9 Best Travel Nurse Companies of 2023

Are you ready to try travel nursing? Working with a travel nurse staffing agency can make it easier to find travel nursing jobs and to negotiate pay rates and benefits. An agency gives you a point of contact who can help you navigate job listings and compensation packages.

The sooner you find the right company, the faster you can start traveling.

Click here for today’s top travel nursing opportunities.

How To Find The Right Travel Nursing Company

When looking for the best travel nursing company to suit your needs, you first have to know what your needs are.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when considering travel nursing companies:

• Are you going to need health insurance?
• How important is it that you contribute to your retirement?
• Do you prefer to find your own housing or do you want your company to find it for you?
• Where do you want to travel?
• How do you plan on getting there?
• Do you plan on working per diem as well?
• What kind of healthcare facilities are you hoping to work in?

What to Look for in Travel Nursing Agencies

When looking into travel nurse agencies you should first make sure that they provide the basics: free housing or a housing stipend, health and dental insurance, a retirement plan, travel reimbursement, 24-hour customer support, and a variety and abundance of travel nursing jobs all over the country.

Here are a few tips from my experience about the basics:

Travel Nurse Housing:

Do you want your agency to find housing for you, or do you want to take the housing stipend and search for housing yourself?

I personally found it much easier to have my agency set up my housing for me. This way I knew it was safe, furnished, close to where I was working, and paid for. If there were any problems, all I had to do was call my company and it would be handled.

Many people choose to find their own housing and take the housing stipend instead. There are pros and cons to this choice:

Pros To Choosing Housing Stipends

• Your housing stipend depends on the city you live in, but oftentimes, it is more than the rent you end up paying. This is a good way to make some extra tax-free cash.
• You can find exactly the type of housing you’re looking for at the price you’re willing to pay. You can rent just a room for yourself and pocket a lot of cash. Or rent an entire house if you’re bringing your family or pets along. If you’re traveling with fellow coworkers, you can find a bigger house to share that fits everyone.
• You can choose where you live. Maybe you’re going to Seattle and you’d rather live downtown and commute to work than vs. living next to the hospital in the suburbs.
• There are several websites and groups now to help you find housing
• Once you’ve done it once, you understand how to find housing and can repeat the process in the next location.

Cons To Choosing Housing Stipends

• It can be difficult to find short-term furnished housing.
• Many landlords require a deposit, so you have to front that money before you get your first paycheck.
• If you end up extending your contract, it’s not guaranteed that your landlord hasn’t rented out the place to someone else.
• If you have never been to that city before, it can also be tough to determine whether a neighborhood is safe or not.

Another thing to keep in mind, if you are traveling with a pet, it may make it difficult to find your own housing. Oftentimes, travel nurse agencies have housing already contracted that accepts pets.

There are pros and cons to using your a travel nurse agency’s contracted housing vs. finding your own housing. It just depends on how much time and effort you can put into the search and if you’re hoping to pocket any extra housing stipend cash.

Benefits for Travel Nurses:

• The majority of travel nurse companies offer health and dental insurance.
• Now that the Affordable Care Act is in place, it might be wise to research whether or not it would be more cost-effective for you to go with your agency’s healthcare plan or purchase one of your own through healthcare.org. The benefit of going through healthcare.org is that if you do plan on switching travel nurse agencies, you won’t have to change your insurance.
• Some smaller travel nurse companies will give you a healthcare stipend if you don’t take their health insurance so you can purchase your own.
• As far as retirement plans go, I decided to open up my own Roth IRA and not contribute to the 401K because I didn’t know how long I was going to be traveling.  With some companies you can contribute to your 401K from day 1 and with others you have to wait as long as 1 year.

Travel Nurse Reimbursements

When talking with your potential travel nurse agency, make sure you ask them what the reimbursement is for travel. “Travel” cost is considered the amount of money it takes you to get from your “tax home” to your travel assignment or from one assignment to the next. Often times this can be negotiated if there is a high need in one state that happens to be across the country.

I have found that the average reimbursement is $500.

They will pay you half on your first paycheck and the other half when you complete your assignment. You have the option of either driving or flying to your next destination. I personally drove to each of my assignments; I couldn’t imagine trying to fit all my belongings into suitcases and I love road trips.

Important Pay and Benefits Questions to Ask

Not all benefits or pay packages are created equal. It is important to find an agency that offers benefits, housing, and pay packages that are specific to your needs.

1. What destinations does your agency serve?

The whole point of travel nursing is to travel…right? So it is important to find a company that serves the city or cities you want to travel to. Some agencies claim they have contracts nationwide, however, that may not be the case.

