Assignments are typically structured as 13-week contracts, with an example ICU contract in Asheville, NC offering 3x12-hour night shifts starting 05/25/2026.

The agency emphasizes a comprehensive support model for travel nurses, including dedicated recruiters, 24/7 support, and logistical assistance such as travel coordination, relocation support, and licensure reimbursement. Focus Staff requires candidates to hold a minimum of 1-2 years of experience along with valid RN licensure and relevant certifications (BLS, ACLS depending on specialty). The organization markets itself as enabling nurses to 'design your travel nurse career path, one delivery at a time,' appealing to professionals seeking adventure and meaningful clinical work in diverse settings.

Focus Staff describes itself as a 'traveler-first healthcare staffing agency,' indicating a stated priority of placing the needs and preferences of travel nurses at the center of its operations.
