Step 2: Connect with a Recruiter
Once you are ready to explore opportunities more seriously, you will connect with a Treva recruiter.
This conversation is about more than filling a role. It helps us understand:
- Your clinical background
- Your preferred locations
- Scheduling preferences
- Career goals
- The type of work environment you are looking for
The more we understand what matters to you, the better we can match you with the right opportunities.
Step 3: Complete Your Application and Credentials
Like all healthcare staffing agencies, Treva will guide you through the credentialing and onboarding process.
This may include:
- Nursing licenses
- Certifications
- Skills checklists
- Background screening
- Health documentation
Our team helps keep the process organized and answers questions along the way so you always know what comes next.
Step 4: Review Assignment Details
Once we identify a strong match, your recruiter will walk you through the assignment details.
This includes:
- Pay information
- Schedule expectations
- Facility details
- Contract length
- Start dates
We believe transparency matters. You should feel informed and confident before accepting any assignment.
Step 5: Prepare for Your Assignment
After accepting an opportunity, Treva continues supporting you through onboarding and preparation.
Depending on the role, this may include:
- Orientation details
- Compliance steps
- Housing guidance
- Scheduling coordination
Our goal is to help you feel prepared before your first shift.
Step 6: Stay Supported Throughout Your Contract
Support does not stop once your assignment begins.
Treva stays connected throughout your contract to make sure things are going smoothly and to help if questions or concerns come up along the way.
That ongoing communication is one of the reasons many nurses continue working with Treva assignment after assignment.
Flexible Paths for Different Career Goals
Not every nurse follows the same path, and that is okay.
Some nurses use travel nursing to explore new environments. Others are looking for flexibility while balancing family or school. Some are interested in contract to hire opportunities that could lead to permanent positions.
Treva helps you build a path that fits your goals and evolves with your career.
