Pros Exceptional recruiter support: Derek is highly responsive, transparent, and genuinely invested in his nurses, taking time to understand both career goals and personal preferences to match the right assignments. Smooth communication: He keeps the process organized and stress-free by coordinating interviews, providing timely updates, and making sure all details are clearly explained.

Cons Variable agency policies: Like many travel nurse agencies, pay packages, benefits, and onboarding timelines can vary by assignment, which can sometimes create confusion without careful review. Limited long-term security: Contract-based work may lead to unexpected changes or early contract endings if facility needs shift, so it helps to stay flexible and in close contact with the recruiter.

Overall impression Working through Jackson Nurse Professionals has been a positive experience, especially with recruiter Derek Mastin guiding the process.
