I learned about Health Specialists from a friend who had a great experience with them. I decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad I did. My recruiter was amazing. She listened to my preferences and goals and found me the perfect assignment in a top-rated facility in California. She was always there for me, answering my questions, helping me with the paperwork, and checking in on me regularly. She made me feel like I was part of a family, not just a number.

I wanted everything taken care of for me, and all I wanted to do was unpack my suitcase and that’s all I did. The housing is awesome. Everything is furnished for me, including dishes and towels. All I had to do was move in. They paid for my flight here, and are giving me a car allowance. I have free furnished housing, utilities, car allowance and on top of all of that, the pay is great. My recruiter is wonderful, very personable and seems to think of the little things that make my home away from home homier. And, even more important, I faxed my time slip Monday morning, and the deposit was there Thursday morning. No Problems!! Don’t know about you, but to me this is a Travel Nurse Heaven!
