My recruiter at TravelNurse Source has been incredible. She found me a high-paying ICU assignment in Portland within a week of our first call. The pay breakdown was completely transparent — no hidden fees or surprise deductions. This is my third contract through them and I have no plans to switch.

After a bad experience with another agency, I switched to TravelNurse Source and the difference is night and day. My recruiter answers texts within the hour, the pay is exactly what was promised, and the housing stipend is generous enough to find great apartments. Highly recommend for ER nurses.

Solid agency with good pay and benefits. My only complaint is that the credentialing process took a bit longer than expected on my first assignment, but once that was sorted out everything has been smooth. The completion bonus is a nice touch. Would give 5 stars if credentialing was faster.
