A move deserves a clear understanding of the role before you begin. Knowing the expectations and practical details gives you a firmer basis for your decision.

A nursing career develops across roles and stages of life. The perspective behind your next move should account for both.
Our nursing practice is guided by nurses, with a senior RN on our advisory board shaping its approach. The advice you receive reflects how nursing is practiced on the unit, from the pace of a shift to the demands of each specialty.
We consider your professional interests and personal commitments alongside what each care team requires. The roles you weigh suit both your work and your life, so the move you accept is one you can sustain.
Our career conversations begin before any specific opening is in view, so your goals are understood well ahead of time. When the right role appears, you can decide with a clear sense of what you want.
Our nursing practice covers the full range of commitment, from individual shifts to contracts and permanent roles. You can choose the commitment that fits your life today, and change it as your life changes.

Nurses describe the work they’ve found through us.
“Advantra Health has been a great place to work for. I love that I get to change facilities so often and find what works for me. It has made me grow as a RN. My team at Advantra Health has helped me through everything to finding an assignment, to housing, to keeping certifications up to date.”
“Even during my assignments they always send me a text or an email to ask if I need anything. I never felt alone during my travels.”
“Advantra Health is the best nursing agency ever! Worked with my recruiter and she is very personable and always goes out of her way to ensure you’re taken care of. She responds quickly to all your needs, fixes any errors, and is an ear when you need one. She has a big heart and is the main reason I chose this company as a travel nurse because she is the best recruiter out there.”
“I enjoy working as a per diem Registered Nurse for Advantra Health because I have complete flexibility in my schedule, and I am compensated appropriately as a professional. I would recommend working per diem for any nurse who wants to work when they can work, instead of being committed to a certain number of days a week, and who is covered by health insurance in some other capacity. The benefits of working per diem can be found in more time to pursue other interests, such as school for career advancement, raising a family, or day dreams.”
“Advantra Health has been fabulous. Their staff is timely, professional, courteous and attentive, and their pay, benefits and locations are the best. Thanks Advantra Health!”
“I just wanted to say you’re doing a fantastic job in keeping me updated with schedule changes and upcoming assignments. Keep up the good work. I love the consistency.”
“Responsive helpful listens and helps resolve any issues”

No. A multistate license opens roles in every compact state without a new license, so it widens what’s available to you. If you hold a single-state license, we’ll start with roles in that state.
Yes. LPN and CNA roles sit mainly in long-term care, home health and med-surg settings.
Yes. Many nurses mix ways of working over a year, and the same practice team works with you either way.
Most roles ask for recent experience in the specialty, often a year or more. Each job page lists what that facility requires.
It depends on the facility and your credentials. We talk timing through with you before anything is submitted.
