I feel like every nurse has that one shift they’ll never forget. If you’re comfortable sharing, what happened during yours?

I’m honestly struggling with one thing in travel nursing—every recruiter promises “high pay” and the “perfect assignment,” but once the actual contract comes, the pay is lower, the housing stipend is confusing, and so many important details were never mentioned in the beginning. It feels like you have to decode everything yourself just to figure out if the job is actually worth taking. Sometimes I wonder if I’m being too picky or if agencies really make this process harder than it should be. How do other travel nurses figure out if an assignment is genuinely good before signing? What red flags do you always watch for?
