How
long will my assignments last? |
|
Your assignments will
last as long as you commit to staying. tempsPLUS-Medical typically
offers two different assignment time frames.
- Shorter term assignments
that typically last up to 8 weeks
- Longer term assignments,
which are generally 13 weeks or longer
When it comes to length
of assignment, once again, you're the boss. We will make you aware
of all the open positions for which you qualify, and then you choose
the location and the length of contract that best suits your personal
interest and availability.

Will
I be guaranteed a forty-hour workweek? |
|
Each assignment that we
offer is considered full-time. The exact number of hours per week
varies by facility. However, for the sake of budgeting, most assignments
are between 36 and 40 hours per week. Some facilities will even offer
overtime. |
|

What
types of assignments are available? |
|
We have a myriad of assignments
from which to choose. We have assignments nationwide, from large hospitals
associated with teaching institutions, to more rural settings where
you can enjoy a little more slower paced lifestyle. You name it and
we have it, if we don't have it , , , we can get it! |

What
happens once I have selected an assignment? |
|
Once you have selected
a specific assignment, your tempsPLUS-Medical Coordinator will work
directly with you and the facility that you have selected so that
they have an opportunity to review your background and areas of expertise.
Your tempsPLUS-Medical Coordinator will arrange an over-the telephone
interview between you and the hiring supervisor at the facility you
have selected. This is a good time for you to have a prepared list
of questions concerning the unit where you will be working, as well
as any other questions that will make you feel more comfortable and
prepared to take on your new assignment. Once everyone feels comfortable
we take steps to get you on your way. |
|
|

How
do I get to my assignment? |
|
We have found that it
is probably best for you to drive to your new assignment. That way
when you arrive, you are more mobile and you have the opportunity
to explore and better enjoy your new surroundings. If you prefer to
leave your car at home, that is fine too. Whatever method of transportation
that you choose, tempsPLUS-Medical will help you by providing a generous
travel allowance. |

What
type of housing can I expect when I arrive? |
| |
Our housing is comfortable
and conveniently located so that you will be able to get to and from
work with a minimal amount of commuting time. Our traveling staff
typically share a well-appointed two-bedroom apartment with another
traveler who is working in the same area. tempsPLUS makes sure that
each apartment is fully furnished and all rent and utilities are paid
by tempsPLUS. |

Can
I bring a friend or family member with me? |
| |
Absolutely, we have found
that traveling with another healthcare professional, your spouse or
a good friend allows you to more fully enjoy your stay. Please feel
free to discuss this option with your tempsPLUS-Medical Staffing Coordinator.
