More about Weatherby Healthcare
The company connects advanced practice nursing professionals with healthcare facilities across the country, with a particular focus on rural and underserved locations. For nursing professionals, Weatherby offers locum tenens assignments in varied clinical settings including emergency departments, primary care clinics serving farm-working families, and behavioral health practices. Nurses working through Weatherby can expect assignment-based employment with flexible scheduling options ranging from PRN (3-8 shifts per month) to full-time contracts. Assignments vary in duration from four-month coverage blocks with extension possibilities to ongoing arrangements. Both in-person and hybrid or fully remote options are available depending on the role and specialty. The company provides logistical support including transportation, housing, and 24-hour access to a dedicated consultant. As a staffing agency rather than a direct healthcare provider, Weatherby serves as an intermediary between nursing professionals and client facilities. This model offers practitioners variety and flexibility but also means that workplace conditions, patient volumes, and clinical environments can vary significantly from one assignment to the next.
Weatherby Healthcare's stated core belief is 'Putting People First,' which they describe as driving their culture in how they treat each other and their placed professionals. Their purpose is described as being 'at the core of all we do,' with a mission focused on placing healthcare professionals in rural or underserved locations where patients need care most.
