Meet Jen Barrett: A Super User and Travel Physical Therapist
Travel healthcare is all about dedication, flexibility, and adventure—and Physical Therapist Jen Barrett perfectly embodies these values. She’s built an amazing career as a travel healthcare provider and is an inspiring figure in the field. Jen’s been part of the AMN family since 2022, after also working with the company from 2015 to 2017. What’s the secret to her success? A love for adventure and a passion for helping patients.
“I was working a perm job in Birmingham, had been there for five years, and just got the ‘itch’ to get back into traveling,” Jen shares. With no ties holding her to one place, she turned to travel healthcare and has never looked back.
From Beginner to Super User
AMN Passport has become Jen's go-to resource for managing assignments, from credentialing to exploring job opportunities.
One of her top features is the credential-upload function. “It’s so much easier than sending a million emails,” she explains. “I can always go back and see what I’ve already submitted versus what I still need to send without hassling the credentialing supervisor.”
When it comes to job hunting, Jen leans on her recruiter, Kimberly, to guide the way, but acknowledges the app's benefits for exploration. “I love being able to browse all the jobs,” she says. “Even for settings I wouldn’t normally be interested in, it’s great seeing what’s out there.”
Jen’s favorite feature? Viewing her paystub in the app each week.

While she hasn’t yet explored every feature, such as auto-submission or saved searches, Jen acknowledges the potential these tools offer for streamlining her workflow. Her favorite element of the app is the way it minimizes back-and-forth communication. “It just makes everything easier. You don’t have to play tag with your recruiter or credentialing team to figure out what you need.”
