Your website states that I can enjoy "the adventure of a lifetime."  What kind of adventure can I expect  with your company?

You can expect a professionally fulfilling adventure chocked with lifetime experiences!   We have contracts throughout all 50 states and work with hospitals of all sizes and flavors (for profit, not-for-profit, Indian Reservations, Military, government, etc.).  We won’t stand for our travelers being limited, so we encourage our travelers to try them all.  The adventure of exerting flexibility in a small hospital to crises driven adventures of Level I trauma centers allow our travelers to become a more seasoned professional.  Cirrus travelers develop into the type of professional who has worked with various management styles and has the acquired talent to share with other facilities.  The Cirrus adventure allows our travelers to remain true to their “calling” without losing touch with himself/herself or sacrificing career fulfillment.

How Does Cirrus show that they care about their nurses? 

We demonstrate flexibility for EACH traveler, practice consistent contact, follow up and contractual commitment.  Cirrus demonstrates appreciation through gifts for Nurses Week, some of the best insurance coverage plans in the industry (effective day one of employment), other benefits (please see our list) that create a well balanced employment package that far exceeds the industry standard.  Our level of care is recognized with an average retention rate consistently in excess of 80% yearly.

What areas does Cirrus cover?

Currently, we serve all 50 states. We are in the works with partnering with another firm to provide travel assignment in Australia, The UK, and New Zealand.

How am I guaranteed 36 to 40 hours a week?  What if I happen to be sick, am I still paid for that time, or do I need to make a day?  What if I get called off for low-census?

Cirrus contractually ensures that your hours are guaranteed through the facility which you are assigned.  Furthermore, if you’re sick or have an emergency, not only will you be supported by your Cirrus recruiter, you will be allowed to make up your lost time.  We also offer a Paid Time Off Program where you can earn days to receive pay if you’re absent from work.  In the unlikely even you’re sent home for low census, you’re still paid; however, if this situation occurs most client facilities arrange for floating responsibilities to similar units so not to cause undue financial hardship for our travelers. 

What is the size of your company?

Medium sized. We treat each traveler with respect and form lasting relationships based on honesty and doing what we say we'll do.

If I want to travel to somewhere that you don't have listed, am I referred to "sister" company or will you attempt to get me an assignment where I want?

We will first market you to individual hospitals in areas that you prefer to be located.  We have a unique success in our attempts to provide “location service” for our travelers desiring preferred locations.  In the event we can’t situate our travelers in preferred locations, we offer top dollar to accept another suitable location until we’ve accomplished your location preference.  Alternatively, we may choose to refer you to another of our “partnered” companies which may better serve the traveler’s location need.

Most companies pay for housing, but will you help me out with utilities?

Your utilities will be placed in Cirrus’ name and we pay a monthly utility stipend that our traveler’s find comfortable and fair.

What makes Cirrus Medical Staffing different than the other travel companies?

Cirrus Medical Staffing makes is different in the fact that we give our travelers the individual attention and flexibility that they need to perform their job successfully.  With a single phone call, you will speak with a Cirrus employee 24 hours daily, 365 days yearly and will not have to contend with an answering service.  We go the extra mile to ensure our travelers are safely housed, supported with their issues, and treated with the respect that is deserved.  Our travelers are treated as the professionals that they are and served as our most important asset (because they are).
