Aureus is fantastic for Cath Lab nurses. They have great facility relationships and my recruiter found me a high-paying position at a top cardiac center. The whole process from application to start date was smooth and my recruiter was available whenever I had questions.

Good agency with solid pay and benefits. My recruiter is responsive and helpful. I gave 4 stars because the job board is smaller than some larger agencies, but the positions they do have are quality placements with good facilities.
