Job Seeker FAQ
How long does it take to start my first assignment?
That all depends on your availability, some travelers start their first assignment within two weeks after submitting their application, while others plan their assignments several months in advance.How quickly you start on a travel assignment depends on whether your documentation is complete and if your license is current for the state where you will be practicing.
If it isn’t, don’t worry. Prime’s credentialing team will assist you with getting all the paperwork and credential requirements organized in time for your assignment start date.

What if something goes wrong on my assignment?
Although we hope nothing does, let’s face it things happen. For example, Cheryl PTA was on an assignment in a hospital in Houston when Hurricane Harvey hit. Her housing was located in a flood zone and her fur baby (Wiggles) was at home, although she had a safe place to stay in the hospital, Wiggles could not stay in her apartment.Animal shelters during a hurricane are never an option for us here at Prime. Our housing department immediately found Cheryl and Wiggle’s new safe housing out of the storm’s path at no charge.
