Keep Those Old Medical Records…

 

If you are a traveling physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech language pathologist, here are some credentialing tips that will help with those quick start travel assignments.  The first thing that you want to do is ask your recruiter if there are any medical records that you will need for the assignment.  This will keep the process moving and head off any hurdles, when trying to start a new assignment. Also, as a traveler, it is a good idea to always keep those medical records when you are given a copy.  In some cases this will avoid you having to take certain medical tests over and again.  Lastly, if you are waiting on a license to begin an assignment, make sure you follow up with the board.  Sometimes, you may be missing documents that you are not aware of, and this will slow the licensing process.  So follow these tips and contact me, Quincey Adger at Cirrus Allied Staffing, 678-993-2309, for your next travel assignment

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season- it's hard to believe that 2008 is already over! Yesterday was the beginning of a brand new year, which has had most of us thinking about our goals and plans for 2009. Maybe you have friends or family in a particular city you'd like to visit, or perhaps you're thinking of a beautiful coastal location that you would like to explore. Whatever your reason for wanting to take your therapy skills on the road this year, we are the company to help you through it!

January is an ideal time to book your late winter/early spring travel assignments. This is because most hospitals and skilled nursing facilities have brand new budgets to bring on the extra help. This is also the time of year they are planning ahead for upcoming maternity leaves and vacations. Even during these rough economic times, your skills and expertise is needed throughout the country.

MDI Medical, soon to be called Cirrus Allied Staffing, offers excellent compensation&benefit packages for all of our employees. We offer high paying contract assignments within the nation's most prestigious hospital systems. We currently have positions available for the following modalities:

• Physical Therapists&Assistants
• Occupational Therapists & Assistants
• Speech Language Pathologists

Call me today for a list of current openings!

Attention Traveling Therapist please be sure to obtain renters insurance to protect your belongings. Renters insurance is for anyone renting their place of residence. Having insurance protects your personal belongings from Fire, Theft, and vandalism. State Farm also suggests that renters insurance can help protect you in case of a liability incident.

Renters insurance is usually not much, depending on the coverage and deductible. Many times if you carry your auto insurance under the same company as your renters insurance they will give you a discount.

MDI Medical highly recommends for all Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, and Speech Therapist to have renters insurance. When you are out on Travel Therapy Jobs we want you as well as your belongings to be safe.

Happy 2009!

We have a lot to look forward to in '09. First, you'll start to see our new name, Cirrus Allied Staffing, and new logo, more often. Secondly, a new database designed to streamline our processes. It fully integrates our entire employment lifecycle - from your application, to matching potential allied health jobs to your requirements, to interviews, to job offer, to credentialing&housing, to payroll & client invoicing. I'm very excited about it. (What you'll notice most is the ease of recruiters matching specific speech therapy jobs and other rehab jobs when you're on the phone.) You'll also have the ability to fill out applications and online forms.

Another change is integrating our payroll and accounting to our sister company, Cirrus Medical Staffing. Since our acquisition in July, payroll has been done 70% in Atlanta and 30% in Charlotte. This will flip-flop next payroll. You'll still send your timesheets to the same number. Your paychecks will still say "MDI Medical." Paychecks and paystubs will be mailed from the Charlotte office beginning next week.

Sadly for us, we have to say goodbye to Kathy Flagler. Kathy has been our payroll & accounting manager for more than a year now. Many of you have talked with her on the phone (especially when your timesheet was late!) Her contract ends in a couple of weeks, and she's transitioning her duties as I type. Kathy starts a new contract in a similar role with a national consumer magazine here in Atlanta. We wish her many successes. I'm sure she'll make as big an impact there as she did for us.

The holidays are over and it's time to get back to work.  Why not go someone warm for the winter.  Have you ever been to Arizona?  If you are a Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, or Speech language Pathologist your next travel assignment should be with MDI Medical.  MDI Medical has great travel opportunities in Arizona.  Don’t worry about getting there MDI Medical can assist you.  Housing, Per Diem, travel costs all included.  Our clients are offering huge bonuses to sign a contract for 26 weeks.  MDI has assignments for Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapists in major cities including Tucson, Phoenix, Kingman, Mesa, and Glendale.  If you are a traveler that is looking for adventure make Arizona your next stop on Route 66.   MDI offers diverse opportunities in Outpatient, Inpatient Rehab, and Acute Care.   Let us help you find your next Allied Health Job.

