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

Albuquerque, NM

About

As the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque offers something for just about everyone. Charmingly quirky and wonderfully diverse, this town by the Rio Grand is not only an ideal base for day trips to natural wonders like Chaco Canyon, but it also has a rich history and dramatic landscapes of its own. Gaze across the desert and see snow-capped Mount Taylor 100 miles in the distance. The striking confluence of mountain ranges, vast river bordered by cottonwood forest, flocks of sandhill cranes flying overhead and countless colorful hot-air balloons that often fill the morning skies have long-drawn creative types and adventurers. Albuquerque's many highlights include vibrant galleries, world-class museums, farmers' markets and a thriving microbrewery scene. The historic district dubbed Old Town Plaza spans 10 blocks with fabulous restaurants, cafes, shops and the historic San Felipe de Neri Church, constructed in 1793.
