Best Travel Nurse Agency 2023
Choosing a travel nurse agency can feel overwhelming. You want fair pay, honest answers, and a recruiter who actually listens. For the fourth year in a row, Verywell Health named FlexCare Medical Staffing the agency with the Best Track Record, and thousands of nurses agree.
Why the “Best Track Record” award matters
Verywell Health’s editorial team reviews safety history, pay transparency, and nurse feedback before handing out its annual honors. FlexCare topped the list again in 2023 thanks to:
- Over 50 industry awards collected since 2011
- 1,700+ verified reviews on BluePipes, averaging 4.9 / 5
- Consistent gold or platinum rankings on Travel Nursing Central and Highway Hypodermics
These third-party scores show real nurses trust FlexCare year after year.
“FlexCare… exceeds expectations and fulfills its promises to traveling nurses.” — Verywell Health, Best Travel Nursing Agencies 2023
