Strike Questions?

Your compensation includes hourly pay for all hours worked, including overtime and double time as required by state law. A daily meal per diem is provided and paid out weekly. You will also be paid for any required online modules and orientation, with rates outlined in your contract. Payment methods vary by state, but most pay is issued via direct deposit or mailed check at the end of the event or after the first week if the assignment is indefinite. Reimbursements are issued after the event, once receipts are submitted.

In addition to pay, we provide airfare to and from the event, a single-occupancy hotel room for the duration, and optional transportation from the airport to the hotel and daily to and from the worksite.

In California, hourly pay is issued daily via direct deposit or mailed check, while all other pay is provided at the end of the event or after the first week if the assignment is indefinite. In all other states, all pay is distributed at the end of the event or first week, either by direct deposit or mailed check. Reimbursements are mailed after the event, depending on when receipts are submitted.

No, AMN covers the full cost of your flights. 

No, you must book your flight using the link provided to you by the AMN Strike Travel team.

If you are flying, you will receive a link to book your travel about 24–48 hours after you confirm your availability to support the full event and your ability to arrive on the scheduled travel date.

No, recruiters are not assigned to individual healthcare professionals for strike events. Instead, a strike recruitment team is available via hotline to assist with any questions or concerns. 

Please call our main line at 800-458-8973, Option 1 to speak to a recruiter.  You can also reach us via email at strike@amnhealthcare.com

Assignment details, including facility location and shift, will be provided at event check-in. 

The facility you will work at is not determined until the strike notice is received. You will be provided with your work schedule, including facility location and assigned shifts, at event check-in a few days before the event starts. 

Strike shifts can include day, night, and sometimes mid shifts, varying by worksite. Shifts may be 8, 10, or 12 hours long. You will receive your specific schedule at check-in, a few days before the event begins.

The red hand icon or ‘Travel HOLD’ status means that travel for the assignment has not been approved yet—for anyone. Once travel is officially approved, your status will update in the app to ‘CLEAR to TRAVEL’, letting you know that you are able to commence travel to your assignment.

While signing a contract is an important step, it does not guarantee placement. Due to the nature of strike events, circumstances can change quickly, and you may be removed from the event at any time before the start date. 

You may upload any available documents to AMN Passport. Please wait for your Credentialing Analyst to contact you before scheduling appointments for any missing documents. 

After signing up, watch for an email from your Credentialing Analyst (CA). They primarily communicate via email, as they are an offshore team, making written communication easier.

Unless instructed otherwise, you may travel with some outstanding requirements. Your credentialing analyst will inform you which items can be completed upon arrival at check-in. 

We recommend bringing copies of all licenses, certifications, vaccinations, and other compliance documents you have on hand (e.g., physical, TB test). 

Once your assignment begins, Clinical Managers (CM) are available 24/7 to assist you. Their contact information will be provided at the start of the event. All scheduling questions and call-outs (sick, late, etc.) should be directed to the CM.

If you check in with a complete file and the strike settles before your first shift (excluding orientation), you will receive a settlement fee or payment for any orientation time worked. This will be paid in the next regular pay cycle after the cancellation date. 

No. Please ensure notifications are enabled in the AMN Passport App—you’ll receive updates there first.

By downloading the AMN Passport App on your phone or by going to www.amnpassport.com. Keep in mind that based on each strike event’s skillset requirements, the strike jobs may or may not be reflected in your profile.

A strike recruiter can send you a link via email where you can opt back in to receive our communications.

You don’t need a strike recruiter to be submitted. Strike recruiters aren’t assigned to individual clinicians. You can submit yourself anytime via the AMN Passport App or www.amnpassport.com without sitting on hold for the hotline. Due to the high volume of submissions, recruiters do not contact clinicians automatically. 

No, there is not a priority list. Updating your job preferences on the AMN Passport app and turning on your notifications will ensure that you will be the first to know about new strike opportunities as they become available.
