Description

There are a lot of travel nursing agencies.

Most of them can submit you to a job.

The difference is what happens after you click apply.

At Wayward Medical Staffing, you get one point of contact, straight answers, permission before submission, and real check ins that are not just disguised extension calls.

We do the boring stuff well.

We answer fast.

We tell the truth.

We get your permission before putting your name in front of a facility.

And when something gets weird on assignment, we pick up the phone.

We’re not a billion-dollar staffing machine with five departments and four handoffs before someone learns your name.

We’re a Mom and Pop shop who puts relationships first. We’re built for travelers who want to be treated like humans, not chart numbers.

That means we stay with you through the full assignment, help you navigate the messy parts, and start thinking about your next contract before this one ends.

Our rule is simple:

No one gets burned.

If you want an agency that communicates clearly, follows through, and actually sticks around after you start, apply with Wayward.

We’ll walk you through the details and help you decide if this assignment is the right fit.

About

Wayward Sounds...

Like a Travel Nursing Agency that zigged while everyone else zagged.

Most agencies fight over the same giant hospitals.

We chose the places where travelers are remembered, not rotated through.

Critical Access Hospitals are where nurses get autonomy, community, and stories worth telling.

Less factory-line healthcare. More human healthcare. That’s the road we chose.

Built for travelers who want:

Rural adventure
A Recruiter who actually picks up the phone
A career that feels meaningful

Atlanta, GA

About

A true Southern gem, Atlanta, Georgia, is a city rooted in the past but leading the way into the future. Atlanta is known for its beautiful skyline and many attractions, including the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca Cola and the CNN Center. Local restaurants like The Varsity and Mary Mac’s Tea Room showcase the city’s rich Southern cuisine, and visitors quickly notice that almost every street downtown has “peach” in the name. The cost of living is much lower than in many similar cities in the more crowded Northeast, but the quality of life is as good or better. Atlanta is also home to the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International, making air travel a breeze, and Atlantic Station, a great place to shop til you drop. There's literally something for everyone from historic homes and museums to sports teams like the Braves, Hawks, Falcons, Dream and United FC.