If you know of a specific hospital that you would like to travel to because it looks good on your resume or a specific city you want to explore, then make sure your potential agency has a contract at that location. This is especially important if you want to travel to places such as Hawaii and Alaska.

Match with a travel company here.

2. How are your pay packages broken down?

Does the company tend to pay a higher base rate with lower non-taxable reimbursements or a lower base rate with higher non-taxable reimbursements?

Having a higher base rate may serve you better if you plan on taking company housing, plan on buying a house, or getting a loan in the near future. If you are someone who likes to find their own housing, then a higher housing stipend may be the way to go with a lower base rate.

3. What types of housing do you provide?

Most agencies offer a one-bedroom furnished apartment for your typical 13-week contract. This typically does not include dishes, linen, a washer and dryer, a T.V., or even a vacuum. If you don’t like lugging your belongings around with you all over the country or paying out of pocket to rent this stuff, then it may be wise to either ask if the agency provides any of these necessities at no cost or find your own housing.

If your contract is only eight weeks, then you could get stuck in an extended-stay hotel. I personally like to have nice housing, so I wanted a company that focused on providing comfortable and safe housing options. If you like to find your own housing then this may not apply to you.

4. What type of benefits do you offer?

Most agencies offer medical/dental benefits and a retirement package. If these benefits are important to you, then finding a company with good benefits is essential.

If you like to live on the edge with no health benefits and you brush and floss your teeth like a champ, then maybe you don’t care about benefits. If this is the case then you can ask the company if they are willing to pay you a higher base rate for not taking their benefits.

As far as retirement packages go, I found it easier to do my own Roth IRA on the side. This way, if I switched companies I didn’t have to worry about moving my money all over the place.

Click here to discover new high paying opportunities.

5. What types of extra work-related costs do you reimburse for?

Travel nurse companies can reimburse you for the following:

• Licensing fees
• CEU (Continuing Education) requirements
• Certifications
• Required immunizations

Some travel nurse agencies have a CEU database that is free for their employees. This helps cut costs in those states that require a certain number to maintain or acquire a new license.

These extra costs add up over time so it’s nice to know your agency is looking out for your pocketbook.

6. What are your missed and canceled shift policies?

A missed shift means you called in sick, and a canceled shift means they canceled you for low census. For the most part, the hospital determines how the travel nurse agency handles this, and it will be written in your contract.

This is important because in the travel nurse world if you don’t work, you don’t get paid. And in some cases, you may have to reimburse your agency for housing costs.

There may be a clause written in your contract that allows you to “miss” a certain amount of shifts without being penalized. There will also be a clause that states how many shifts the hospital can cancel you. Usually, it’s once a pay period, and your agency shouldn’t require you to reimburse them for housing costs.

There are even some agencies that offer 100% guaranteed shifts meaning no matter what you will not get canceled.

Find travel assignments in your specialty here.

Other Questions To Ask a Travel Nurse Agency:

• What is the travel reimbursement?
• How much will health insurance cost me?
• If I don’t take health insurance, do I get a healthcare stipend?
• When can I start contributing to my 401K?
• Are there bonuses for extending assignments?
• How often do I get paid?
• Does the company also contract per diem work?
• Do they offer paid time off?
• Are there any referral bonuses available?

Host Healthcare is amazing! Best travel co out there! Amanda is the recruiter I have & she is wonderful. She is there from the beginning. From searching for the perfect assignment throughout completion of a contract - Amanda is there for me! Host Healthcare treats their nurses so well

Amanda Goad is the most amazing recruiter I have worked with. She is the most responsive and go-getter. She is in constant contact with you or hospitals to get you offers and/or advocating for you. She is super motivated and helpful. If you have the opportunity to use her, you will not regret it.

Needed to move across country to be next to my partner, but blindly jumping into a full time job for a hospital system I was not familiar with was out of the question. Host Healthcare (Natalie G specifically) stood by me and helped me fulfill my absurdly specific requests. I was a first time time traveler and I couldn't have made it without the support I received!

Just finished my first contract with Host Healthcare (fifth overall) and they were amazing! Specifically my recruiter Jenny Berroth. Jenny was so helpful and easy to communicate with. I had a couple issues come up and Jenny was all over them and took care of everything so I could just concentrate on being a nurse, while she handled the rest. I can’t recommend Host and Jenny enough! You have to give Host and Jenny a try, you’ll be glad you did!

