Local Long Term or Travelers

Frequently Asked Questions:

What can local long term staffing do for our facility?
If your units are consistently understaffed and you know your critical shifts and days to cover; a local Suwannee healthcare professional contracted for the timeframe YOU need them is your best answer. After they have been oriented to your procedures and documentation methods; our caregiver will be as effective as your full time staff. The advantages of continuity of care, and thorough charting will not only support your nursing team and keep compliance in line; it will enhance patient satisfaction and care. Due to their close proximity to your facility, their assignments can range from two weeks to as long as you need them. Flexibility on contractual commitment fits many scenarios better and gives you control over costs and occasionally having to send your own staff home rather than agency.

What can travel nurses do for our facility?
Typically a travel nurse is on a 13 week assignment and comes from over 50 miles away. They are not local and in that sense add to your abiltiy to fill your shortages and do not draw from the local labor pool. Also, a travel nurse is thoroughly oriented and screened before they begin patient care. Suwannee Medical Recruiters work diligently finding the best candidates for your travel orders.

Can we use both travel and local long term nurses?
Yes and many facilities do this. Their travel orders are for the "heavy census season" and in patient care areas that are hard to staff and show a consistent shortage for certain times of the year and shifts. The local long term assignments cover the shorter timeframe orders and areas that may be less predictable. Suwannee Medical specializes in flexibility and customization to fir your needs, so simply call us to get started!
