What
kind of career opportunities does your company offer?
We specialize in 8 to 26
week Travel Nursing assignments for registered nurses who are interested in
the travel nursing lifestyle. The typical assignment is 13 weeks.
Can I
expect personal service with your company?
Our company is focused
on delivering our slogan... "Exceeding Expectations". We take pride in the
work that we do to accommodate each nurse's needs and career plans. We
consider ourselves to be a "boutique" agency, which means that we pledge
that our focus will be personal attention, respect, and a commitment to each
nurse's unique and individual needs
Do you cover all the United
States, parts of the U.S. or do you also offer international assignments?
Our travel nurse
placements all across America! We do not currently process international
candidates unless they are already fully credentialed and licensed for work
in the United States.
About professional insurance, do
you believe that the insurance that a company provides is good enough, or
does the nurse also need to obtain her own professional insurance?
We provide full
professional insurance at no charge. The coverage always meets or exceeds
the required coverage as specified by the hospital or governing authority,
but of course, our nurses are free to obtain additional insurance if they so
desire.
What size is your company
(small, medium, large), and can I expect to be treated as a number or a
name?
Travel Nurse across
America is considered a medium-sized company, which gains us access to the
jobs not offered to smaller companies, while at the same time allowing us to
provide the kind of personalized attention not possible by the larger
agencies.
I work night shift, what if I
have problems at night?
We have representatives
on call 24/7 so that we can be reached for any and every need. After hours
call are answered by a live service, so there is no automated system to
bypass. We also have an RN clinical liaison on call and available for any
job related or technical issues or concerns.

What is your average time from
acceptance of application to first day on the job for those nurses
ready-to-go?
Each assignment is different, but if a
nurse is truly ready to go, and the hospital is ready to receive, we can get
a nurse from acceptance of application to first day on the job in less than
two weeks! Typically, though, the process takes anywhere from two weeks to a
month, based on both the hospital and nurses' needs and desires. We also
process numerous "fast track" applications to fill assignments within 1 to 2
weeks.
What
makes your company more than “just another” travel company?
We are fully aware that a healthcare
professional that wants to travel can choose from numerous agencies. We also
know that a traveler going to new places and working with new people, needs
to feel that they can rely on the friendship and support of their agency as
they venture forth into the unknown. We understand that the traveling
experience can be exciting but also scary at times, so we want to make that
time as fulfilling and trouble free as possible. We think we do that better
than most. We consistently hear from our nurses that our obvious focus on
personal attention is the single most important reason for their enduring
loyalty to our company. At Travel Nurse across America, our nurses are
treated like members of our family -- because they are!
Travel Nurse across
America welcomes nurses with all ranges of experience to get in touch with
one of our nurse Recruiters. If a nurse is not quite ready to join the ranks
of Travelers now, we will point them to some excellent resources that will
help them gain the experience they need. Nurses can find out more about us
