I've had a lot of people ask me where I go to find my next assignment. Well, I do a couple of things. I talk to my recruiter to see what the company I'm currently working with has to offer. If they don't have the location, or the money, that I'm after then I go to Delphi Forums and visit the Travel Nurses and Therapists Recruiting Board. This is a message board where literally hundreds of travel positions are listed weekly and they are divided into specialty so you don't spend time reading about OR jobs, if you're an ER nurse.
Even if I don't find exactly what I'm looking for, you get a feel for the money that's being offered (never take someones first offer - ALWAYS negotiate for more). You see what companies are in the areas you're interested in, etc.
Even better, Delphi has a board called TNT-No Recruiting. This is an excellent source for information shared by other travelers on companies, hospitals, and just plain camaraderie. They're both free boards, you have to register but there's no money involved. The links to each are below if you're interested. I've personally taken three assignments that I found on this board, and the others were found by my recruiter. (My recruiter advertises her positions on Delphi as well.)
Good Luck!!
