Supplemental Health Care has great pediatrics and school nursing positions that are hard to find elsewhere. My recruiter is knowledgeable and the benefits are solid. The credentialing process was a bit paperwork-heavy but thorough.

Good agency with lots of options. The pay is fair and the assignments are reliable. Being such a large company, the experience can feel a bit corporate, but they get the job done and I have always been paid on time.

SHC is the best for school nursing assignments. No other agency has as many school district contracts. The pay for school assignments is competitive and the schedule is amazing. If you are a nurse interested in education settings, SHC is the way to go.
