Nightingale Nurses

What Nightingale Nurses does

Nightingale Nurses is a privately-held, family-owned travel nursing staffing agency founded in 2003 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The company operates a two-sided marketplace that recruits qualified Registered Nurses across the United States and places them into short-term travel assignments (typically 8–13 weeks) at hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide. Its primary customer segment is experienced RNs seeking flexible, well-compensated travel careers, and its buyer-side customers are hospital systems that contract for clinical coverage.

The company's core technology is a cloud-based job-matching platform augmented by the Nightingale Connect mobile application on iOS and Android, which enables clinicians to search open assignments, manage profiles and timesheets, and communicate with recruiters. Nightingale packages its service offering under the WINGS (Wherever I Nurse, Guaranteed Support) brand, bundling health insurance, professional liability coverage, per diem allowances, travel reimbursements, relicensing assistance, certification reimbursement, loyalty bonuses, referral bonuses, and free lodging options. The platform is supported by a dedicated recruiter team, 24/7 on-call support, and a community-led referral program that pays $1,500 per successful 13-week placement.

Nightingale generates revenue through transaction-based placement fees billed to hospitals and healthcare facilities for each nurse staffed, with nurse compensation (weekly pay ranging from approximately $1,740 for general RN roles to over $6,000 for CRNA specialties) billed to facilities on a per-assignment basis. The firm holds Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval certification, a meaningful compliance credential in healthcare staffing. Operationally, the company maintains a nationwide footprint, a family-owned governance structure without external venture or private equity backing, and reported retention rates exceeding 50% at the 5-year mark — a strong indicator of supply-side loyalty in a notoriously high-churn labor market.
