Welcome to episode 46 of The Truth About Travel Nursing Podcast! In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of our most popular features at BluePipes: our annual list of the best travel nursing companies.

The origin story of the list and how it evolved from a comparison of existing rankings to a robust, independent system

A detailed breakdown of the scoring methodology, including:

Aggregated review data from five independent platforms

Minimum review requirements to ensure legitimacy and scale

Delta-based scoring that highlights year-over-year improvements or declines

Why internal staff reviews are included—and why they matter

What makes a company ineligible, including fake reviews and internal manipulation

Why we include 20 companies, not 5 or 10

The importance of working with multiple staffing agencies as a traveler

We just released the 2025 Best Travel Nursing Companies list.

This episode also sets the stage for the next one, where I’ll share everything you need to know about rating and review services and how to evaluate other “Best Travel Nursing Company” lists across the web.
