Coming from someone who's been a travel nurse since 2016...I know how hard it is to decide which travel agencies are the best to work with, so here are The Top 3 I recommend!
#1 Prolink Staffing - #ProlinkStaffing is my favorite company for many reasons. They deployed me not once by twice to #Hawaii! Yes, I said it, Hawaii! I say “deployed” because they had exclusive FEMA or Federal Emergency Management Agency contracts. This means that my flight, rental car, and hotel were all provided (paid for) during my contract when Hawaii declared a state of emergency during #COVID. Another reason why I really #appreciate this company is because of the contracts they offer. Their pay is typically very competitive (#highpaying) and you will never have to #negotiate. The stipends and hourly pay are spot on and I’ve never had to question whether the Prolink nurse working beside me is making more than me. I really appreciate their #transparent #paypackages, meaning, for example, any #ERnurse going to work at Kaiser San Leandro, will be given the same pay package. So, every ER nurse going to that hospital and dept will get the same rate from Prolink which I think is entirely fair and necessary. This allows us to avoid thinking we may be getting different pay (less pay) from other nurses. Which, unfortunately, a lot of companies do depending on who your company/recruiter is.
#2 Aya - #AyaHealthcare is another great company. I really appreciate their website and I wish all companies had websites like this one #winkwink. If you have ever logged into Aya’s job search you can utilize their filters to find the right job for you before ever having to contact the #recruiter first. You can pick your #specialty, shift preference, contract #length, and #location, and even see the estimated gross pay based on what you claim on your taxes. If you read my other blog about Top 2 Resources to Negotiate Pay - Now Let's Talk Money!, you could guesstimate your take-home and see if your cost of living in that state/city would be worth reaching out to the recruiter to request details about that specific contract. See images below of this feature. #Aya also has quite the #competitive pay and for those of you who live on the East coast like myself, they have lots of options for you as well. Most companies focus on the larger states on the West Coast (California), but Aya has contracts to please everyone (especially those in Florida).
#3 TotalMed Staffing - I worked 4 consecutive contracts with this company (1 year). I would say that my recruiter with #TotalMed Staffing was one of my #favorite recruiters. Anytime I had issues with #pay or stipends they would definitely make sure that I got the pay I requested and would happily beat any #competitive contracts. The only issue was that TotalMed didn't have many contracts at the time that I worked with them which was back in 2019 to 2020. Anytime I was contacted by a recruiter of another company that would offer me a decent paying contract, I would bring it to my TotalMed recruiter’s attention and she would make sure that I got that #contract, with a higher pay rate, and that, of course, made me very happy.
All of these companies held up their end of the contract. I never had ANY issues with #pay or #communication which you will soon find out are the two MOST IMPORTANT things you look for in a #travel #agency.
There is one thing that all my #travelnurse friends know about me, that's, “No one better mess around with my pay”! Your money is YOURS, make sure they pay you right !
