Contract Nurse Staffing FAQ
What is contract nurse staffing?
Contract nurse staffing is the placement of nurses in fixed-term positions — typically 8 to 26 weeks. Travel nursing is the most common form. Facilities use contract nurses for census surges, specialty coverage gaps, and leave backfill.
How do I source contract nurses without a staffing agency?
NurseSend gives you direct contact data for 1M+ nurses across all 50 states. Search by specialty and location, reach out about your contract opportunities, and build your own talent pipeline — no agency intermediary.
What specialties are available for contract nurse staffing?
All specialties: RNs, NPs, LPNs, CNAs, CRNAs, ICU nurses, ER nurses, OR nurses, L&D nurses, and more. NurseSend covers all nursing credentials so you can source for any contract role.
How much can I save by sourcing contract nurses directly?
Agency markup on contract nurses is typically 25–40% of the bill rate. On a 13-week travel RN contract, that's $10,000–$15,000 in agency fees per placement. With NurseSend, you source and place directly — saving that markup on every contract.
Can NurseSend help me find travel nurses specifically?
Yes. NurseSend includes nurses across all 50 states. Filter by specialty and source state to find nurses who may be interested in travel contracts to your facility's location.
