Atlas All Access

Rich and Stephen sit down to discuss all the happenings from this year's SIA Healthcare Staffing Summit. In a year like no other, they talk about the pros and cons of the industry and how technology is now playing a key role in it.

Where do you start? This is a question that comes up a number of times. We chat with Braden Boex, Atlas recruiter, about where you should start, what you should be doing, and the steps along the way. After that, we get into some other fun stuff on this episode of Atlas All Access.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month. Let's Talk about it.

On this episode, we talk to Adam Conrad, Founder and CXO of Great Recruiters. Great Recruiters is much like Yelp or Google Reviews, but for Travel Healthcare recruiters.

We love the Toys for Tots program. It's easy to get behind an organization where the entire goal is to spread Christmas Joy to a child. And unlike some organizations, you know that 100 percent of that toy you donate will go to a kid in need. Since it's run by the Marines, your donations go directly back to the kids, not operating costs. This year, our traveling healthcare pros helped make our fifth annual Toys for Tots drive better than ever. We collected more than 2,000 toys that will go directly to the kids. And YOU helped so much. You sent in toys, ordered mountains of gifts, and even contributed cash that we spent for more toys to add to the growing piles. It's an amazing feeling to see the Marines show up to collect the toys and realize they should have brought a bigger truck. And then watch them take multiple trips to haul all those toys away. Thank you for helping to spread some Christmas cheer and joy during a very rough year. Merry Christmas. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

How do you take an entire company, effectively close down an office, and begin company-wide work-from-home policies overnight? We discuss the hidden benefits working from home brings to our team, and how it allows us the flexibility to communicate with our travelers around their covid-era schedules. We may miss the office and those random coffee chats — and it's hard to replace those in-person activities — but there's a lot to be said about the freedom of working from home, or traveling the country with your laptop handy, as many traveling healthcare professionals can attest. Some of the best benefits of working from home include: no commute, improved productivity, working around your schedule, keeping costs down, efficiency and health, and location independence. Find out how your travel healthcare recruiter is still out here working for you, only now we do it fully remote from our homes or the open road. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

We talk with some of the newest Atlas staffers to find out what they've learned about jumping into the recruiting life, tips for new travelers, and how you're never alone: You can lean on your recruiter.

TravCon 2020 — we miss you and we never got the chance to know you. Normally, right now, we would be in Vegas with all of you, celebrating TravCon and toasting to our awesome travel nurses and travel healthcare pros. But 2020 has been a bit of a [insert your favorite swear]. Right? We chat with Tricia Novak: NICU RN, travel nurse, volunteer coordinator for TravCon, and all-around awesome person. Share some TravCon memories with us as we talk about the TravCon that wasn't (2020), and the TravCon that will be (2021). Suddenly we feel like Bob Cratchit discussing the ghosts of TravCon Past, The Ghost of TravCon Present, The Ghost of TravCon Future, and The Ghost of OMG You Had Too Many Shots Last Night at TravCon. (Dickens left out that last ghost from earlier drafts.)

With so many people trying to figure out how to homeschool for the first time, we talked with a pro. Learn from a travel nurse family how they have tackled homeschooling, how every day can be an adventure (or challenge), and how there's always an opportunity to learn. A classroom setting has its pros and cons, but any place can be a learning lesson. As many of us try to figure out the "new normal" for the school year, here are some quick tips to keep in mind when you consider homeschooling or remote learning. And for more great tips like this, check out our friends at "No Ordinary Path" on YouTube

Trust your recruiter and your agency. If they've always been there for you, listen to them over the internet noise. We love the Internet! But we also know that while eternal vigilance is the price of freedom (attributed to Thomas Jefferson), replying to a contentious comment thread with a gif of Darth Vader screaming "Noooo" is the price of dealing with internet trolls. Don't trust everything you read online. We've seen waves and tumultuous storms like this in the industry before. And this, too, shall pass. It's just obnoxious while you're on the boat rocking away in the storm — we get it. Tune in to check out some unfiltered industry insights in this episode of "Atlas All Access". How do you filter out internet trolls? How do you win an internet argument? And what can you do to weather the storm now that jobs are back? Go back to the people and the agency that you trust. You should be able to trust them enough to take something to them you have seen online, and simply ask them, "Is this legit?" They would much rather help you navigate those waters than drift off course because of a persistent troll. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

We've decided to have our entire staff remain work-from-home through all of 2020. What does this mean for you? This wasn't an easy decision, but it's the right thing to do. We are incredibly focused on being the support structure to our traveling healthcare professionals. We are here working for you so that you can focus on your patients, on our loved ones, on getting us all through this. Early on during "The-Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named" (that's 2020), we were one of the first travel nurse agencies to make the decision to send our team home to work fully remote. Now we are committing even further to that effort. Our team will work-from-home throughout the rest of the year. Some of us haven't stepped foot in the office since early March! (It's been a weird year.) It's important for us to take care of our team, and that includes our travelers along with our in-house staff. We want to be part of the solution. And if we are pushing to open our office HQ too soon, we run the risk of putting people in danger of contracting Covid-19 or taking up valuable beds that you need. This is why our team will continue to work from home for you. We're here, working for you. We just might be doing it in our pajamas with an ice-cold IPA next to us. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

What happens when you are a travel healthcare professional and your company disappears? Or goes through a merger? Acquisition? Or any number of business challenges. Is your job safe? Will you even get paid this week? What happens next? These are scary questions for a nurse about to start their shift, potentially working an entire weekend for free. Thankfully, in this episode, we talk about when the stars align and everything works out. Join us as we revisit the Atlas MedStaff asset purchase of Meridian Staffing, and find out what that process looks like from the inside: from a nurse's perspective living through every moment, and from a recruiter's side where they found new opportunities.

