Great agency, supportive and competitive payrates. Agents are approachable and quick to find and organise contracts. Tom has been amazing in finding contracts suited to my lifestyle as a travelling nurse. 5 stars!
Jocelyn, Registered Nurse
As a rural generalist nurse working in small MPS sites and single nurse posts as well as relief work as a DON-HSM, I've been afforded some incredibly rewarding opportunities across Australia thanks to Verus and Aisling. Verus has made it easy for agency nurses from all backgrounds to find their niche and explore new destinations and challenges across Australia. Thanks Aisling and Verus - I look forward to many more adventures.
Sam, Remote Area Nurse
I landed on my feet when I joined Verus! Dani welcomed me when i first called to enquire about joining and has been an incredible support ever since! She’s at the end of the phone any time I call and she’s absolutely on top of everything - sorting out each contract and advocating for my needs every step of the way. Dani makes arranging each RAN contract easy and you can’t ask for more than that :) I can’t recommend Verus or Dani highly enough!
