I have not read the above posts. I have hosted travelling medical professionals three times. One was a PTAssistant, next was a scrub nurse fella, next was a radiologist fella. None of them make that much. I saw two of the three contracts. All three get per diem for their daily expenses. It depends upon their level of their job.
The PTA got very little. The scrub nurse got a decent amount. The young radiologist got very little.
Contracts are subject to being cancelled all the time, especially now since the pandemic has slowed. (I’m on two travelling nurse FB pages so I’m relating the conversations).
The PTA was here for a month, then cancelled, moved to Salem and was cancelled after two weeks, so came back here to find a job. It was a private contract between both of us.
The scrub nurse was cancelled after one month. He paid via Air.
The radiologist was here for 2.5 months. He paid his first month thru Air and then privately after that.
None of them would have been able to pay a daily rate. And I really DONT care how much their expenses are at home. I found a monthly rent that worked for me, and asked them to pay that. Air only pays out one month at a time.
Hope this was enlightening.
