Where to Find Travel Nurses?
Hi everyone! I’ve recently taken on a new role as a Travel Nurse Recruiter, and I’m looking for some advice on effective ways to source Travel RNs. Right now, I’m utilizing LinkedIn and my company’s internal ATS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations on your new role as a Travel Nurse Recruiter! Sourcing travel nurses can be a rewarding experience. Here are some additional strategies you might find helpful:
Job Boards Specific to Healthcare: Websites like Indeed, Glassdoor, and specialized nursing job boards like NurseFly, HealthCareers, and Nurse.com can be great places to post openings and find candidates.
Social Media Groups: Beyond LinkedIn, consider joining Facebook groups or forums dedicated to travel nursing. Platforms like Reddit also have communities focused on nursing, where you can engage with potential candidates.
Networking: Attend nursing conferences, job fairs, and other healthcare-related events. This is a great way to meet nurses face-to-face and build relationships.
Referrals: Encourage your current travel nurses to refer their friends. Offering referral bonuses can incentivize them to spread the word.
Local Nursing Schools: Build relationships with nursing schools and universities. Many graduates are looking for flexible opportunities and may be interested in travel nursing.
Nursing Associations: Partner with organizations like the American Nurses Association (ANA) or specialty nursing organizations. They often have job boards and can help you connect with potential candidates.
Online Forums and Blogs: Engage with travel nursing blogs and forums where nurses share experiences and job opportunities. Being an active participant can help you establish your presence and attract candidates.
Email Campaigns: Create targeted email campaigns for registered nurses who might be interested in travel nursing. Personalize your messages to address their desires and concerns.
Follow-Up: Keep a database of past applicants and stay in touch with them. Following up with warm leads can yield positive results.
Remember to highlight the benefits of travel nursing and what sets your opportunities apart to attract the best candidates. Good luck!
