Overview

Stability Healthcare launched in San Diego in 2017 with a singular mission: offer travel nurses the highest possible pay through technology-driven efficiency and transparent bill rates. By keeping overhead low and using automation for administrative tasks, Stability passes savings directly to their travelers.

The agency has earned a reputation as the high-pay option in travel nursing. Their online platform shows real-time bill rates and allows nurses to see exactly how their pay package is calculated — a level of transparency that is rare in the industry. This approach has attracted pay-conscious travelers who want to maximize their earnings.

Stability pays more than any other agency I have worked with, period. The bill rate transparency is game-changing — I can see exactly what the hospital is paying and what the agency takes. My ICU contract through Stability pays $200 more per week than offers from larger agencies for the same facility.

If you care about pay, Stability is the answer. Their platform shows everything — bill rates, stipends, margins. No other agency is this transparent. My recruiter is responsive and the technology makes the process efficient. Best-paying contracts I have ever had.

Great pay and transparency, which is why I chose Stability. The downside is they have fewer positions than larger agencies, so you need to be flexible on location. But when they have a position in your specialty, the pay is almost always the highest you will find.
