Travel Nursing: Understanding Changing Industry Dynamics

During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals depended on travel nurses to address critical staffing shortages by providing highly qualified health care professionals on-demand. AMN Healthcare has prioritized supporting hospitals by making sure they have the clinical staff they need to treat patients.

Addressing the long-term nurse shortage is the most appropriate way to ensure hospitals have the nurses they need to care for patients and to better control travel nurse staffing costs. Although there is no singular fix to the supply shortage in healthcare staffing, progress can be made if there is broad collaboration across the industry that focuses on specific initiatives.

In addition to aligning with clients and professional organizations on collaborative solutions, AMN has significantly increased investments to address clinician education, workforce diversity, the resiliency of clinicians, and clinician wellness programs.