We check in with Atlas President Steve Ryan to talk all things Tanzania. What's going on with the Tanzania trip? How are our friends doing overseas? What have we been able to do to help them? Atlas MedStaff has partnered with the good people at the Mosaic Foundation to give back to communities in Tanzania. This year's trip has been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, but we are still excited to keep open hearts and minds and give back where we can. ________________________ Previous Tanzania episodes Check out the original story about how Atlas MedStaff got connected to the Mosaic Foundation and began our quest to partner with the Tanzania community. We are proud to give back where we can, and inspired by the friends and change-makers we've met.

Are you on LinkedIn yet? Should you be? We talk with Nurse Recruiter Jody Pokorny about the benefits of LinkedIn, the professionalism of the platform, and how you might find your next travel healthcare job (or recruiter) on the platform. Tired of the negativity and the dreck you can find on Facebook? Maybe LinkedIn is the professional platform you need to propel your career. Get to know Travel Nurse Recruiter Jody Pokorny:

Wear a mask. Save a life. It's frustrating to us to see basic science, not to mention healthcare, be turned into a political statement. This is not about that. What we do want to focus on is the importance of wearing a mask. There's a lot of false information out there. So let's go over the facts. What's the truth behind wearing a mask? We've worked with thousands of nurses, techs, therapists, and healthcare professionals around the country, we regularly talk with some of the biggest names in the healthcare industry and some of the most recognized medical facilities in the country — and they all say you should wear a mask. Healthcare professionals, of course, already know all this. But if you have been trying to find a piece of content to share with a family member that is *not* political, but does go over the facts of wearing a mask ... well, we hope this helps. Stay safe out there. Wear a mask and protect your fellow man. Look out for each other. ________________________ WHO Myths Wearing a mask causes oxygen deficiency. • Nope. • Otherwise nurses and docs who wear masks for 8-12 hour surgeries would collapse. Drinking alcohol prevents the coronavirus. • No, but nice try. You might feel better about things, though. Hot sauce and hot peppers protect you from getting Covid-19 • No. Otherwise our ICU nurses would be injecting patients with 10 CCs of Cholula and epi-pens loaded with Tapatio. (Don't inject hot sauce, kids.) 5G causes Covid-19 • No. • But it might give you a better mobile signal to research facts from the WHO or CDC. Extreme heat (or cold) kills the virus. • Also no. Do not blast a blowdryer up your nose. Injecting bleach or cleaning agents stops the virus. • No. Unless you count that it will kill you. Do not do this. ________________________ #AtlasAllAccess, #Mask, #WearAMask, #MasksSaveLives, #Coronavirus, #Covid19, #NurseRecruiter, #AlliedRecruiter, #NurseJobs, #HealthcareJobs, #AlliedJobs, #TravelNurse, #Nurses, #Nurse, #NurseLife, #NurseAdventures, #HealthcarePodcast, #AlliedHealthcare, #AlliedHealth, #AlliedTravelers, #AtlasMedStaff, #whereyoubelong

TravCon 2020, the largest gathering of travel healthcare professionals, is officially canceled. Yeah, we know. We're bummed, too. But we also think it's the right call.

In the end it's the right call for the conference, for the attendees, and for all of the business partners planning to go.

That amazing job you saw posted on Facebook? The one you think is too good to be true? It probably is. But how can a travel nurse or healthcare pro know? How do you spot the fake posts from the real ones? Join us for an in-depth conversation with Nurse Recruiter Jake Brower and Atlas MedStaff Vice President Rich Smith, as we get right to the heart of the matter. Nothing is left on the table as we dissect the realities behind all those job posts you see on Facebook. What do they mean, and what are those recruiters really trying to do? The best defense against janky job posts on social media? Build a relationship with a recruiter you can trust. Your recruiter should be ok with you sending them a job post you see in the wild, both to ask if it's one they can get for you, and also to trust them enough when they tell you it's likely BS (that's the technical industry term). Get to know Nurse Recruiter Jake Brower:

It may feel like things keep shifting whenever you start to get your feet beneath you. We're right there with you. Take a breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Again. That's better. And then remember: the travel healthcare industry has been through this before. The 2008 housing crises and subsequent recession played havoc on a host of industries that were never the same afterward. In this episode of "Atlas All Access", we offer a little perspective in the midst of the 2020 pandemic by reflecting on the lessons we learned out of the 2008 recession. There are many similarities between 2008 and 2020 for the travel healthcare industry. For some of our veterans — and you longtime nurses — it may even feel a little eerie. Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest for the trees when you are in the middle of the forest working overtime in full PPE and the lumberjacks refuse to wear flannel because of the zombie bears — that metaphor may have gotten away from us, but you know what we mean. We will get through this. You got this.
