Staff nurses, travel nurses, and per diem nurses can all end up in very different coverage situations, even within the same hospital system, and it's easy to assume you're covered when you're not.

Why coverage often looks different for nurses

  • Staff nurses often have access to employer coverage, though quality and cost vary by facility.
  • Travel and per diem nurses frequently work without any employer based benefits.
  • Long, demanding shifts make it easy to put off comparing coverage options.
  • Agency and contract work can mean gaps in coverage between assignments.

What we typically help with

  • Comparing an employer plan against outside marketplace or private options
  • Individual coverage for travel and per diem nurses without employer benefits
  • Critical illness or accident coverage as extra protection given the demands of the field
  • Short-term medical coverage during gaps between assignments

Whether you're staff, travel, or per diem, we'll help you understand what's actually covering you right now, and what your alternatives are.
