If you would like me to refer you to my favorite recruiter send me a message via Instagram, Facebook, or email!
If you’d like to work with any of my recruiters, just put my name (Courtney Blakely) on your app as your referral & they’ll pair you with them (Erin at Host & Tina at Emerald)
Courtney is this referral opportunity still available?
Thank for the video Courtney! So helpful for travel nurses everywhere.
You’re an angel for making such an honest and informative video!
Random but your hair looks amazing! Lol. The information was great too but I couldn’t stop looking at that shine & definition 😩😍💙
Hey y’all! Please read the description box for all the deets! Host has been my highest paying traditional travel agency (48hrs/wk) BUT the government funded emergency deployments pay wayyyy more (given you work your life away- 72hrs/wk for it 😂). You just have to decide what works best for you & your schedule. Hope this helps!
Is the government funded only for nurses? What about Allied Health?
Thank you for this info!!! I'm sure this will help me on my journey!!!
Thank you for the info shared in this video. I have 8 years of experience and finally ready to do travel nursing. Hoping to start traveling early next year. I don't have an agency yet so I am glad i came across your video. If you have any more tips to share I would love to hear them all. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of the industry.
This video was extremely helpful! Thank you so much! I’m on my first travel assignment and I’m wishing I would’ve known about HOST! Incredible!
You’re so welcome! I hope you have a great assignment. And hey, you know now lol. I didn’t find about them until I was a year and 3 agencies in 😂
Been Traveling 10yrs. Ive been with the Gov.funded company you were, love it
Can’t beat that pay!
So funny too I was looking to change and found host on line... then came across your channel! I just subscribed!😊
It’s a sign lol
Going to apply to HOst in august 😁. I have a friend working with them now !
Just signed up with Emerald. This will be my first time doing something like this. I hear they are good for beginners. I’m not a nurse but an EEG tech…with just my kitten and I. Hopefully she can come with me lol - she is coming with Momma ANYWAY! They’ve just reached out to me today. I am currently filling out background checks, etc. - Ooh Lawd that was fast.
I look forward to a beautiful experience with beautiful challenges. Thank you for your video!!!!! 💚💚💚💚
Well, HOST here I come 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Lol I love them!
I need that info I am using Coast now. Ha e not heard a word
OMG IS my first time looking a video for this. And I want to apply for one just now. I am in Florinda and I was just applying to AYA as a joke but now I am going to wait until I contacted you 🥰🥰🥰
Wait let's talk about your hair. I love it!!
Girl, I need your recruiter! Awesome video. Thanks
Really loved working with Emerald, they were great! But Host sounds amazing! Thank you for the information. I’m seriously considering going back to traveling.
I liked them too. And now is a better time than ever 👀
Thank you for all the information ❤️
Of course!
I did travel assignments in Epidemiology with Krucial.
Thank you for valuable information.
It so funny, another nurse just mentioned emerald as her way. I love that. I don't even know who my recruiter is right now lol
Love it 💕 Lol I’m sure they know!
I am so excited you said this! I’m starting in May and chose Host and Aya to apply to, and I like my Aya recruiter but LOVE my Host recruiter. She’s attentive already and I haven’t even started! Thank you for your info, I feel like it a great sign that I’m doing the right thing because I am kind of terrified LOL but excited
Good luck, I just finished a assignment with Aya last Wednesday, absolutely amazing..... Literally had to get back on a plane Sunday for Krucial, I’m a experienced travel nurse and these are definitely good agencies. I’m going to look into Host as well.
Good luck boo hope it goes well 🤞
Does Aya and Host work with nurses from every state i.e. I live in Virginia but would like to travel to other states?
@@joulibrown9174 yes
Great info and so thankful I found you! I'm a respiratory therapist and never travel for job. Will you guide me to where and who should I contact to start the trave RT?
Health Providers Choice for the win💕💕
Hello Courtney, like 👍🏾 your video it was helpful for me.
So glad you found it helpful!
I’m in contact with a recruiter at Host now! It will be my first time doing travel! (Local travel first then hopefully work my way out!) thanks for the advice!
Do local assignment pay more? Since you don’t get stipends.
How was it?
I've heard good things about Emerald. I was with HRN, which was bought out by Accountable, and they suck. I was with Flex-Care. They were good. They were the number one ranked several years ago but is still good. I started with American Mobile (AMN). They sucked and were scammy. I know people who like them, and the benefit is that they have assignments everywhere, because they are the Walmart of travel nursing and people love their recruiters. My AMN recruiter was great until she completely lost her mind, screamed at me while crying at the prospect of me leaving.
Amn trash
Dang no love for genie healthcare. You guys definitely need to get a contract with me in the future.
Thank you so much😇
Just subscribed! I would like to go travelling with extensive critical care background thanks a lot for this video. Because too many recruiters too many agencies.
I specialize in Open Heart surgical ICU, telemetry unit but I have Canadian license.
Krucial has really really made a difference in my life. Changed it. 🥰🤑
Life changing FOR SURE!
I worked for Favorite years ago. Didn’t know they was Krucial Staffing
Awesome !
Hello Courtney, do you know of any agencies that work with RNs who are not the ideal canidates? I would like to travel as a RN case manager but because of health reasons I had to take a year off. I recently started back and I'm ready for a travel contract
Hi, do you have any suggestions for a nurse with only a year of experience? I don't want to be taken advantage of and I don't know where to start
Do you need a degree for anything because I’m looking for a traveling job and I don’t know what agency to go to or if I need experience I’m located in Kentucky
Traveling with Host next month 😍🥰
Love to see it 🙌🏾❤️
Can you give us information on how to study for prophecy exams?
These curls!!!
I’m tryna be better about wearing them this year lol
Your hair is amazing. Where do I find curls like yours?
Thank you! In this video I just wore a wash and go lol this is my actual hair & curl texture
did you hear anything about Maxim Healthcare?
can they accept no hospital experience, like company nurse...
I'm a new new nurse and a new ER nurse. Will they accept me? I was waiting until I hit my 1 year in October!
Favorite is low paying. Offering LPNs $28 an hour. Where are you guys getting high paying shifts?
The high rates were during COVID crises but they also go up with natural disasters like hurricanes or floods in the effected area. They’ve gone back down
Do these agencies take lpns as well
Are you still working with Host?
I would love to do this as a phlebotomist but not sure of they work with phlebotomist. Can we apply to some of these agencies?
Especially if you IV and EKG certified?
I’m unsure but their websites should say
Anyone travel with American mobil
I believe most agencies are not favorable at times.
I will share this with my kid nurses. Most agencies are terrible in our experience.
Oh I know lol I didn’t name those but I experienced a few
Hey Courtney, thank you for posting this video.
My girlfriend and I will be traveling next year and we are in the beginning stages of looking at the nitty gritty of the industry and researching different agencies. I will be a little over 1 year experience and she will be at 10, so I know my experience will limit us, but if you have any resources for us that you would find beneficial or other tips, we would love to hear from you. Congrats on all your success so far.
Congrats on taking the leap! Trust me, it may be hard finding your 1st assignment but after that it’s super easy. Also, the needs are going back up with the Covid numbers so you all may not even have an issue
Hey, Alex! Are you still looking to become a travel nurse? Please let me know.
Hope you look into genie healthcare as well😊
So you and your wife are travel nurses does that work?
Has anyone done travel nursing with children? Do they provide help with healthcare, daycare, or housing with more room?
I have a friend who did but her child was small so she didn’t bring her. She just utilized her support system and went back home as much as possible.
Your video was super helpful , do you mind setting me up with a recruiter, also how do you find housing before hand ?
Hey! I use Airbnb. I always search the cities I submit to! Also, if you apply to the companies I mentioned & just add my name as a reference they pair you with my recruiters (mentioned in the pin comment)
I would love to chat w/ you about all the benefits of Host Healthcare! You can reach me at csilva@hosthealthcare.com or by phone/text 858-687-5929. - Chris Thank you!
I would also like to know the name of your Host recruiter. I’m speaking to a girl now but she’s proving not to be motivated or helpful. I’m not getting timely responses. Thank you!
The only reviews I have heard about Host that aren’t unanimously bad are found online. Weird!
Hi Courtney the companies that you mentioned do they welcome travel RRT (respiratory therapist) too?
I believe so!
@@ByTheShepards thank you
Can someone answer this question for me please. Does your weekly pay just your salary? Or does that include your living expenses as well?
Your weekly pay includes a stipend for rent and food expenses
Wow! Thanks for the deeeee's. I love this video. I am new to the US and I have 3 years experience from my home country. I want to get into travel nursing but I do not know where to start and if I would be accepted without that travel nurse experience. Any help? Need a recruiter or something. Please. Thanks in advance.

