DREAM NURSE TRAVEL JOINS THE CHAMBER
Dream Nurse Travel specializes in Central New York travel nursing. We partner with hospitals to place our nurses in their facilities. As health care professionals, our goal is to find the best nurses in the industry and give them great customer service so they are able to give excellent patient care. We do a “fit like a glove” analysis of the hospital’s needs as well as customized credentialing to find the best possible fit for the nurse and the facility. Our contract lengths are flexible and can range from daily (per diem) to long-term contracts of any length, we even offer temp-to-hire. We deliver 24 hour single point of contact customer service to both our hospitals and our nurses. For nurses, we offer full health benefits as well as high rates and housing stipends for long term contracts. Our on-line application process makes it easy to apply. For hospitals, our rates are low and we offer specials for long term contracts. Check us out at DreamNurseTravel.com or call us at 866-368-3708...discover the difference.