**look for our name change coming soon ~ Cirrus Allied Staffing

Although the medical field has always been a "safe" industry to work in, healthcare companies are finally hitting the tipping point. With a suffering economy and high unemployment rate, it's difficult for most employees to be picky right now. This wasn't the case for physical, occupational, and speech therapists 2 or 3 months ago, but is becoming more frequent now for traveling therapists. It used to be that a licensed therapist could find almost exactly what they were looking for ie: location, setting, time frame, and hours; things are now getting a little more difficult with our struggling economy. Although the travel jobs are still out there, hospitals can't pay as much as they could in the past, some hospital systems are cutting their travel budget completely, and the economy is slowly starting to catch up to the healthcare industry. My advice to my traveling therapists out there reading this is to understand where our economy is right now, and understand that the "perfect position" has become much harder to find. Prioritize your needs whether it be location, money, setting, or hours. Understand that although this is the way it is right now, things will change! Be patient and maybe a little more flexible for this next assignment so that you continue to travel and gain that great experience for your next!

Attention all traveling physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech language pathologist, here are some tips that will help Cirrus Allied Staffing find the right travel assignment for you.

 

One of the best ways that you can help CAS find the right travel assignment for you is to be flexible in the locations that you choose.  You want to give your recruiter several different locations to search, there fore your chances of finding an assignment will greatly increase.  You don’t want to limit yourself to one specific area, but you will limit your options.  As a traveler, you also want to be upfront and honest about the type of assignment that you are looking for. If you absolutely refuse to do a SNF, then let your recruiter know, so we can conduct a more specific search. Lastly, you need to know where your resume has been.  If you are working with more than one company, keep track of where each company has submitted your resume.  This also, will help CAS conduct a more focused organized job search.   

 

So if you need help finding the right travel assignment, contact me Quincey Adger at 866-518-1750x2309. 

 

Extra $$$ for the holidays???  Think Rehab Therapy Jobs!!!

I know everybody has the holidays in mind...but what about after the holidays???  Dinner, lights, caroling..."Oh what fun it is to ride," sorry, I got a little carried away there.  Unfortunately, with the arrival of the New Year will come the arrival of new bills!  Don't panic, I've got the solution to make opening up your credit card statements a little less painful.  

The medical field is booming, and Rehabilitation Therapy is leading the pack!  There is a huge demand for Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Language Pathologists!  I have job opportunities all over the country in every state.  If you are interested, or know someone who is, then you can contact me at 1-866-518-1750 x 2311. 

FYI, MDI MEDICAL offers a $500 referral bonus for anyone who gives us the contact information for therapists who then signs on with us for a travel contract!

I hope everyone has a safe, and happy holiday! :)

Whether you provide physical, occupational or speech therapy or provide therapists to clients, I am grateful to be in the rehab travel therapy market.

While this recession has wrecked havoc on many industries, the therapy market remains strong. The jobs are plentiful across the country unless of course, you are trying to get to San Diego California or Florida right now.  We're still seeing a lot of demand in therapy positions, including home health and schools. Ask an MDI recruiter about these settings if you are interested.

With that said, keep in mind every company, including MDI isn't posting every position.  So if you are looking still this season, shoot us an email or apply on our website. We'll follow up with you promptly. We'll also give you the candid picture on what's going on in the therapy market in the area you are looking.

Each month we send out a newsletter that incorporates an article for MDI's job seekers.  These articles discuss many different aspects of our traveling therapists' lives.  Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing excerpts from our articles.  I will begin with an article titled "How to Get Recruiters to Work Hard for You." To read the full article click here, or simply enjoy the following blog posts.


As every seasoned physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology traveler knows, having a great recruiter can make all the difference in the world when it comes to advancing your career. A great recruiter knows the business like the back of their hand, has a keen sense of where the best opportunities lie, and combines that with a deep understanding of what’s important to you to build a new assignment that is even better than the last.

But there’s more to a great recruiter. Once you’ve worked with a few, the differences between good and great become much clearer. The best recruiters love what they do. They have great people skills. They’re patient, yet they know when to apply pressure to help get what you want. They also know when a little finesse is better than making hard demands. More importantly, the best recruiters in the business do something that few others are truly willing to do – they work their tails off for their travelers.

Finding the Best of the Best
For most rehab travelers, finding the recruiter that works best for you is going to take some trial and error, but it doesn’t have to be painful. Rehab therapy is a relatively small world, and word – good and bad – gets around fast. Talk with your fellow travelers and staff therapists as well. Odds are that some of them have had great experiences working with recruiters, and they can help you avoid taking an assignment that sounds too good to be true.

The staffing business is all about relationships, and your recruiter should work to build a strong bond with you from the start. You can learn a lot by listening to the questions that recruiters ask you. Are they interested in what’s important to you or are they hurrying through the call to try to get to whether or not you’d take an assignment? Are they looking beyond your resume to uncover your goals and dreams? Every recruiter wants to place you on an assignment, but the best recruiters know that a strong relationship is the foundation for a long term relationship with a hardworking recruiter that is willing to invest the time to find what’s best for you. In fact, the very best recruiters become much more than your recruiter – they’re your career agent, your coach, sometimes your counselor, and they almost always become a very close friend. Building this trust takes time, but there are several things a traveler can do to work toward such a relationship.
