Elevating Health Care

Whether you are a nurse looking for a change, or a health care facility looking to fill an immediate vacancy, we’re here to make the connection so that every community has access to quality health care.

hero-girl-img-1

Connecting qualified travel nurses with the communities that need them the most.

We got our start 25 years ago after noticing a gap in the health care industry - Facilities in remote locations needed qualified health care professionals, but they couldn’t find the right candidates to live in those locations full-time. We are helping to close that gap by recruiting qualified nurses looking for an unconventional work experience on behalf of these facilities.

Your next adventure awaits. Start your career as a travel nurse.

The way we work has changed. People seek more balance and flexibility in where and when they work, and how often. The health care industry is no exception. Travel nursing is a great opportunity to leverage your skills where they’re most needed while giving you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy longer periods of time off between placements to travel, pursue a hobby, or simply work your way through your to-do list. The commute is a little different, but the view is unbeatable and that’s not the only benefit.

TRAVEL NURSING

Isn’t it time to spread your wings, travel Canada and never miss a paycheck?

Work to live , Talk about work/life balance!

Nursing is your career. You went to school and studied hard, graduated, got your first job and now you’ve been working in the field of nursing for a lot of years. You love the job and you’re passionate about it, but at this point in your life you want  more ‘You time.’ You’d like to have more time with your family and friends, you’d like to travel and you’re even starting to think about retiring; not yet, but you’re thinking about it. What if you could stay in the profession you trained for and you love and have the lifestyle you want at the same time? There is such a thing as work/life balance; you can have it all with Solutions Staffing.

Nursing school helped you prepare for what a career in the industry was going to be like, but the real training has been the years of experience you’ve devoted to the field. Your education along with what you have learned on the job has made you an invaluable asset to the profession. Throughout everything you’ve learned, one of the most important things is that to be at your absolute best, it is essential to have a real balance between your work life and your personal life. When you first started in nursing it was important to prove yourself as a dedicated and passionate hard worker; you’ve done that. Now it would be nice to let the profession work for you. What if we told you there’s a different kind of nursing experience? Solutions Staffing is just an email away.

Work When You Have Time To Work. Decide for yourself.

Nursing is a tremendous career and you love it, but sometimes the scheduling doesn’t account for your aging parents, your kids or grandkids or the fact that you’d like to take an extended vacation. You give a lot of yourself to your career, but it would be nice to be able to decide when you want to work and what’s best for you and your family. With Solutions Staffing, that’s exactly what happens: you decide for yourself when and where you work. Seem to good to be true? Solutions Staffing is a real opportunity for you. Our reputation speaks for itself and while you get on with the business of what you do best, we take care of the rest. Of course you have a lot of questions, that’s normal. We will answer all of them so you can make the decisions that are right for you.

It’s Flexible Freedom. Never Miss A Paycheque.

Remember when you were first learning how to use your Smart Phone? Your TV remote? The PVR? You knew that you wanted to do it, but it seemed daunting and scary so you put it off. It didn’t take you long to realize that if you wanted these things as a part of your lifestyle you were going to have to pursue them. And so you did and you mastered it. The reason you put in the time and effort to learn about it is because you knew that it would make your life easier, more convenient and ultimately better. That’s what it’s like with Travel Nursing. At first, you might not think that it’s that important to you, but as you think about it, you start to realize that this really could improve your life. Not only will you get the hang of it in no time, but just like with technology, you’ll wonder how you did without it. It’s your job, your way with Solutions Staffing. We hire healthcare professionals including Nurse practitioners, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals for casual shifts, permanent positions and everything in between.

Alberta hospitals turn to travel nurses as staffing shortages continue

200 nurses and aides contracted by staffing agencies are filling the gaps, ahs says.

travel nursing alberta

Social Sharing

As staffing shortages continue to plague Alberta hospitals, travel nurses contracted by private agencies are being used to fill the gaps.

The use of staffing agency nurses is not new, but it is becoming more common as the practice is being adopted in some of the province's largest urban hospitals, according the United Nurses of Alberta.

"It shows that there's a real problem, that there's a very serious shortage," said David Harrigan, director of labour relations with the United Nurses of Alberta.

"Almost every major facility has travel nurses."

According to Harrigan, staffing agency nurses have been used in northern Alberta for years, and more recently hospitals in central Alberta started turning to agencies for front-line staff.

Now, he says, emergency rooms and intensive care units at both the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary and the University of Alberta hospital in Edmonton are filling holes with travel nurses.

"It's a terrible solution to the problem because it's far more expensive," said Harrigan, who notes some of these contracted nurses can be paid up to double the amount AHS nurses receive.

And the union is concerned about how quickly temporary nurses can adapt.

"They're not oriented properly to the facility. They don't know all of the procedures. In terms of continuity of care, it really causes big problems."

David Harrigan is wearing a jacket and tie sitting in an office.

200 privately contracted staff

According to Alberta Health Services, there are nearly 200 registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and health-care aides — supplied by staffing agencies — working in the province's hospitals and continuing care homes.

There are  a total of 50,000 people working in those jobs.

The use of temporary front-line staff, the health authority says, is a last resort in the face of growing strain on the health-care system.

"AHS has responded to increased pressure on our workforce by utilizing a number of strategies, including reassigning and redeploying staff to areas or greater need, training for redeployment, increased overtime and temporary increase of hours for part-time staff, call out to existing staff for additional hours, and recruiting retirees, students and new hires from out of province," spokesperson Kerry Williamson said in a statement emailed to CBC News.

"Contracted staff are brought in to provide temporary help in areas where we have exhausted other options with existing staff, and in accordance with collective agreements. Contracted staff are never used in preference to qualified staff available for a given location/position."

According to Williamson, the use of staffing agencies predates the pandemic and is done, on a small scale, across the country.

The workers provided through staffing agencies are primarily from outside Alberta and none are from the United States.

When it comes to the difference in pay, AHS says it contracts the private agencies, not the individual nurses, and the hourly rates are set by the agencies.

"We recognize our staff have been working tirelessly and are grateful for the additional support at this time."

Kathy Howe looks at the camera. She's wearing a read scarf.

Nurses 'exhausted'

"I think at this point, anything can help," said Kathy Howe, executive director with the Alberta Association of Nurses.

Front-line hospital staff, she says, are exhausted after two years of the pandemic.

"It can give nurses a break in a sense in that they can work the shift they're supposed to work [and] not have their phone ring seven, eight times a day asking them to come in for extra shifts. And that can be very valuable," she said.

"Even four nurses [or] eight nurses in a unit can really start to make a difference [and] just take a little bit of that pressure off."

According to Howe, agency nurses can be highly experienced in environments such as the ER or ICU and they can adapt quickly.

"It's a short-term solution," she said. "Sometimes there's no choice if you want to keep patients safe and you want to keep nurses safe."

At the University of Alberta, Donna Wilson is watching this trend unfold with trepidation.

"This is quite a new and major development," said Wilson, an RN and professor in the faculty of nursing at the University of Alberta.

"You can't think that that's just an automatic easy transfer, as if you can just bring them in, plop them into place and they start working from the minute they start there. Normally they take a week to a month to get oriented and up to speed. And some never do get up to speed."

She calls the use of travel nurses a "Band-Aid" solution, and she says a long-term strategy is needed to address Alberta's nursing crunch.

"We're getting into some major shortages of nurses in various countries, and now it's come home to roost, really. The pandemic, in particular, has made great demand for emergency room and ICU nurses," said Wilson.

"It's sad that we've waited until now. Two years ago, we could have started increasing enrolment into nursing programs and those nursing students could already be out there working in hospitals as nursing students.… But it didn't happen."
