Once your travel application is accepted, you will be assigned your own
personal recruiter—an experienced health care staffing expert with extensive
knowledge of all aspects of the travel nursing industry. Your recruiter will
encourage you to discuss your thoughts, feelings and career goals to understand
what’s most important to you. Then, both of you will start reviewing travel
nursing jobs to determine which positions best match your preferences.
|
|
With thousands of excellent travel nursing jobs
in leading hospitals across the country,
you are bound to find a position that’s a perfect fit. Once you’ve made your
selection, your recruiter will send your credentials to the facility and a
telephone interview will be scheduled.
|
|
In most cases, you will be interviewed by the facility’s hiring manager or the
nurse manager of the unit where you will be working. Your recruiter will help
you prepare for the interview, increasing the likelihood that you will be
accepted for the assignment. Be prepared to discuss your nursing experience in
detail and to give specific accounts of the kinds of units, patient populations
and equipment you’ve worked with in the past.
Remember, most facilities prefer travel nurses to have at least 18
months to two years of recent experience working in an
acute-care setting.
|
After your telephone interview, you and the facility will determine if you’re
the right fit for the job. There is no pressure or obligation for you to accept
the position. Your travel nursing career begins only if and when you decide to
accept an assignment.
Once you accept an offer, your recruiter will ensure that your move is as
effortless as possible. We will assign you a personal quality management
specialist to assist you with credentialing requirements, while our housing
department will arrange free, quality housing for you, close to your assignment
facility. We want to ensure that you arrive at your assignment feeling relaxed,
upbeat and ready to provide excellent patient care.

|
The moment has arrived—you’re on your way! Your Preferred Healthcare Staffing
recruiter will remain in contact with you throughout your assignment. It is
important to us that you thrive in your new environment and continue to enjoy
every aspect of your travel nursing career.