is it ok to use you as reference for the job I'm applying to Host and it asked how I found out about job and I want to say you sent me...
Absolutely! That would actually be amazing lol bc it helps me get a bonus!
With Host did you take the prophecy test?
Yep! Typically an agency can use yours from other agencies as long as they’re in date.
Please has any one worked with cross country?
I have but it was in 2004. 🤷🏽♀️ My recruiter was excellent, but no longer works there. They had great pay and excellent housing/housing stipends back then…i don’t think they’re as great now
Greeting Courtney, I am looking for Travel Nurses to rent rooms in my clean, modern, tranquil home in Atlanta Metro...Any sugguestions to find them??
Post to Airbnb, travel nurse groups on fb, or furnished finders
Any input on Flexcare? They say they don’t negotiate contracts and the recruiter receives the same flat rate when you approve but it feels like the recruiter keeps sending low end contracts 🙄🙄
I’ve never heard of them but I would recommend cross checking rates with multiple agencies!
@@ByTheShepards Got it! Thanks a bunch!
Hi Courtney, pls I need a good paying recruiter. I am with Aya but my recruiter refuse to talk with me after several attempts
My recruiter with aya was a tad poor with communication too lol but the pinned comment tells you how to get in touch with my recruiters. If you want more details dm or email me!
Are there agencies that are for new grads?
Most agencies want you to have worked 1-2yrs because you are only trained 1-3 days on the unit as a traveler. Whereas at a staff job you build a foundation and are trained much longer.
Do you have any thoughts about Vivian?
❤️❤️❤️

There were tons of people offering those, I’d look on Instagram & Vivian.com
Aya for covid vaccine .
Host actually contacted me. I thought about you when I viewed your video months back. I am taking the assessment test. Nervous first time. Could you tell me your recruiter?
Awesome!! Best wishes! Em or email me!

May I get in touch with all your recruiters?
Sure! Check pinned comment
How does Host handle housing?
To my knowledge the same way as most other agencies. They offer company housing in which they place you themselves (similar to corporate furnished housing) or you can request your housing stipend instead and choose your own housing.
Do they have retirement?
Yes!
👍🏿
Hi can you connect me to your host recruiter please and thank you!
Can you send me the name of your recruiter for Host Healthcare.
