Atlas All Access

Trust your recruiter and your agency. If they've always been there for you, listen to them over the internet noise.

We love the Internet! But we also know that while eternal vigilance is the price of freedom (attributed to Thomas Jefferson), replying to a contentious comment thread with a gif of Darth Vader screaming "Noooo" is the price of dealing with internet trolls.

Don't trust everything you read online.

We've seen waves and tumultuous storms like this in the industry before. And this, too, shall pass. It's just obnoxious while you're on the boat rocking away in the storm — we get it.

Tune in to check out some unfiltered industry insights in this episode of "Atlas All Access". How do you filter out internet trolls? How do you win an internet argument? And what can you do to weather the storm now that jobs are back?

Go back to the people and the agency that you trust. You should be able to trust them enough to take something to them you have seen online, and simply ask them, "Is this legit?"

They would much rather help you navigate those waters than drift off course because of a persistent troll.

We've decided to have our entire staff remain work-from-home through all of 2020. What does this mean for you?

This wasn't an easy decision, but it's the right thing to do.

We are incredibly focused on being the support structure to our traveling healthcare professionals. We are here working for you so that you can focus on your patients, on our loved ones, on getting us all through this.

Early on during "The-Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named" (that's 2020), we were one of the first travel nurse agencies to make the decision to send our team home to work fully remote.

Now we are committing even further to that effort. Our team will work-from-home throughout the rest of the year. Some of us haven't stepped foot in the office since early March! (It's been a weird year.)

It's important for us to take care of our team, and that includes our travelers along with our in-house staff. We want to be part of the solution. And if we are pushing to open our office HQ too soon, we run the risk of putting people in danger of contracting Covid-19 or taking up valuable beds that you need.

This is why our team will continue to work from home for you.

We're here, working for you. We just might be doing it in our pajamas with an ice-cold IPA next to us.

What happens when you are a travel healthcare professional and your company disappears? Or goes through a merger? Acquisition? Or any number of business challenges. Is your job safe? Will you even get paid this week? What happens next? These are scary questions for a nurse about to start their shift, potentially working an entire weekend for free. Thankfully, in this episode, we talk about when the stars align and everything works out. Join us as we revisit the Atlas MedStaff asset purchase of Meridian Staffing, and find out what that process looks like from the inside: from a nurse's perspective living through every moment, and from a recruiter's side where they found new opportunities. One thing is for sure, the life of a travel nurse is never boring! Get to know Travel Nurse Recruiter Connor Velvin: 🌐 https://tinyurl.com/skstb8q ________________________ Previous Meridian episodes Mergers, buyouts, and acquisitions are pretty common in the travel healthcare staffing industry, but that doesn't make them easier if you are a traveler or an employee of a company going through challenging times. When Meridian Medical Staffing was going through a tough time, Atlas MedStaff stepped up to ensure those travelers were paid and taken care of. 👉 https://youtu.be/DPn33LhPskM ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

We check in with Atlas President Steve Ryan to talk all things Tanzania.

What's going on with the Tanzania trip? How are our friends doing overseas? What have we been able to do to help them?

Atlas MedStaff has partnered with the good people at the Mosaic Foundation to give back to communities in Tanzania. This year's trip has been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, but we are still excited to keep open hearts and minds and give back where we can.

________________________ Previous Tanzania episodes

Check out the original story about how Atlas MedStaff got connected to the Mosaic Foundation and began our quest to partner with the Tanzania community. We are proud to give back where we can, and inspired by the friends and change-makers we've met. 👉 youtu.be/EqkPnp4zhJM

Here a solid mix of beers that our own Atlas President Steve Ryan brought back to Atlas HQ. We cracked these open in this special episode of "A Beer With Atlas", where we review craft brews from around the country where our healthcare travelers visit. 👉 youtu.be/aY-RpfldHbw

We ran a contest to select two Atlas travelers and two Atlas in-house staffers to go on our next trip to Tanzania. We have an excellent group selected, and everyone was excited to go and make a difference. Unfortunately, Covid-19 and the current state of the world has put those plans on pause. But we can't wait to reconnect with our friends overseas. 👉 youtu.be/2q5DFn7gp-E

Wear a mask. Save a life.

It's frustrating to us to see basic science, not to mention healthcare, be turned into a political statement. This is not about that.

What we do want to focus on is the importance of wearing a mask. There's a lot of false information out there. So let's go over the facts. What's the truth behind wearing a mask?

We've worked with thousands of nurses, techs, therapists, and healthcare professionals around the country, we regularly talk with some of the biggest names in the healthcare industry and some of the most recognized medical facilities in the country — and they all say you should wear a mask.

Healthcare professionals, of course, already know all this. But if you have been trying to find a piece of content to share with a family member that is *not* political, but does go over the facts of wearing a mask ... well, we hope this helps.

Stay safe out there. Wear a mask and protect your fellow man. Look out for each other.

________________________ WHO Myths Wearing a mask causes oxygen deficiency. • Nope. • Otherwise nurses and docs who wear masks for 8-12 hour surgeries would collapse. Drinking alcohol prevents the coronavirus. • No, but nice try. You might feel better about things, though. Hot sauce and hot peppers protect you from getting Covid-19 • No. Otherwise our ICU nurses would be injecting patients with 10 CCs of Cholula and epi-pens loaded with Tapatio. (Don't inject hot sauce, kids.) 5G causes Covid-19 • No. • But it might give you a better mobile signal to research facts from the WHO or CDC. Extreme heat (or cold) kills the virus. • Also no. Do not blast a blowdryer up your nose. Injecting bleach or cleaning agents stops the virus. • No. Unless you count that it will kill you. Do not do this.

TravCon 2020, the largest gathering of travel healthcare professionals, is officially canceled.

Yeah, we know. We're bummed, too. But we also think it's the right call.

This was not an easy decision for them to make. We're sure the TravCon board agonized over this one. In the end it's the right call for the conference, for the attendees, and for all of the business partners planning to go.

Find out more about TravCon, how jobs are opening in the wake of coronavirus, and what we hope to see at TravCon 2021.

Most importantly, we hope to see you.

Stay safe.

NOTE: If you purchased TravCon tickets for the 2020 conference, you are eligible for a full refund. Visit their Facebook page or website for more info.

That amazing job you saw posted on Facebook? The one you think is too good to be true? It probably is.

But how can a travel nurse or healthcare pro know? How do you spot the fake posts from the real ones?

Join us for an in-depth conversation with Nurse Recruiter Jake Brower and Atlas MedStaff Vice President Rich Smith, as we get right to the heart of the matter. Nothing is left on the table as we dissect the realities behind all those job posts you see on Facebook. What do they mean, and what are those recruiters really trying to do?

The best defense against janky job posts on social media? Build a relationship with a recruiter you can trust.

Your recruiter should be ok with you sending them a job post you see in the wild, both to ask if it's one they can get for you, and also to trust them enough when they tell you it's likely BS (that's the technical industry term).

This week's episode comes directly from a question a listener sent in. (Obligatory: long-time listener, first-time caller.)

Is there anything you can do to increase the chances of getting that placement you are hoping for right now? And is traveling what I want to do right now?

Great questions! Tune in to find out some simple tips on how you can improve your odds of landing that next contract. (This is good for any traveler, not just our own Atlas family.)

Persistence and Communication.
