Who they are
You are not walking into a Santa Fe hospital floor when you look at Med Ninjas—you are talking with a staffing agency that places travel, per diem, PRN, contract-to-perm, and locum clinicians.

More about Med Ninjas
The work itself still looks familiar: a New Mexico PCU day block on 12-hour 0700 starts, four weekend shifts in four weeks, Epic on the unit, and a clear note that travelers float first, including to the ED and sites within about twenty miles. CRNA schedules in their postings run 7a–3p, 7a–5p, or 7a–7p with call near 1:6 and a post-call day off often preferred. Pay on the one travel posting we can tally lands near $2,200 gross per week on a 13-week length. CRNA write-ups list base ranges by years of licensure, recruitment bonuses that step from $25k upward, CME money and time, malpractice with tail, and relocation help when distance qualifies. One CRNA line also says new graduates are welcome to apply. Read the fine print before you say yes. Time off has to be on the table at submission for the NM travel role, locals inside 75 miles are screened out, and a few nurses online describe hard-to-stop recruiter calls and a fight over COVID pay after an assignment illness. If that tradeoff still fits how you work, you can match a specialty and length and go from there.
Company describes itself as formed to address the healthcare talent shortage and offers per diem, PRN, contract-to-perm, travel nursing and allied, and locum tenens.

The reality check

Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
