Built by Travel Nurses, For Travel Nurses
Travel Nursing Direct was founded in 2015 by a team of former travel nurses who were frustrated with agencies that prioritized profits over people. We built the agency we wished had existed when we were on the road.
The Authority on Travel Nursing — and Your Biggest Advocate
We believe travel nursing is one of the most rewarding careers in healthcare — offering financial freedom, professional growth, and the chance to experience life across America. But navigating the industry alone is hard.
That's why we built Travel Nursing Direct: to be the most trusted, transparent, and nurse-centric staffing agency in the country. We're not just a job board — we're your career partner, your licensing guide, your housing advisor, and your salary negotiator.

Our Core Values
Nurse-First Philosophy
Every decision we make starts with one question: is this best for the nurse? We're advocates, not just agents.
Radical Transparency
We share bill rates, explain every line of your pay package, and never hide fees. You deserve to know exactly what you're earning.
Career Growth Focus
We think beyond the current assignment. Our recruiters help you build a travel career that advances your skills and financial goals.
Community & Support
Travel nursing can be isolating. We've built a community of thousands of nurses who support each other through every assignment.
