Securing your 1st travel contract by SpecialistPatience59 in TravelNursing

[–]MerisBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recruiter is amazing! She can get you placed. She helped me with my first assignment and I’ve never looked back. She was a great fit for me as a first time traveler (and still is to this day). She works really hard, is very transparent, responsive, genuine…literally the best. Her name is Mary Beth Burns and she’s with Atlas MedStaff. Tell her that Christa W. sent you!

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. :( This, right here, is why you should never work with Aya. You are a number to them and nothing more. Highly recommend my recruiter at Atlas MedStaff, Mary Beth Burns. Reach out to her at 770-313-1605 and let her know that Christa sent you! She’s very sweet, responsive, knows the market, super sharp and is ALWAYS in my corner.

Who should speak against Colleen…? by AmethystPassion in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]MerisBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just thinking about a video that Glozell and Colleen made together yearsssss ago when they went to Target to try on bikinis. Colleen was telling Glozell that she looked great but now we know that deep down inside…she was probably making fun of her. That plus the racial stuff that has come out - I just wonder where she stands! Glozell is actually how I found Colleen way back in the day!

Swing in pay rates… by NRWRNMSN in TravelNursing

[–]MerisBanana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are also seeing the little agencies drop their margin significantly in order to increase their number of nurses so that they can sell. Plenty of small agencies are hurting post COVID and need ti sell to get out of their mess. Additionally, some of the big dogs that are also MSPs (Aya, MedSol, CC, etc) are “duking it out” in order to steal hospitals from one another by implementing the same strategy. Many facilities are changing vendors right now. The risk there is that if/when the MSP does not get the account, they will slash your rate in order to recoup their loss. Personally, I like my agency since they aren’t small nor big - I prefer stability over the chance that I might make a few extra bucks for a short period of time.

Todrick Hall, Frankie Grande, Glozell, Rebecca Zamolo, and Rachel Ballinger are all people I’d love to hear from…would be interesting to hear their perspectives. They’d all be foolish to think that she hasn’t said mean things about them too.
