The process is simple. When you work with one of our recruiters, they will help you start your travel profile.

Incidentals include expenses for transportation fees, parking costs and for other incidental expenses such as uniform, laundry, phone, Wi-Fi charges, and tips when an employee travels for business. More information can be found on the GSA website.

Once your profile is complete, you and your recruiter will discuss your expectations, availability, and your desired destination. You will have the freedom to choose what will work best for you.

Once you have interviewed and both you and the facility decide to move forward, it typically takes one to six weeks. Some travelers start their first assignment a week after submitting their application, while others plan their assignments several months down the road. How quickly you can start depends on whether your documentation is in order and if your license is current for the state where you will be practicing.

After your assignment is complete, you have many options. Many facilities will give you the option of extending your current assignment. We typically begin looking for new assignments for you about 30 days from the end of your current assignment. If you prefer, you can travel to a new assignment, or even return home and travel at a later date.

It’s important for healthcare professionals to have a file of up-to-date documents and forms. There are several forms that are required to send to a travel agency upon being placed.

• Copies of license/certification for every state you are licensed in.
• Front and back copies of your certification cards (BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, etc.).
• Copies of your Social Security card and driver’s license. Be sure to copy the backside of your driver’s license if you have any change of address listed there.
• Resume-up to date, with most recent experience and skills.
• Letters of reference and previous evaluations.
• Vaccination records- rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, measles, mumps and an annual influenza vaccine or titer test showing immunity.
• Annual physician statement from your doctor.
• Annual TB test—within the last year

Having an electronic version of these documents is often easier than paper documents because they can be quickly e-mailed to your recruiter.

If you have to call off from your scheduled shift, please call (989) 607-9329.  All calls are  forwarded after business hours and our on call staff can assist you.

It’s crucial to adhere to this protocol so that communication is seamless and efficient.
