Time to Get Paid – New Payroll Updates Here!

In the first of our series about payroll, we visit with our Chief Operating Officer. David shares why payroll is important to him, and why he’s always made it his mission to ensure that payroll stays in house. David also shares what he thinks is most beneficial about our updated timekeeping system.

Payroll is the lifeblood of any company, and particularly at Fidelity On Call. Our outside staff represents us and our core values. Frankly, our outside staff is our product. We have to get it right for them, and our department prides itself in accurate payrolls.

Are Healthcare Recruiters Important?

Who does not like to have a professional coach in their corner? With healthcare, it is no different. Having a professional, highly-trained healthcare recruiter that works for you is like having your own personal coach.

It is true that Fidelity On Call does not hire every person that applies. We do look for exceptional healthcare providers – ones we know share our mission and vision; ones that will be a good complement to our elite team. Our recruiters are on the front line of that screening process.

They not only advocate for their travel team member, but they work closely with our clients to ensure they are the best match for each other. A successful recruiter can find common ground if there are ever any issues. They can help facilitate flexibility. They ensure the traveler and client both have what they need in each assignment. This is paramount to the success of not just the client and their team, the traveler and their goals, but also to the patients that are being provided care.

Fidelity On Call believes in feedback. Whether that feedback is positive or negative, it is all instrumental in learning about professional development and both are equally important. We share openly and honestly with both our team members and our clients.

Our recruiters are on call. They are largely available 7 days a week. They work holidays, weekends and all the hours in between. That is something we have never waivered on. We know our healthcare team members work those days and if they have an emergency, we are there. If their personal recruiter is not available, they would still have another recruiter that is there for them.

At Fidelity On Call, we invest in people. Healthcare is the business of people. People caring for people.

I Love Nursing

For Valentine’s Day, we asked some of our elite team members what they love about being a travel nurse. Here are their responses…

What I love is my career affords me to do what I love and love what I do. Healthcare is complicated and complex. Travel healthcare gives me flexibility to change up the location, the type of units I work which, in turn, allows me to be a happier version of me and my family reaps in that happiness. – Jessica B

Travel nursing has improved my work/life balance by allowing me to have input on my schedule and when I need time off. I was able to take 8 weeks off over the summer to spend time with baby girl and I wouldn’t have had that chance if it wasn’t for Fidelity On Call. – Emma S

What I love most about my job is being able to provide excellent patient care during a patient’s most vulnerable moments! – Nichole C

Before I was a nurse I was employed in the travel industry for almost 20 years. I worked for a hotel chain, an airline and finally as a travel agent. Fast forward to now and I get to do the 2 things I love the most in the world (besides my son) – travel and nursing. I’m hoping to venture out of Central Illinois in a few years and travel to fun places where I can work and adventure. And because of Fidelity On Call, I can do this!!! – Angela H

I love being a nurse because I get to work with a great team who are as passionate and caring about their patients as I am. I get to meet people from diverse backgrounds, and I am always learning something new. I love that I get to be a part of my patients’ journey to recovery and that I can have a positive impact on their lives. – Kevin T

Simply put: I love being a nurse. I love helping patients during their time of need. I love educating families about the healing process. I love forming life-long bonds with my co-workers . . . even if I only work with them for 13 weeks. I love advocating for patient safety. I love teaching the next generation of nurses. P.S. I also love being paid what I’m worth, which seems to be only obtained through travel nursing. – Heather W

My number one goal is to provide outstanding care and to build trust from my patients and their loved ones. I truly appreciate that Carla is always there for me anytime I call. – Kennetria H

I love LOVE! I love my family and friends and LOVE taking care of people. I love my recruiters. I love my employer Fidelity On Call, I just love LOVE TO LOVE! – Mary L

The Difference a Recruiter Can Make in Your Career

At Fidelity On Call, we believe there’s nothing like having “job coach” with you from the beginning, who knows you and works on your behalf.  It truly makes a difference!
