About Triage Staffing

At Triage, we prefer to be real . Real about expectations—both ours and yours. Real about how a decision you make today could affect your tomorrows. Real about how compensation actually works. Real about how great—or grating—your next supervisor may be.

Being real allows everyone at Triage to be ready . Ready to serve you with real honesty. So if that gig near the ocean is really no day at the beach, or that third shift comes with a second-class rate, we tell you. So you can be ready, too.

We staff all five major divisions of acute care—nursing, lab, radiology, cardiopulmonary and rehab therapy, offering:

• Competitive, custom pay packages
• One point of contact for both travelers and facilities (per division)
• A reliable recruiter who's got your back throughout your entire assignment
• In-house compliance and accounting specialists
• A clinical liaison team available 24/7 to offer medical and professional support and career development
• A mentoring program that is run and managed by actual clinicians—yeah, you read that right
• And more (because of course there’s more)

Are we the biggest? No. Are we the best? That’s rather subjective, but we’re trying to be. Will we work like hell to get you as close to your idea of heaven as possible? Yes. Yes, we will.
