Benefits for Nurses and Other Health Care Professionals
A Nurse Staffing Agency offers a number of benefits for health care professionals like you seeking employment versus direct employment with a hospital or other health care provider including:
- Make a great deal more money:
- Average pay is about $10.00/hour more than for staff nurses.
- An agency nurse can work two 12 hour shifts and make as much as for a five day week in a hospital.
- Health care and other employee benefits if you are a full-time employee.
- Flexibility – many different shifts that can be picked up. When you work in a hospital, they make your schedule, what days and hours you work, with little or no input from you.
- With an agency, you can specify the days and hours you are available to work.
- We can match your schedule and skill set with a facility to meet the needs of both.
- Request to work full time or part time, one or two days a week, once a month, whatever fits your needs.
- As an employee of Assured Nursing, our paperless electronic staffing system (TSS) provides you with a number of valuable, time-saving benefits, including::
- Automatically recognizes credential / compliance expiration dates and will not allow us to schedule you if your credentials have expired.
- Gives you the ability to access the system via the internet or by cell phone to:
- Input your availability schedule
- Review your schedule
- Review and update your credential requirements, resume, educational experience, etc.
- Review their employee records
- In-House Training – if you have been away from the field for an extended period of time, skills may be somewhat out of date. We have an HR Educator on staff to help re-train you and get you back up to speed quickly, or to fine-tune existing skills.
We will hold training sessions for:
- IV proficiency
- Ventilators – vent technology has changed rapidly over the last few years; how to read them, how to care for patients on vents
- ACLS
- CPR
- PALS
- To ensure that our nurses feel comfortable in their working environment, we send you to each new facility one to four hours early. This gives you time to get to know the facility, paperwork, procedures, etc.
- We schedule orientation sessions with facilities that require them for nurses we determine will be be a good fit. This way, they are will be ready to fill positions when needed.
