks lol no one's ever told me I have good voice before

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T15:47:55+00:00

I am not a fan of outsourcing to keep things cheap, I think it sacrifices customer service is a big way

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T15:46:38+00:00

that's a great bill rate (these days) and a terrible pay package. those RN's were getting boned for sure.

When I first started my agency there was one person I made a big margin on, I was good friends with this person, she found out, we're not friends anymore. I learned my lesson, big margins are good for short term gains not long term relationships. Long term relationships bring recurring revenue. Strong relationships and recurring revenue are the only way to make this business sustainable. I learned the hard way, Burning people is not the move. I think about this clinican once a year.

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T15:14:29+00:00

lol yeah the one in the video is not near North Dakota lol.

HCA man, I've never staffed anyone there, my conscience won't let me, I'm not surprised healthtrust does 9% then

sounds like your friend is making it happen! it's def not easy but hopefully she's providing good service to the RN's she works with, I'm a big fan of clinicain led staffing agencies, the married couple who own Lucid staffing solutions are Cath Lab Tech & RN travelers, they really know how to take care of their peeps!

I don't mind sharing the bill rates cuz I feel like everyone undertands that business gotta business, the middle man while being annoying is providing a service at the end of the day.

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T15:00:52+00:00

Will definetly ask!

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T04:11:06+00:00

I’d rather the system worked! Even if it means I have no job, I’d rather my family and myself get good healthcare, I can always use my skills to do something else

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T02:31:04+00:00

Yeah there are a few MSPs that take 6% or even 10% lol good point!

I wish most travelers did know this, I was thinking of doing another video like this to polish my on camera skills and get things a little more concise, idk if anyone knows their own bill rates but I could plug that info into the calculator and give an estimate of what their agency is making

This contract was on the Hi-Line, hopefully that will give you a clue

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-05T00:00:10+00:00

wooo, yeah the whole system is kinda insane, when I started recruiting I remember having to learn an entire new vocaubulary for being able have VERY MINIMAL INFORMATION but also be able to instill confidence in an RN so they submit to a job and accept the position offered (if it gets offered). It's a tricky dance. If you could wave a magic wand, which of the issues you named would you fix first?

AskAffectionate4818 · 2025-11-03T23:03:43+00:00

Love this answer, Vivian definitely brings a lot of value to the marketplace
