FAQ

What is a Medical Staffing Firm?

A medical staffing firm helps medical practitioners find quality nursing jobs. Demand for healthcare services, including nursing jobs, has grown exponentially over recent years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand will continue to grow. This is due, in part, to millions of Americans now having health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, while the medical needs of Baby Boomers continue to increase. The healthcare field will continue to offer more and more nursing jobs, including advanced practice, and need healthcare providers to meet this demand.

What is an Advanced Practice Provider?

Advanced practice providers are key members of the health care team that have met advanced educational and clinical practice requirements. This type of healthcare provider offers a range of services including primary care, preventive care, mental health care, birthing and even anesthesia.

Medical staffing firms, like Ultimate Locum Tenens, can provide access to advanced jobs including:

  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Physician Assistants
  • Physicians

If you are interested in advanced practice jobs, seek the help of the experienced and caring staffers at Ultimate Locum Tenens.

The general hiring process involves:

  2. Search for Your Ultimate Fit – Once we have a good understanding of who you are and what you are looking for, your dedicated recruiter will locate the locum tenens opportunities that fit your needs. Sometimes we may not have a current assignment that is the right fit. If this happens, we will work to locate opportunities that match your parameters. We encourage you to be as open and flexible about the location and setting of your assignment as you can be to receive the most opportunities.
  3. Presentation to Client(s) – Once we find an opportunity that works for you, we will present you and your experience to the client(s). Upon their approval, we will then set up interviews between the client(s) and you.
  4. Make the Ultimate Fit – When both you and the client agree that this position is a good match, we will move forward with the formal agreements and contracts.

What is the Ambassador Program?

Aside from connecting you to outside employment, Ultimate Locum Tenens may also hire you as an employee, or Ambassador, through our innovative Ambassador Program&. As an Ambassador you will be a representative of our company, Core Values, and Purpose. We want “To make life better for the people we serve,” and are happy to offer you the chance to be part of that.

As an Ambassador you will also have access to industry leading health benefits and other exciting rewards. You will also be paid as an employee of Ultimate Locum Tenens, not as an independent contractor (for NP and PA positions).

Many staffing firms send physician assistants and nurse practitioners on assignment as independent contractors. At Ultimate Locum Tenens we hire our advanced practice practitioners as "Ambassadors," making them actual employees. Rather than worrying about the sometimes overwhelming problems of being an independent contractor, including withholdings and taxes, you are able to concentrate solely on treating patients as an Ambassador. When you choose Ultimate Locum Tenens over other staffing firms you will have access to our Ambassador Benefits, weekly pay through Ultimate Locum Tenens, and more.
