Triage Staffing
107 nurses recommend working with Triage Staffing
Pros
1- Clear and organized onboarding and compliance process. Communication from the compliance team has been timely and structured, which helps reduce last-minute issues. 2- Transparent compensation structure, including breakdown of hourly pay, housing stipend, and meals/incidental allowance. 3- Weekly pay and straightforward timecard expectations make payroll predictable. 4- Benefits package is available, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with employer match, which is not always offered consistently across travel companies
Cons
1- Stipends (housing and per diem) may be prorated if shifts are missed, which can affect weekly income. This is fairly standard across the travel industry but still important to be aware of. 2- Benefits continuity depends on maintaining back-to-back assignments, and gaps longer than about 28 days can lead to loss of coverage. This is common among travel agencies but requires planning. 3- Some contract terms place financial responsibility on the traveler in certain situations (early termination, housing arrangements, etc.), which is typical but worth understanding upfront.
Recommends working with Triage Staffing
At Triage, we prefer to be real. Real about expectations—both ours and yours. Real about how a decision you make today could affect your tomorrows. Real about how compensation actually works. Real about how great—or grating—your next supervisor may be.
Being real allows everyone at Triage to be ready. Ready to serve you with real honesty. So if that gig near the ocean is really no day at the beach, or that third shift comes with a second-class rate, we tell you. So you can be ready, too.
We staff all five major divisions of acute care—nursing, lab, radiology, cardiopulmonary and rehab therapy, offering:
- Competitive, custom pay packages
- One point of contact for both travelers and facilities (per division)
- A reliable recruiter who's got your back throughout your entire assignment
- In-house compliance and accounting specialists
- A clinical liaison team available 24/7 to offer medical and professional support and career development
- A mentoring program that is run and managed by actual clinicians—yeah, you read that right
- And more (because of course there’s more)
Are we the biggest? No. Are we the best? That’s rather subjective, but we’re trying to be. Will we work like hell to get you as close to your idea of heaven as possible? Yes. Yes, we will.
