More about Vision Quest Solutions Inc.
While primarily known for security services, risk management, and tactical training, the company also contracts with federal healthcare missions to provide clinical staffing, including Registered Nurses for facilities serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. In the Shiprock, NM location, Vision Quest is recruiting RNs for pediatric inpatient and medical-surgical nursing care within a federal healthcare setting on the Navajo Nation. The company holds multiple federal contracting certifications (8A, SDVOSB, VOSB) and has received federal contract awards, positioning it as a government services provider. For nurses, this means working as a contractor embedded within a federal healthcare facility rather than being directly employed by a hospital system. The work environment is described as fast-paced and mission-driven, with emphasis on cultural respect and interdisciplinary teamwork in care delivery to indigenous communities.
Vision Quest states that 'what separates Vision Quest from other companies is its belief in people' and that 'we are only as good as the people around us, so we invest in people above all else.' The company emphasizes that 'loyalty runs two ways' and focuses on customer satisfaction over market share. The nursing role specifically is framed around a federal healthcare mission serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities, emphasizing clinical skill, cultural respect, and teamwork.
