Pros

I've been working with Host Healthcare since September 2024. I've been doing travel nursing with a couple of different contracts and what makes Host so unique is that the recruiters really have your back and are there to support you! I instantly connected with Lauren when we first spoke. She's patient, sweet and really advocates for what YOU want! Shes readily available if you have any questions. Her calm demeanor and freindliness makes everyone feel like she's their best freind! Glad to have Lauren as a freind and a recruiter!
