American Medical Staffing

What American Medical Staffing does

American Medical Staffing (AMS) is a privately-held U.S. healthcare staffing firm headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland (with the legal entity registered in Maryland and an additional American Surgical Professionals office in Clearwater, Florida), operating since 2001 and maintaining continuous Joint Commission HCSS Certification since 2006. The company connects nurses, allied health professionals (therapists, radiologic/CT/MRI technologists), school healthcare providers (school nurses, SLPs, special education providers), correctional and behavioral health clinicians, home health staff, and surgical assistants with travel, per diem, and contract assignments at healthcare facilities and educational institutions nationwide. Active job postings span at least 12 states including KS, NC, OH, SC, TN, VA, TX, MO, CO, GA, FL, and WV.

The core technology is the Labor Edge Nexus platform — an online portal that supports job search, application submission, resume intake, and candidate management, layered on top of a multi-state credentialing and licensing workflow. Public pricing data shows weekly bill rates ranging from $1,465-$1,538 for LPNs, $1,574-$2,320 for RNs depending on specialty, and $1,656-$2,123 for radiologic technologists; hourly rates range from $30-$66 depending on role and setting. The company runs a hybrid sales model combining dedicated phone lines (Talent Acquisition, Client Staffing Solutions, Credentialing & HR, Payroll & Benefits) with enterprise field sales targeting hospitals, school systems, correctional facilities, and long-term care providers, plus a self-service web portal for candidates.

Revenue is generated on a professional services staffing-agency basis — facilities pay negotiated bill rates for placed clinicians while AMS pays clinicians wages, capturing a markup spread. The company has been recognized on Staffing Industry Analysts' Largest Healthcare Staffing Firms (2023), the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies list, and has held ClearlyRated Best of Staffing status (4.5 rating) plus a 4.9 Google rating. In March 2025, AMS acquired Nexus Therapy, extending its portfolio into the therapy staffing vertical. The company maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary, American Surgical Professionals (ASP), for surgical assistant staffing, and offers benefits including medical/dental/vision, 401(k), housing stipends, travel reimbursement, and a $500 bilateral referral bonus to both referrer and referred clinician after 450 hours worked.
