When you are looking for the best travel nurse staffing company, you not only need an awesome cover letter and resume and to be ready for an interview, but it is important look and see what each company has to offer. What kind of benefits are the nursing agencies providing and what type of assignments do they have available are just a couple of questions.
Here are a few things that make travel nurse staffing agencies competitive and questions you should be asking them:
1. They usually will provide free housing. If they do not, then they should provide a cash subsidy for living arrangements while you are on assignment.
2. They should pay top salarie and even give generous sign on bonuses. As a travel nurse, staffing agencies need you to fill medical center deficiencies. To do this, you should receive top dollar for your services.
3. Health insurance: check out what the agencies will provide, but it should be free or very low cost and low deductible.
4. You should receive travel reimbursement as well. You may be going across state, or across the nations anywhere from 4 weeks to 18+ months….this costs money and the agencies should cover or subsidize these costs.
5. You should have a selection of assignments that fit your experience and background and you should also have a selection of areas to work in, say Colorado, California, or Texas.
6. And one last thing you need to make sure and ask about is how much individual attention you are given. If you have a problem who will you work with?
There are numerous places to apply with, and agencies want you to apply, but make sure you that you are signing with a reputable travel nurse staffing company that will provide you with the benefits that you are looking for.
And when you do apply, make sure you have a solid cover letter, resume, and are well versed for an interview. Although you may be picky about the place you are going to be employed by, travel nursing agencies are also going to be picky and choosy because they want to protect their reputation as well.
