Best companies for travel nursing

Cali · Jul 1, 2012

I'm actually glad no one answered the question "what company is the best". Majority of the people you talk to will think their company is the best. I think my company is the best and every time I meet a new traveler at a new assignment, they try to talk me into signing with their company because they think their company is the best. I just met a travel nurse at my hotel and all I asked her was what company she worked for and she gave me the name, number, recruiter and then said "you should sign up with them". So anyway...There is no best agency but I will say a lot of travelers don't really care for American Mobile. It's SO competitive, there's SO many agencies out there to choose from. I've worked with 3 different travel companies since 2008 and right now I think I have the right one for me. It all depends on what YOU need. For instance, my current company doesn't find you housing, you just get the stipend and that's just fine with me because I like to do my own thing. Another traveler didn't like it because she didn't want to try to find housing in an unfamiliar area.

The typical requirement is one year experience but once you have your phone interview with the director, they may be looking for experience as a traveler as well. More and more of my interviews are asking me how many years I've been traveling. Phone interviews aren't usually too extensive though. I've gotten most of my jobs without even having an interview.

I have heard the same mixed reviews.

Looking to travel soon, what company are you using now that you are happy with?

I currently work for FlexCare Medical Staffing and I love them. In the past, I worked with Aya Healthcare (formerly known as Access Nurses) and ATC.
