Nurse Owned and Proud: How Our Roots Make a Difference in Your Career

When Nurses Direct was founded, it wasn’t just about creating another staffing agency – it was about changing the experience for nurses altogether. We’ve been in your shoes. We know the fatigue that follows a string of back-to-back shifts. We know what it feels like to walk into a new facility and be expected to hit the ground running with zero support. And we know the difference it makes when someone truly sees you – not just as a name on a schedule, but as a person with goals, grit, and a passion for care. 

That’s why Nurses Direct was built differently. As a nurse-owned agency, everything we do starts with one simple belief: nurses deserve better. Better communication. Better placements. Better respect. And better opportunities to grow without sacrificing balance. 

Built by Nurses, for Nurses 

What sets us apart isn’t just our ownership – it’s our lived experience. Every process we’ve created, every decision we make, is grounded in our deep understanding of what it’s like to do the work. That insider perspective fuels our commitment to providing support that actually makes a difference: from fair scheduling and transparent pay, to open communication and advocacy when you need it most. 

When you join Nurses Direct, you’re not stepping into a faceless system. You’re joining a team that gets it. A team that honors your time, your boundaries, and your expertise. 

The SureStaff Standard™: Excellence You Can Feel 

We created the SureStaff Standard™ to formalize the kind of thoughtful, respectful staffing process that nurses deserve. That means rigorous credentialing, yes – but it also means smart, intentional matching. We consider your clinical strengths, your personality, your goals, and your preferences – not just a list of qualifications.

Because when the fit is right, everything works better. The patient experience improves. Facility culture thrives. And you go into every shift with confidence, not uncertainty. 

A Place to Grow, Not Just a Place to Work 

We know nursing is more than a job – it’s a calling. But we also know that no one can pour from an empty cup. That’s why we focus on giving our nurses the flexibility to design a career that fits your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re looking for steady PRN work, short-term travel contracts, or a long-term fit in a new setting, we help you build a path that evolves with your personal and professional needs. 

We also believe in celebrating your wins, not just filling your schedule. From spotlighting outstanding performance to offering opportunities for continuing education and development, we’re here to champion your growth. 

Relationships Over Transactions

Unlike large national staffing firms, we don’t treat you like a number. At Nurses Direct, you’re part of a community – one that’s rooted in trust, respect, and connection. We take the time to build real relationships with our nurses and our facility partners, because we believe long-term success comes from understanding, not volume.

Why It Matters 

We’ve seen firsthand how burnout, poor placement, and lack of support can drive incredible nurses out of the profession. We’re here to change that. Because when nurses are respected, supported, and placed with purpose, they stay in the field. They thrive. And they change lives. 

Ready for Something Different? 

If you’re tired of being treated like just another shift to fill, come see what it means to work with a nurse-owned agency that puts your needs first. We’re proud of where we come from – and we’re even prouder of the community we’re building.
