I pretty much tell everyone how much I love working with Premier, I have so many good things to say. We've built profiles with 6 different recruiting companies and Premier has stood out as the best because of our experience with our recruiter, Heather. She is so knowledgeable about travel nursing after being in the business for over a decade, and she's always straightforward with us about which contracts we will or will not match with Twice we have needed a last minute contract and she got us in to a high paying contract within a week. Our favorite thing about travel nursing is living in places we never would have known about, and experiencing the lifestyle of each new city...

I have worked with Premier service since 2017, and I have been satisfied all these years. Good company to work for. Thank you for all your support.

I've been with Premier since 2018, and let me tell you, it has been an incredible journey! Premier has consistently provided me with an unparalleled sense of safety and security, always coming through in the most crucial moments. I can't express enough how utterly satisfied I am with their exceptional service. But that's not all! What truly sets Premier's travel team apart is their unwavering focus on my values. They understand me on a deeper level and cater to my preferences with unparalleled precision and let me tell you, their straightforward approach is an absolute game-changer...

I have been working as an RN with Premier for 22 years. In addition to per diem shifts, they offer very competitive travel assignment packages as well. The friendliness and support of the staff and management is second to none. I highly recommend Premier to any nurse looking for per diem or travel opportunities.

I have been with Premier since 2009, and as a CNA just out of my first job from being a new grad was excited. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work and so many different types of medical settings gaining experience along the way. In the past 15 years I worked everywhere from jail wards to NICU units and everything in between. Even random opportunities doing Health fairs for law firms and corporate organizations. Even got the chance to be a part of the medical staff at convention centers for things like the "ability expo" which gave me the opportunity to see new technology used in medical settings and for people with disabilities of all kinds. I've tried other registries over the years but always staid with premier...

Very professional and a family atmosphere that feels like it’s built upon trust and loyalty. This company always looks out for their employees best interest. I always feel protected wherever I work.

I joined Premier Nursing a few years ago after being referred by a fellow traveler. My experience has been amazing. I don’t have the words to describe how phenomenally I have been treated by Heather and her entire Team. Ghassan and Deidre are exceptional at helping me to stay on time with compliance. Life on the road has its challenges- but having such an incredible Team to help me with whatever whenever has made all the difference for me the last few years. I am truly blessed and grateful to be a part of the Premier Nursing family.

Premier Nursing Services is the best Nursing Agency. Always looking out for their Nurses. I recommend for all Nurses to work with Premier.

I’ve been with Premier Nursing Services since 2005, and they’ve always had my back. Great team, reliable shifts, and they truly care about their staff. Proud to be part of the Premier family!

Very professional agency and very considerate of its employees.

I love working with Premier Nursing Services (PNS). The staff are amazing and always available. Waleed, Dale Heather, and Nancy are great people. I have not had to work with any other company besides them. They help me to stay working. Never have to worry about being cancelled. Should a hospital not require a nurse due to low census, they always call with another assignment. I love how I can be preassigned to a hospital. Another great thing about PNS is that they listen and are proactive. IF something happens at a facility, they are on it. Whether it's switching you to another facility or unit. Lastly, I never had any issues when it comes to pay...

Of all the travel nursing companies I've worked with, Premier Nursing stands out for their seamless process and dedication to making assignments stress-free. My recruiter, Waleed, has been the best I've ever had - honest, straightforward, and attentive to my needs. I'm extremely happy with my experience with both the company and its staff.

Premier Nursing Services has been a faithful choice of mine over the past few years. Their in-house team is both pleasurable to work with and faithful in finding the right assignments that work best for me. I would recommend them to any nurse and clinical staff I meet.