What You Should Know about Your Travel Nursing Recruiter’s Job

Recruiters are a pivotal part of every travel nurse’s career. Recruiters are travelers’ primary interface with specific agencies and the job market in general. In fact, you’ll find many travel nurses who claim that recruiters are the single most important external component of their careers. This is why experienced travel nurses are always on the hunt for the best travel nursing recruiters . However, the recruiter’s day-to-day job duties and requirements remain a mystery to most. Knowing what’s going on behind the scenes can be very useful for travel nurses.

How is a recruiter’s job performance measured?

Fundamentally speaking, travel nurse recruitment is a sales job. Consider the following summary from a job posting for a recruiter:

2012 and 2013 Best Places to Work Winner! ProLink Healthcare! ProLink Healthcare is seeking a  proven sales driven recruiter to represent our organization and join our team.  ProLink has emerged as a local leader in Therapy and Nursing recruitment and …

We added the emphasis, but nearly every job posting we found for travel nurse recruiters made some mention of SALES. Whether the advertisement required previous sales experience or framed the position as a sales position, nearly every job posting mentioned sales.

Why is this important? Because a recruiter’s job is largely measured the same way that any other telephone based sales position is measured. Of course, the end goal is to get travel nurses working. And in today’s data driven world, a recruiter’s job goals are typically viewed as being contingent upon “Key Performance Indicators (KPI).” KPIs are defined as “A set of quantifiable measures that a company or industry uses to gauge or compare performance in terms of meeting their strategic and operational goals.”

Now, before we go any further, let’s stop to discuss the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Travelers routinely voice justified concerns over “being treated like a number.” And they routinely point to the largest agencies in the business as the ones who make them feel like “just a number.”

However, rest assured that every agency is tracking data as it pertains to KPIs on some level. Some agencies are more technical than others, but every agency has some concept of KPIs. Doing so is imperative in today’s marketplace.

So when it comes to service, some recruiters are far better at treating travelers like humans, and some agencies are better at fostering a humanizing culture, despite their data driven performance regimes. Moreover, most agencies do indeed consider service when evaluating a recruiter’s performance. However, this is a topic for a future blog post.

For now, let’s take a look at the KPIs that are prevalent for travel healthcare recruiters in order to better understand their day-today activities. Remember, the recruiter’s primary objective is to get nurses working. Different agencies may take different approaches to KPIs. For example, certain KPIs may be more important than others depending on the agency. And if a recruiter has already achieved a high level of success, then some agencies may not even bother with tracking KPIs for them any more, until they stop being successful of course.

Travel nurse recruiting KPI

With that in mind, we’re going to categorize the common KPIs in travel healthcare under the various steps of the recruitment process.

Travel Nurse Sourcing

The first step in the recruitment process is sourcing. Sourcing is the proactive searching for qualified job candidates. Rather than waiting for candidates to come to you, you must actively seek out and find the candidates. Recruiters have several sourcing methods at their disposal. Here is a sample list:

• Social media networking
• Job postings
• Searching on job boards
• Sending mass emails
• Telephone calls/campaigns

While it may appear that recruiters spend countless hours on social media and job boards, the simple fact of the matter is that telephone campaigns are much more widely used. And telephone campaigns are the king of travel nurse sourcing.

Of course, in order to conduct telephone campaigns an agency needs to have a large database full of potential candidates along with their personal contact information. And every agency has that.

At most agencies, the only sourcing method that’s considered in forming a recruiter’s KPIs is Number 5, Telephone calls/campaigns. Of course, if a recruiter achieves success with one of the other methods, nobody will complain. But call campaigns are easily quantifiable and widely viewed as highly successful.

For example, recruiters may be required to make and/or take 100 calls per day. This is not an easy task to achieve when manually dialing the telephone numbers and leaving a messages for those who don’t answer or having a meaningful conversation with those who do. And the recruiter must “scrub the data” as well…in other words, they must remove numbers that are no longer active and make other changes as necessary to ensure that time isn’t wasted in the future.

Along the same lines, some agencies may require a certain amount of “talk time” per day. I’ve seen requirements range between 2 hours and 4 hours per day. The idea is that actually speaking with candidates is more important than just dialing numbers. Some agencies have a trade-off between the two. For example, they may require 100 calls per day or 3 hours of talk time.

The telephone is so important to agencies that many have purchased sophisticated phone software and hardware that allows them to track data and automate the dialing process. For example, the user may be able to target all the RNs listed as ICU in the company’s database. When the user runs the campaign, the software automatically dials the telephone numbers while the recruiter waits on the telephone listening to hold music. The software can detect voice mail and will play a pre-recorded voice message if the call goes to voice mail. When a live person answers the call, the software pops up a screen with the candidate’s information so the recruiter knows who they’re speaking with.

