Two brothers who give an enormous damn.
We're Justin and Kyle. Neither of us are nurses. It doesn’t take a nurse to
see that the way travel nurses are treated sucks.
Nursing is already hard enough. Travel nursing takes serious guts. You get the toughest assignments
in places you’ve never been. Which can be fun, but it’s also stressful. You’re
in your element but outside of your hometown. You can be a stranger on the
team.
If anyone deserves someone in their corner, it’s
you.
But that’s not how most agencies operate. Which is why travel nurses hate working with them. We got into this
business because we saw bucket-loads of nurses moving through the "churn
and burn" travel machinery. We absolutely hate that.
You'll do your best work when you have the placements you want and feel fully supported in
your work.
We pay our people well because we want them to
treat you well.
Our recruiters are amazing (we picked each of them
ourselves), but if you've got a problem too big for them, they can come
straight to us.
We
work like ten feet away.
The "Churners and Burners" promise you
the same benefits. They might as well copy/paste them from each other. We have
them too:
But we've worked hard for you to enjoy some one-of-a-kind
benefits
you'll not likely find anywhere else, because they benefit you more than they
benefit us:
