How will I get to my assignment?

It's best to drive or have your vehicle transported to your assignment, since you'll want to explore your new surroundings and go sightseeing on your days off. If, however, you accept an assignment in a major city where parking is scarce and public transportation is readily available, you can probably do without a car. For our Hawaii contracts, we will supply you with one of our island cars. Our Alaska contracts usually involve a car rental stipend. We will always ensure that you have maps and detailed instructions on how to get to your destination and your new workplace.

Is housing really free?

Yes. You will be provided with free, private, furnished housing on every company-paid travel assignment, no matter where you travel. Speak to your recruiter for further details.

Our standard housing package consists of a free, private one-bedroom apartment. In some locations, studio apartments are offered. Your accommodation will be in move-in condition upon your arrival, complete with furniture. Many of our properties even feature luxurious amenities, including pools, fitness centers and tennis courts. For more information, please visit our housing section.

Will you provide accommodation if I travel with my spouse and/or children?

Yes, we will provide you with free, private accommodation in a comfortable setting close to your workplace. We can also provide you with private two-bedroom accommodations. You may be required to pay a nominal monthly fee for private, two-bedroom housing. This fee will vary depending on the location and the assignment. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can find your own accommodation and we will pay you a generous monthly housing subsidy.

Will I receive a housing subsidy if I stay with friends or family?

Yes. If you provide your own housing accommodations for your tassignment, Medical Staffing Solutions will provide you with a monthly housing subsidy. The housing subsidy varies depending on the assignment and the location. To find out specific subsidy amounts, please contact your recruiter.

Will I be provided with free housing if I travel with a pet?

Yes. Many housing units allow travelers to keep pets. If you bring a pet on a travel assignment, please request our private housing option. You likely will have to pay a pet deposit. The pet deposit amount varies from place to place. This will be returned upon completion of your assignment if the accommodations are clean and well maintained.
