Travel Nurses – 9 Questions to Ask Before Signing up with a Healthcare Job Staffing Agency
Travel nurses are in high demand all over the country. Due to that demand, there are also a number of staffing agencies that specialize in finding jobs for such nurses and supporting their career, personal and financial goals.
So how can one decide whether to sign up with a travel nurse staffing agency or not?
Here are nine important questions you should ask as a travel nurse before signing up with any staffing company:
1) Does the company provide free medical and dental health coverage from day one?
2) Does the company have in-house housing specialists to help you find a first quality home at your point of destination? Is the house free or does it come with a nominal and negligible rent?
3) Does the company pay 100% of your licensing fees?
4) Does the company provide a 401(k) plan for your retirement?
5) Does the company provide credentialing assistance and continuing education help?
6) Does the company pay for your VisaScreen and NCLEX-RN exams?
7) Does the company provide Professional Liability Insurance Coverage?
8) Does the company provide 24/7 individual employee and customer support? Is there a 24-hour phone number to call when you have a problem or a question?
9) Does the company pay weekly, with direct automatic deposit to your bank account?
A top-notch nurse staffing company would answer YES to all the above questions. Higher the number of positive responses you get to these 9 questions, happier you will be in your travel nurse career.
