“The Nurse Staffing Agency Built by Nurses For Nurses”

Tell us a little bit about the history of Nurses First Solutions. What should the general public and the healthcare community know?

The hatching of the Nurses First Solutions happened over brunch between our founders, Richard and Alvin. Richard had just gotten off his latest travel assignment as an ER RN. Richard confided in his friend about the lack of relationships between recruiter and nurses in the industry and how many of the agencies then had no actual knowledge of what went on during a nursing shift. When they had uncovered what was truly missing in the business industry, they knew they had caught onto something great and had to act!

It’s not just a career, it’s a calling.

Please describe the leadership team, their goals, and the overall culture over at Nurses First Solutions?

Our owners and founders, Richard, Alvin, and Ronnie, all want to improve the nursing industry first- starting with our small agency where the nurses are put first- before anything else.

As our Clinical Director of Operations, Rich, oversees day to day activities to make sure that our team and the nurses we work with uphold our vision of growth, transparency, and innovation. Every leadership member of NFS was chosen because they truly embodied all that NFS is and wants to be.

Who should be utilizing Nurses First Solutions? What specialties, positions, jobs, etc., do you specialize in?

While we specialize in the placement of Registered Nurses we also place other healthcare professionals such as Medical Assistants, CNAs, Surg Techs, etc. We have jobs ranging from Home Health and Clinics to Hospitals with over 1,700 beds throughout the US.

How is Nurses First Solutions unique in the healthcare space? Why should clinicians choose to work with you over someone else?

When NFS was established we were one of the only agencies to offer health benefits, 401k, and PTO. Now there are quite a few competitors offering similar packages, however, no other agency was built by nurses and has a clinical director available 7 days a week. We also like to think our team itself makes us unique, we are all determined to help each and every clinician on a personal level to help them achieve their goals. No one is a number here, and every person’s dream matter.

What are the goals for Nurses First Solutions in 2022-2023? How are you improving for clinicians and for your internal team?

We want GROWTH!

We want nurses to know they don’t have to choose a huge travel agency just because they are well known, because bigger isn’t always better. One way we are trying to get our name out to nurses is through our social media. While many of our posts are fun photos from nurse travel submissions and humorous reels- we also discuss some of the hardships of nursing and the struggles of traveling which many agencies don’t want to talk about or don’t know about because they don’t have that experience like we do.

We also brought ourselves to mobile devices! We launched an app so you can get your application done faster & land the job you want as soon as it comes available. Internally, we’ve added more Junior Recruiters to assist nurses with 24/7 communications and have also been working on finding new partners in locations most requested by the healthcare professionals we work with. Not to mention partnering with platforms that put us in front of nurses such as Wanderly!

Please tell us about any special offers or programs Nurses First Solutions offers. What makes you stand out when it comes to benefits?

Nurses First Solutions takes pride in the following benefits:

  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Insurance Benefits Offered
  • 3% Matching 401K
  • Hourly Taxable Rate
  • Tax Free Housing Stipend
  • Meals Stipend
  • Tax Free Travel Allowance
  • Sign-on Bonuses
  • Super Bonus Referral Program

NFS  has an excellent referral program, we are the only Nurse Travel Staffing in the industry that pays you a residual referral bonus that doesn’t stop. You do something one time and get paid over and over again.

How can Wanderly be a partner to Nurses First Solutions within your daily operations and long-term industry goals?

Nurses have a hard time finding us when the industry is so saturated. Therefore, instead of trying to be one of five companies reaching out to a clinician in a day, we are putting ourselves in front of them with Wanderly. Nurses can see us & what we offer without the noise of other agencies. Nurses can request pay packages for exactly what they want. We want candidates who are committed to working and see a future with us as much as we see one with them. Wanderly will be a part of this success.

Why are the traveling clinicians important in the day to day at Nurses First Solutions?

Travel clinicians are essential to our day to day. They are our whole business, without them we are not Nurses First Solutions. Matching clinicians to jobs that match their aspiration is our only objective. We get such joy out of the calls and pictures we receive from nurses we’ve helped. That is why they are as much a part of our lives as we are in theirs.
