On today's episode, Mark covers all the types of "crisis staffing" that often include very high pay rates.  What are the risks for a traveler, however?  He openly discusses Strikes, natural disasters, system conversions, and even the "pandemic" that had so many healthcare providers entering the travel system.  A very timely episode that will give you some good things to consider when you're being presented with a "crisis" staffing opportunity.

On today's episode, Mark openly discusses some "myths,” that many travelers often ask him about, and many that we see on social media.  This episode hopefully dispels the inaccuracies that many have within our industry to help move everyone forward on the issues that truly exist and those that can legitimately be corrected.  A great episode that will hopefully move our industry forward and help "evolve" the industry.

On today's episode, Mark discusses his take on the amount of "trust" each of the 3 sides of our business have in each other.  This industry relies on each other for transparency, honesty, and commitment.  When one of those sides isn't holding up their end of the bargain, the whole assignment collapses.  This episode hopefully, helps travelers to have a better understanding of what te other sides go through, that hopefully can bridge some communication gaps and lead to a better level of the industry overall.

It's a shame that we actually had to do an episode dedicated to the "bullying" that seems to go hand-in-hand with being a healthcare traveler often times, but yet... here we are.  On today's episode, we cover this topic that seems to be rarely spoken about on social media, but is one of the most common complaints or "cons" that travelers have.  Mark discusses to root causes of bullying and some very helpful ideas on how to handle this situation if, and probably when, it happens to you.
