Housing Options

As you travel with Response 1 Medical Staffing, we do not want you to leave the comforts of home behind. We recognize how hard you work as a travel nurse and want you to feel comfortable in your home away from home. Response 1 Medical Staffing provides fully furnished housing supplied with linens and housewares in locations that are safe and convenient to your nursing jobs. We coordinate your furniture delivery and utilities, including basic cable, local phone, and internet access (if desired) around your schedule to make this transition as smooth as possible. Should you prefer to arrange your own housing we will pay you a monthly housing subsidy. Special requests can be accommodated through prior arrangements with our housing department. When you arrive at your destination, all you have to do is unpack, relax, and begin to learn your way around town.

Travel Options

Our travel options can include travel allowances, flights, and rental cars. If you would like to book your own flight, we would be happy to reimburse you or we can make the flight arrangements for you. With respect to rental cars, we work with a national rental car company and can facilitate that rental for you.
