Over twenty years ago, I worked for an agency and had no idea there was a non-complete clause. Why does an agency have the right to have a non-complete clause when other employers do not hold their employees hostage stating they cannot work for another nursing home or hospital? Agencies pay great and I worked them while in college. (LNA to RN) Agencies also give you an opportunity to decide where you don't want to work. I do not understand an agency having the authority to restrict your job opportunities. They serve a purpose but people's lives, needs, and goals change.
