Nomad: Travel Healthcare Jobs 4+

User friendly app! You can do everything you need for Nomad with the app. This is the perfect app and very convenient for a traveling nurse who’s always on “the go.” Nomad is an amazing traveling company. I’ve only traveled with them but am active with other agencies. Nomad makes you in control and doesn’t constantly text and call like other companies. They are transparent with their rates which is nice compared to other companies. The app allows me to apply with 1 click and upload required documentation easily!!

I’ve worked across the country as a traveler for many years with many different staffing agencies. I know the business and what to expect. Nomad Healthcare has an interesting approach to staffing but my experience working with them as a traveler leaves a lot to be desired. Originally, their “hands off” website and way you can apply for jobs seemed neat and efficient. What I came to realize is that travelers need the human to human relationships developed with a real recruiter. It’s that simple. As travelers, we need to chat with a real human who is actively looking for a job that fits our needs. The A.I. approach Nomad Uses seems empty and hollow. You’ll apply for jobs and suddenly your job will be closed by a Nomad Navigator without warning. Additionally a lot of information about the job is incorrect. I found myself personally reaching out the HR department of the job I applied for with many times the facility not even needing a traveler! Crazy!
Anyway, thank you for reading my review about at real world experience with Nomad Healthcare.

Nomad seems like a good resource for travel nurses at first glance but is very inconsistent with its practices. I experienced multiple requests for the same information- which I had provided multiple times -which was very annoying and had the effect of delaying my application for multiple jobs. In addition, I don’t think they update their job listings to be current because they never take filled jobs down, at least nowhere near in a timely fashion. Their reference requirements are either unrealistic or confusing because they asked for 3 references, 2 of which had to be above a charge. However, when I provided 1 charge, 1 manager and 1 house supervisor apparently it wasn’t enough! I would suggest that you not rely on Nomad as your main resource until they fix some of their inherent issues otherwise you will find yourself yelling at their redundant emails. I’m sure some people have had success through them without so many hurdles but I get the feeling they are the exception to the rule and not the norm.
