TNAA is the best agency I have ever worked with. My recruiter is incredible — she knows my preferences, checks in regularly, and always negotiates the best pay. The company truly cares about nurses. The appreciation events and traveler community are the icing on the cake.

Switched to TNAA after years with a large agency and I am never looking back. The personal attention from my recruiter is unmatched. Pay is transparent and competitive. TNAA has a way of making you feel valued as a nurse, not just a number.

TNAA is a top-tier agency. My recruiter is amazing and the pay is always fair. I gave 4 stars only because there have been a couple of times where a position I wanted was filled before my application went through, but that is more of a market issue than a TNAA issue.
