There is no one size fits all agency— nor should you want one. The secret to finding the mythical “best agency” comes down to what you want from the experience.
Healthcare travelers have a myriad of options when it comes to shopping for medical staffing agencies. The secret to finding the mythical best agency comes down to what you want from the experience. What is your ideal work environment? Where do you want to travel? How can an agency help you achieve your goals? There is no one size fits all agency— nor should you want one. Below are three reasons why travelers have chosen to go with Blu Med.
1. We’re attentive to our travelers
We work for you. Sometimes traveling within the medical industry can be isolating, and we never want our travelers to feel they are set up to fail. You’re never alone. We trust our people to care for people— because people should be at the heart of healthcare. One thing that frustrated our founders was that a high volume of travelers tended to mean that the vital personal touch of a recruiter went missing. By working with a small (but growing) team like ours, you also have access to a cohesive and supportive team, rather than coordinating with many people across several departments that may be siloed.
Getting called by the wrong name and forgetting your preferences quickly leads to losing a clear path towards accomplishing your goals. At the end of the day, that’s what we’re here to do. This includes respecting your time: no robocalls or spam emails. Blu Med offers real people handling your needs directly, 24/7. We want to help you grow professionally and personally.
“I have worked with a couple of different travel agencies, but my recruiter at Blu Med is by far the most caring and attentive. She cares about me, not just as another travel nurse, but as a person. She is great, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with this company!! I am so excited to continue to work with Blu MedStaff!”

2. We don’t want to be all things for all people
Travel nursing is not for everyone. This is good— because we don’t want to work with just anyone. Because we don’t want to blend into the crowd of our competitors, we also want to work with individuals who might not otherwise fit into the typical healthcare worker mold. If you’re taking the time to invest in us, we want to invest in you. Because we focus on each traveler individually, we can provide our specialized expertise and proactively tailor our services between assignments.
Our travelers will put their heads down to work hard and play harder from start to end of every assignment. Remember, we all got into this industry because we wanted rewarding jobs, autonomy, and adventure— so let’s have fun!
“I’ve never had anybody care so much about the outcome of their work. My recruiter has gone above and beyond to accommodate what I want out of a contract. No matter how many times I call her or how many questions I ask, she keeps a positive attitude and helps in any way she can. She has made this experience go so much smoother, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her guiding me on this journey!”

3. We encourage feedback
It shouldn’t be groundbreaking that we listen to our travelers and take their feedback, but you’d be surprised at the number of agencies that can ignore calls, emails, or general comments. The Blu Med team holds our travelers and our field partners to a high standard. We won’t send anyone—anywhere— that we wouldn’t place the care of our loved ones ourselves. This means facilities, housing, and teams alike.
We do our research but value transparency between the people we work with. If we can make anything about your assignment better, faster, or smoother— please tell us.
“Alexis is my recruiter, and truly, SHE IS THE BEST! She went above and beyond and kept in constant contact with me, letting me know each step in the process and what progress we had made toward securing a contract exactly where I wanted to go! She invited my feedback warmly. Alexis has been a pleasure to work with. She is professional yet witty and funny. And she secured the bag! Would 100% recommend Blu Medstaff and Alexis to any RN looking to work on a travel assignment.”