Phone KPI requirements ultimately result in three outcomes that tend to understandably annoy many travel nurses. First, these requirements and call systems make it very difficult and sometimes impossible to call nurses only at certain times. This is why travelers get calls at inopportune or undesired times.

Second, the requirements can make it difficult to get your preferred name correct. For example, if your legal name is Patricia and you prefer to be called Patty, the recruiter may have a difficult time deciphering this. The rapid pace required to hit these stats can make it difficult to check all the notes in the database before making the call or making the initial phone introduction.

Finally, the rapid pace required sometimes forces recruiters to just make calls before looking at the notes in the database or reviewing a resume. Making a call takes seconds and there’s a very significant chance that the call is routed to voice mail. So making the call first is sometimes required because is takes less time which helps the recruiter meet their call volume requirements.

Travel nurse submissions

The next step in the travel recruitment process is the submission process. There are two basic steps in this process. First, the recruiter must obtain a complete “submission profile” for the candidate. Second, they must obtain the candidate’s approval to be submitted for an assignment. Although, many travelers will be quick to point out that recruiters don’t always obtain their approval before submitting them…more on this below.

These two steps constitute two more KPIs that many agencies track to measure recruiter performance. First, many agencies track the number of completed submission profiles that recruiters achieve per week. A completed submission profile is typically comprised of an application and/or resume, a skills checklist, and two verified references.

A completed application may require that 100% of the information required by the agency’s client hospitals be present and accounted for. And hospitals often require a very detailed set of information including but not limited to various background questions, the last 7 years of work history, number of beds on the units and in the hospitals that the nurse has worked, and much more. Recruiters must often fill in the gaps when all the details aren’t provided by the candidate.

Sometimes, recruiters are responsible for contacting the candidate’s references. Other times, agencies delegate this task to someone else to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. In any case, verifying references often proves to be a very time-consuming task as they can be difficult to get a hold of.

When it comes to tracking completed submission profiles, agencies will typically establish a weekly quota. It may start out at 1 per week for brand new recruiters and work its way up to 5 or more for recruiters who have been manning the phones for a while.

The second step in the submission process is to submit the traveler to open assignments. Of course, this should also require that the recruiter get the traveler’s approval first. To do so, recruiters should spend time discussing the traveler’s desired locations and going over some sample travel nursing pay packages for various positions. The recruiter can then pitch various positions to the traveler and attempt to get thee traveler’s approval to be submitted.

When it comes to tracking submissions, agencies will typically establish a weekly quota. They may also categorize the submissions as “total” and “unique.” Each individual traveler submitted for an assignment would be considered a unique submission. And each individual submission would count toward the total. For example, if a recruiter submits one traveler for 5 different assignments, then they get one unique submission and 5 total submissions.

Newer recruiters may be held to a lower quota requirement than their experienced counterparts. However, it’s not uncommon for the quotas to be in the range of 5 unique submissions and 10 total submissions per week.

Of course, the question that all travelers want answered is, “Why would a recruiter submit me without my permission?” As a former recruiter who never did this, I can only guess as to why this happens. First, meeting quota goals is not easy and the pressure to do so may cause some to take this action. In fact, they may not even be counting on you getting the interview or finding out that you were submitted. The recruiter knows that submissions don’t necessarily result in interviews. So they roll the dice to get some stats toward their quota requirements.

Second, the recruiter may have thought they had the traveler’s permission while the traveler simply doesn’t see it that way. Many recruiters take a blanket approach to traveler permission. In this case, the recruiter might find out what the traveler is looking for, pitch a few assignments, and make an attempt to get the traveler’s approval to submit them for these and similar assignments. This approach often leads to confusion, especially for travelers.

Finally, recruiters may submit a profile to stay ahead of the competition. Some travel nursing jobs are highly competitive; they can get filled within the hour. So a recruiter might believe that they just don’t have time to contact the candidate first.

Interviews, Offers, and Signed Contracts

The next steps in the travel recruitment process are the interview, the offer, and the signed contract. As mentioned above, not every submission results in an interview. And there are a many variables pertaining to landing interviews that are outside a recruiter’s control. Despite this, many agencies maintain quotas for interviews.

Here again, agencies that maintain interview quotas typically maintain them on a weekly basis. For example, they might require a minimum of 2 interviews per week.

