Occasionally, I will include a blog entry answering some of the most common questions I get from readers about locum tenens as a nurse practitioner. Feel free to comment any questions you have or email me at travelingNP.com@gmail.com.
- Can I work with multiple agencies at once to find an assignment?
Yes, I highly recommend working with 3-5 agencies at one time when searching for an assignment. This will increase your options and the probability of finding an assignment in the location you are interested in. It can also be beneficial to have multiple assignment offers to negotiate an increased rate. Recruiters understand that you will be working with other agencies so they will not take it personally or be upset.
Hi Sophia,
So do you recommend to actually interview and have several assignments lined up? I personally get stressed out about interviews so I try to limit them. And I always feel obligated for some reason. For the first assignment do you also recommend working with multiple agencies?
Thank you for your blog, always lots of useful information.
Hi, yes definitely for the first assignment. Yes I interview with multiple jobs. The interviews aren’t that serious like hiring for a full time job. They are usually just a 15 minute conversation.
