What are the responsibilities and job description for the Travel Nurse Cath Lab position at NextGen MedStaff?
NextGen MedStaff has completely replaced the nuisance of recruiting with the travel industry's first, two-way, real-time smartphone application. The savings we see by eliminating the outdated “recruiter model” are passed along to the traveler, allowing us the ability to pay our travelers substantially more than any other agency.
