The city

Living in Weston, WV

Weston is a small Appalachian town in central West Virginia, steeped in Civil War-era history and framed by rolling hills. The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum anchors its downtown. Life here is quiet, close-knit, and unhurried—a fit for nurses who prefer rural charm and outdoor access over urban bustle.

Who they are

You are looking at MSSI (Medical Staffing Solutions, Inc.), a nationwide travel and per-diem staffing agency placing nurses into worksites rather than running its own hospital.

  • Hiring days
More about MSSI

In Weston, West Virginia, that can mean a per-diem OR RN role at $59/hr with variable days, no call, and a minimum of two shifts every four weeks including one weekend. You will need prior OR experience, an active WV or compact license, and AHA BLS, ACLS, and PALS, and you should plan on driving because local transit is limited. Across the agency, travel contracts often run 13 weeks at 36 hours on 12-hour shifts. Marketed supports include tax-free stipends, referral bonuses, 24/7 recruiter access, flexible shifts, and a highest-pay guarantee without negotiation. MSSI is Joint Commission certified and describes itself as an award-winning agency with more than 25 years in staffing; West Virginia sits among its featured locations. Expect the usual agency pattern: one to two years of specialty experience is the general bar before travel, though at least one Med-Surg travel posting has welcomed new grads. Nurses have called recruiters kind and willing to advocate on pay, while others note less hand-holding if you are new to travel and the reality that this is contract work.
