About

Medical Solutions offers jobs and top-notch customer service to Travel Nurses ranging from staff RN to RN management, LPN, Tech, OT, CNA, RT, Tech & PT. ‍Their jobs are located throughout all 50 states. They are the fourth-largest travel nurse staffing company in the nation, with approximately 300 full-time internal employees between their four locations (Omaha, San Diego, Cincinnati, and Tupelo).  All offices are privately held.‍Medical Solutions’ company culture is all about treating people well and celebrating their individual talents and successes. This spirit extends through their Career Consultants (their name for “Recruiters”) to their Travelers, who they also consider a part of their team. Ultimately this positive attitude extends into the hospital.  Happy nurses makes for great patient care.  They don’t just staff nurses.  Medical Solutions Career Consultants really help their nurses build their careers and achieve their personal goals.‍Their Career Consultants work to be both professional and personal with their Travelers, and their work isn’t done when a nurse is placed. Career Consultants check in regularly to make sure all is going well and are there throughout an assignment to provide any support a Traveler may need. And because they have such extraordinary Travelers, they also love to tell Traveler stories on their blog.‍Medical Solutions has five internal RNs who act as Clinical Nurse Liaisons. They have a 24-hour on call emergency line which can easily connect to one of them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Quality assurance is also provided through being Joint Commission certified and a NATHO member. Medical Solutions was one of the first Joint Commission-certified companies, and their CEO, Craig Meier, sits on the NATHO board where he serves as President for 2017.‍Initially, their Career Consultants spend a lot of time getting to know the person up front during the qualifying process. They ask a lot of questions to make sure it is going to be a good match personality-wise as well as a fit for what the Traveler is looking for in a company. They also have managers who call their Travelers within the first 1-2 weeks of their assignments to check in and ask for feedback on how the recruiter is doing, and they do the NPS surveys to gauge customer satisfaction and identify any areas of improvement. Overall, they work hard to encourage an open forum so Travelers feel comfortable addressing any concerns with Career Consultants, but if they are still not entirely comfortable addressing the issues directly with their Career Consultant, they will always have other means to do so.‍Medical Solutions offers day one United Healthcare coverage, and starting in 2013 they drastically lowered insurance costs for their Travelers!
