Why People Choose VHS
Jude and the VHS staff have been very professional and organized.
Allison had been the best and is so fast to respond to any questions or concerns. She makes sure to check on you every week and has been the best recruiter ever. In the 4 years I’ve been traveling, she has topped them all!
I just started travel nursing, and Allison has literally been there for me every step of the way! I got a contract SO quickly, even though my options were limited with my experience. Love my recruiter and this company!!
I was referred to Taylor by a fellow RN to inquire about local VA opportunities One of the first things I noticed about Taylor was how quick she responds to emails and text messages. We have been working together for almost 4 months & I have had nothing but positive experiences. She communicates well, checks in frequently, and listens to any issues or concerns you may have. Taylor truly cares about the nurses she works with and wants us to have a positive experience.
I’ve enjoyed working with VHS. My recruiter, Jude, always checks on me and I truly appreciate that. He takes the time to listen to any concerns I have, and is genuinely concerned that I have all the equipment and tools I need to be successful.
I partnered with VHS when I was looking to grow my telemedicine practice throughout the United States, and within weeks they had identified qualified candidates and had my roster fully staffed with excellent candidates that matched my business needs! Between their locums recruitment team’s quick action and ongoing weekly payroll services, VHS has taken so much off my plate so I can focus on my patients and growing my business.
I would recommend VHS to anyone. Specifically, my recruiter, Allison has been so fantastic! She is so quick to respond to any questions or need I may have. Anytime day or night. She advocates for her nurses and goes above and beyond for me daily. 10/10 would recommend! Working with VHS has been a game changer for me.
My recruiter, Allison, was absolutely amazing. She is always available to answer any questions I have and to follow up with how everything is going. I highly recommend her!
I was contacted by Taylor C. regarding a job opportunity. She was extremely helpful, answered all of my questions quickly, and made the whole process very easy!!!
Taylor has been the most amazing recruiter I could ever imagine. As a first time traveler, I was quite apprehensive about this new lifestyle, but this incredible lady held my hand every step of the way. It’s been an experience that I wouldn’t change for the world.
