Nursing Travelers…thank you for your participation; without it there wouldn't be a Top 10 ratings list. We hope these results will help you and other travelers decide which travel company to work with.

Requirements for making the Top 10

Since 2005 we've been compiling the results from nursing travelers' surveys about agencies they have worked with throughout the year. In order to be rated in the top 10 the following criteria must be met.
1. The agency was voluntarily rated by a nurse traveler who had worked with them in the last 3 months.
2. The agency must have one of the top 10 highest scores as of December 31, 2008.
3. The agency must be rated by at least 3 nursing travelers to qualify
4. The agency must have a website

Our hope at www.TravelNursingCentral.com is that in time, more and more companies will be looking at these results to set or change their standards of practice to achieve higher ratings from their nursing travelers.
