Best Travel Nurse Agency

So, what is the best travel nurse agency?  Is it the one that pays the most?  Or is the best agency the one who has the most fantastic support staff that are just a phone call away? One thing is for sure.  The agencies share a number of common characteristics that keep travel nurses coming back for assignment after assignment.  Here is a list of the characteristics that many travelers feel make for a first class agency.

1. Direct deposit for all pay checks and supplemental payments.

2. A personal consultant who helps you pick your next assignment and helps smooth over the bumps when things get out of sync.

3. Cafeteria style medical benefits

4. Weekly paychecks or at least every two weeks.

5. 401K plan

6. Continuing Education benefits

7. First rate customer service for the traveler with someone available 24 hours a day.

8. Assignments all over the country. 

9. Paid Time Off or Vacation plan

10. Returns your calls FAST!

There probably is no one best travel nurse agency.  When I talk to other travel nurses about the best travel nurse agencies they all seem to have a favorite agency.  Each agency has strengths and weaknesses.  Small agencies tend to be more personal and have that family feel.  Larger agencies have more variety in the locations they can offer a nurse.
