What it looks like when it works
Summer school nurse filled over a weekend
A resignation left the district short a 1:1 nurse on a Friday. Leaving the student without a nurse for classes come Monday. Gig Healthcare filled that position, and the student never missed a day of school.

Number of schools without a full time registered nurse nationwide.

Gig is an excellent agency to work with. They are responsive, friendly and fair. Rates are strong and they have access to some quality hospitals for travel nurses.

I was blessed of God by finding and connecting with Jillian at Gig Healthcare. Over the course of my career, I have worked with a few recruiters that specialize in Positions for Social Workers. Jillian is wonderful to work for and with. As my direct supervisor with Gig and my liaison for all things related, Jillian is amazing. Completely professional, very supportive no matter what the situation. As a matter of fact, I have had the pleasure of interacting with Brittany, and Myranda as well. It is not possible to mention everything that is positive about this company. I could not recommend Jillian or the company highly enough. You will not be disappointed working with and through Gig Healthcare.

Gig Healthcare is a great company to use! I did not secure a contract with this company because i had left bedside for a few months! However the recruiter Michael or Mike was the best recruiter I have ever worked with. Fast to respond, quick to get submitted, no games were played. Hoping to use them in the future but for now just giving Kudos where Kudos is deserved!
Thanh N.
I met Michael Campise, the best recruiter at Gig Healthcare, I've ever had in my 10 years as a travel ER RN! He made the transition smooth from start to finish in getting the contract. He went above and beyond. And the compliance team is awesome as well! What an incredible experience Ive had with Michael and the Gig Healthcare team! Thank you for all Gig Healthcare!!!
