Host Healthcare is the best agency I have worked with in 6 years of travel nursing. The benefits are amazing — I had health insurance from day one and my housing stipend covers my rent with room to spare. My recruiter is responsive and genuinely cares about finding the right fit.

Solid agency with great pay and benefits. My recruiter is good but sometimes takes a day to respond during busy periods. The assignments they have are quality facilities though, and the completion bonus is a nice incentive to finish strong.

I switched to Host from a larger agency and the difference in personal attention is noticeable. My recruiter already had my next assignment lined up before my current one ended. Pay is competitive and the benefits package is honestly better than my staff job.
