Overview

American Mobile Healthcare, part of the AMN Healthcare family, is one of the original travel nurse agencies in the United States. Founded in 1985 in San Diego, American Mobile pioneered many of the industry practices that travel nurses rely on today, from structured housing programs to standardized pay packages.

As a division of AMN Healthcare — the largest healthcare staffing company in the country — American Mobile benefits from exclusive contracts with major hospital systems, giving their nurses access to premium assignments at top facilities. Their scale means more choices in more locations than most competitors.

American Mobile offers a comprehensive benefits package, a well-established credentialing process, and a technology platform for job search and credential management.

American Mobile has great NICU positions at top hospitals. Being part of AMN gives them access to facilities that other agencies cannot staff. The pay is fair and benefits are good. My only note is that the recruiter ratio feels higher than smaller agencies.

Reliable agency with lots of OR positions. I have been traveling with American Mobile for a year and the assignments have been solid. The credentialing process is well-organized and the compliance team is helpful. Pay could be a touch higher but the benefits balance it out.

Found my dream ICU assignment through American Mobile at a top-ranked hospital in Boston. The exclusive contracts they have through AMN are the real advantage here. Housing was arranged quickly and the whole process was professional.
