Travel Nursing jobs directly through hospital

[Wolf at the Door, BSN]

Time to cut out the recruiter. There are plenty of hospitals nationwide that offer travel jobs between the nurse and hospital. No bothersome agency or recruiter.

It works better for people within a short drive rather than those living hundreds or thousands of miles away.

This thread's purpose is to provide nurses with what hospitals are providing those opportunities.
