Nomad Health

If I could give zero stars, I would. I took in assignment moved across the country to New York City paid for my three months of rent was supposed to start work today and they told me one day ago that my contract is canceled because they failed to submit my work history verification by the date requested by the facility. I am now stuck in a city with no money paid for rent and have no job. The lack of professionalism and communication has been outrageous. I have been traveling as a nurse for 10 years and never experienced anything like this. This company is absolutely horrible and would definitely not recommend working with them.

I’ve had a horrible experience, I drove from Florida to Massachusetts to start an assignment on 7/1/24. It’s now 7/11 I still haven’t started. I was told it was a delay with Quest drug screen. My first test I took in Florida was resulted on 7/9. I was told the specimen wasn’t human. The second test I took in Ny came back fine, the third I took yesterday. I’m not making any money, 1600 miles from home. Paying for air b and b food etc. And I still have to get back home. Depression and anxiety is through the roof. I want off this crazy ride.

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.

I've only worked with one other company, Atlas Medstaff, and they were awesome. Nomad is a great fit if you're competent, independent, and want to make more money. All of the travelers I work with will obviously compare salaries and I am consistently about $300-400 more per week than they are. There is a reason for that. Other companies like Aya heavily subsidize the health insurance and that money has to come from somewhere. Also, the recruiters skim some off the top. And you don't know how much. That seems a bit shady to me. So, if you're not dependent on health insurance, and you prefer a more transparent model with better pay, I think Nomad stands out as a clear winner. I still have recruiters that call me and offer contracts, but they are never as high as nomad. Maybe that will change in the future, but for now, Nomad is the clear winner.

It takes DAYS for them to even review your application, then days to ask for more information. Will not go out of their way to help you get a job. After 2 months of applying for multiple jobs that I'm well qualified for, a recruiter from another company got me 2 job interviews...same 2 jobs I originally asked Nomad to submit to. And the recruiter had better rates.

Is anyone having a hard time to get a job with nomad. Every time I apply I get a hard stop and can't finish an application. On the opposite end, the applications that I completed after less than 24hrs it says application closed??? Does anyone know what's that about? Are they putting up unreal or non existing jobs? I really hate this agency. No one answers the phone, is their phone number real? response at all

Presently it’s not one of my favorite agencies, as 2 of my contracts were cancelled in one year, due to them not having priority access. To me it makes no sense to book with them if that is the case. Onboarding/ credentialing was a breeze. I really have no other major issue.

I’ve been with this company for a year. It is a non recruiter, very transparent, hassle free agency. One of the best agencies I’ve ever worked for. However, they really need to make some drastic changes to their suspension policy. Other than that my experience with this company has been great.