An agency might also track their recruiters’ submission to interview ratio. If they find that their interview to submission ratio is too low, then they might review the submission profiles that their recruiters are submitting to see if there are areas for improvement. Remember, recruiters are ultimately responsible for getting the profiles together and the more professional and thorough a profile is, the better chance it has for landing the interview. Of course, the agency may find that their recruiters are working with candidates who lack the desired qualifications for the jobs they’re being submitted for.

Offers are measured similarly. For example, agencies may require a minimum of 1 offer per week. And they may track the interview to offer ratio. If this ratio falls too low, the agency will make sure that recruiters are properly notifying and preparing their candidates for the interviews and submitting qualified candidates in the first place.

Once an offer is received, the recruiter’s primary objective is to get the candidate to accept the offer. I’ve heard that some agencies operate on “verbal agreements”. In my view, this is pure silliness. Most agencies rely on signed contracts. So the first thing the recruiter should do is draft a contract based on the compensation package they discussed with the traveler, email the contract, and call the traveler to request a review and either return the contract or let the recruiter know what needs to be added/changed.

Here again, agencies will measure their recruiters’ signed contracts or “contracts back.” Some agencies even measure “contracts out.” They will also typically track the ratio of signed contracts to offers. If the ratio falls too low, then the agency can try to determine why. Perhaps the recruiter is not qualifying their candidates’ interest in the assignments they’re being submitted for at the outset.

Contract Starts

The next step in the recruitment process is ensuring that the traveler starts the contract as expected. Every recruiter knows that the deal isn’t really done until the traveler is green-lighted by the facility and walks through the door on schedule. And there are many loose ends to tie off between the time the contract is signed and the start date.

During this time, the recruiter must ensure that the candidate is set up with pay roll and benefits if necessary, make sure the travel nurse’s housing accommodations are secured if necessary, make sure the travel arrangements are in place, and perhaps the biggest bear of all, make sure all the credentialing is in place and accepted by the facility.

Different agencies handle these steps in different ways. Some agencies have dedicated employees who handle these tasks. Others provide their recruiters with some level of assistance in handling these tasks. And at some agencies, the recruiter is responsible for the entire process.

Here again, agencies will measure their recruiters’ “starts”; the contracts that are actually started. It’s common for starts to be measured on a monthly basis. For example, the agency may require 4 starts per month, and they may or may not include contract extensions as starts. Or they might require a number of “net starts” per month, which is the number of contracts starting versus the number of contracts ending. Agencies want to make sure that their recruiters are growing their books of business.

Agencies may also measure the ratio of signed contracts to actual starts. Here again, if the ratio drops too low, then they can try to determine why. Perhaps their credentialing process is broken or the housing options they offer are unacceptable.

For the most part, this is how a travel nursing recruiter’s job performance is measured. That’s because these are the activities that lead to the results agencies require. Even at agencies that don’t measure these KPIs, they are still in play. Agencies know that good sourcing techniques lead to submissions. And for every submission, they’ll get a certain number of interviews, and then a certain number of offers, and then a certain number of signed contracts, and then a certain number of starts.

As every traveler knows, recruiters also provide an entire set of customer service related functions while the traveler is on contract with them. And agencies certainly consider service levels when evaluating recruiter performance. We’ll discuss that topic in a future blog post.

Excellent article! Makes me appreciate my recruiter(s) even more! Strangely, even though this outlines the difficult life of a recruiter, it makes me want to pursue a career as a recruiter! Thanks for your insight!

In 45 years using recruiters, I must say most have been excellent. Recently I worked with a few young and new recruiters who were calm, enthusiastic and respectful and I appreciate their work more and more. There have, however, in the past been a couple pushy and callous recruiters and they are the ones I do not decide to work with.

Thanks for the heads up. This explains some behaviors I have noted in some recruiters. Also makes me love my favorite recruiter more.

Very informative! Although I know quite about travel nursing, Kyle, you always come up with a new learning experience! Again, thanks for taking things more in-depth for travelers to understand, even us “oldies.”

Thank you so much, Epstein! Your comment made my day 🙂 I’m glad to hear the information is useful. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but your book and website, Highway Hypodermics, were amazing resources for me as a recruiter. It was required reading at Valley Healthcare Systems and should be required reading for all recruiters. Thanks again! Your feedback is very encouraging.

Thanks Kyle! Yeah, I knew about Valley’s rule, and a few other companies! I wish I had as much time to blog as you do! Great to network with one of the best bloggers! Can’t wait to see you in September at the Travelers Conference!

Thanks, Epstein! I’m looking forward to the conference and getting a chance to meet and chat with you…see you there!
