Atlas All Access

What's it like to be a nurse during a pandemic?

Learn from our travel nurses who have had a front-row seat to the changing impact of the coronavirus on hospital life for healthcare workers.

Whether you are a permanent staff nurse, an active travel nurse, or someone looking to take that first travel contract — here's what it is like to be a travel nurse during the COVID-19 age.

Things have been rough, and we have said many times this is a #podcast where we will tackle any topic for you. This is the reality of being a nurse during the coronavirus pandemic.

BUT— there is a ray of light in the tunnel. We are seeing things improve, new procedures and operations are being scheduled for the summer, and jobs are opening back up.

Be careful, be smart, and be safe out there. And take some advice to heart from nurses and fellow healthcare professionals who have been there.

It may feel like things keep shifting whenever you start to get your feet beneath you. We're right there with you. Take a breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Again. That's better.

And then remember: the travel healthcare industry has been through this before.

The 2008 housing crises and subsequent recession played havoc on a host of industries that were never the same afterward. In this episode of "Atlas All Access", we offer a little perspective in the midst of the 2020 pandemic by reflecting on the lessons we learned out of the 2008 recession.

There are many similarities between 2008 and 2020 for the travel healthcare industry. For some of our veterans — and you longtime nurses — it may even feel a little eerie.

Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest for the trees when you are in the middle of the forest working overtime in full PPE and the lumberjacks refuse to wear flannel because of the zombie bears — that metaphor may have gotten away from us, but you know what we mean.

We will get through this. You got this.

BONUS WEEKEND GAME: Take a shot every time someone says the phrases "the new normal" or "in these unprecedented times".

You have to be on all day with your patients. With your family. But when you go home, in the quiet of the night, how are you doing?

It's ok to be stressed out! These are stressful times. We want to be sure you are taking care of yourself, as well as your patients!

Every Atlas employee has access to several mental health benefits that are completely anonymous. If you just want an article to read, or a video to watch — or if you would like to talk or vent to a counselor, you have that available to you. And it is totally anonymous.

We have already paid for these services as a company for you. You have access to all of these things even if you are not on our insurance. For free. And it's confidential.

Take care of yourself.

We're all beat up. Our team is working from home and we have a skeleton crew in our 20,000-square-foot office. BUT— we are working harder than ever for *you!*

In fact, Steve and Rich are getting a ton of productivity out of us since we're putting in even longer hours at home. Wait— was this Steve's strategy all along?

In all seriousness, things are still weird, and we get that. Check out this update from Steve and Rich as we look at how the travel healthcare industry is sitting, where the jobs are, and what we're seeing from our partners.

At the end of the day, our message is the same: Know that we are all here for you, working for you ... in our own houses, practicing safe social distancing to help you.

The tide is turning. The curve is beginning to flatten — thanks to the work of our healthcare professionals and good social distancing.

So what's next?

We know it's stressful and things can feel rough right now. Cancelations are real. And those high-rate jobs can be ephemeral. Here are insights into what to expect, what to plan for, and things you can do now to prep for that wave breaking and jobs opening up.

Whether you work with Atlas MedStaff or another travel healthcare agency, this is advice you can plan for and put to work for your own success.

Ever wonder how we find, source, and test Atlas swag? Want to know how much it actually costs?

All the Atlas swag you see comes out of a separate operating budget from Atlas. It's a small way for us to give back to you. (It is not factored into your contract). But if you've ever wondered how the math breaks out, come with us on a swagtastic journey.

Got a suggestion of new Atlas swag you would like us to consider? Let us know in the comments!
