Who they are
You are looking at American Medical Staffing as a travel or contract path into Independence, Virginia—not a single hospital badge, but a mid-size staffing firm (roughly 201–500 people) based in Hunt Valley, Maryland that matches RNs to facility assignments.
Contracts commonly run about thirteen weeks, full-time, and can extend in three-month steps; you can ask for time off before you start, and after credentialing a per diem roster is an option. Pay on the one posting we have sits near a $2,356 weekly gross median, with older public notes calling Mother/Baby hospital pay competitive and negotiable and listing day-one medical benefits, wellness PTO, hotel discounts, and a 401(k). Roles that show up include Mother/Baby (two-plus years and 12-hour nights), correctional nursing (two years corrections experience plus security protocols), and OR travel elsewhere. Their credentialing side helps with Nurse Licensure Compact paperwork, which matters in compact-license Virginia. Process-wise you hand over resume, references, and a skills checklist, sit a facility interview, then move through HR onboarding and orientation, with regular check-ins if you extend. Industry lists put them on the 2023 Inc. 5000 and in SIA’s larger travel-nurse and healthcare staffing ranks, and ClearlyRated gave Best of Staffing marks for client and talent satisfaction in 2022–2023. Glassdoor’s snapshot is about 4.0 from roughly 35 reviews with around 72 percent willing to recommend—while some travel nurses on Reddit still group the agency with ones they call disorganized.

The reality check
The first year has a shape: exam, license, first job, base year, then the move. Residency windows and commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
