We Go the Extra Mile for Healthcare Traveler Care

How Almost Heaven Staffing supports nurses beyond placement — before, during, and after every assignment.

Travel nursing can change your life — but it can also feel like a lot: new hospitals, new policies, new cities, and the pressure to hit the ground running. At Almost Heaven Staffing, we believe our job isn’t finished when you sign a contract. We go the extra mile to support you before, during, and after every assignment — because you’re not just a “traveler” to us. You’re a professional, a person, and part of our community.

Before You Accept: We Match More Than a Resume

Anyone can submit you to a facility. What matters is whether the job is a good fit for your skills, goals, and lifestyle. We take time to learn what kind of unit you thrive in, what schedule works for your life, and what “support” looks like for you.

That means you get clear expectations — not surprises. We’ll talk through unit type, patient ratios (when available), shift patterns, floating policies, and anything else you’d want to know before you commit.

  • Honest job details and expectations
  • Clear pay breakdowns and transparency
  • Contract review support (so you know what you’re signing)
  • Fast communication — no ghosting, no guessing

During the Assignment: You’re Never On Your Own

Some agencies disappear after day one. That’s not how we operate.

If something feels off — schedule issues, onboarding confusion, housing stress, or unit concerns — you shouldn’t have to fight through it alone. We stay involved and reachable because real support means being present when things get real.

  • Check-ins that actually happen
  • Help navigating facility issues professionally
  • Quick answers when you need them
  • A team that treats you like a priority (not a number)

Pay, Benefits, and Peace of Mind

Travel pay can be confusing — taxable, stipends, reimbursements, and compliance requirements. We keep it simple and transparent so you can focus on nursing, not spreadsheets.

Our goal is for you to understand exactly what you’re earning, what you’re eligible for, and what to do if something doesn’t look right.

  • Clear weekly pay breakdowns
  • Benefit guidance and enrollment help
  • Support with compliance/document requirements
  • Problem-solving if payroll or timekeeping issues come up

After the Assignment: We Help You Build Momentum

The end of a contract shouldn’t feel like falling off a cliff. We help you plan the next move early — whether that’s extending, switching specialties, changing locations, or taking time off.

We also love hearing what worked and what didn’t — because your feedback helps us find better fits for you going forward.

  • Extension strategy (when it’s worth it)
  • Next assignment planning before your end date
  • Career growth support (unit types, specialties, readiness)
  • A long-term relationship — not a one-time transaction

What “Extra Mile” Really Means to Us

It’s easy to say you care. It’s different to prove it through consistency — the calls returned, the details handled, the problems solved, and the respect shown.

At Almost Heaven Staffing, we’re building an agency that travelers can trust — because you’re doing hard work in high-stakes environments. You deserve a team that has your back the whole way.
