About the Position

TravelNurseSource is working with Wayward Medical Staffing to find a qualified ER/Trauma RN in Salinas, California, 93906!

There are a lot of travel nursing agencies.

Most of them can submit you to a job.

The difference is what happens after you click apply.

At Wayward Medical Staffing, you get one point of contact, straight answers, permission before submission, and real check ins that are not just disguised extension calls.

We do the boring stuff well.

We answer fast.

We tell the truth.

We get your permission before putting your name in front of a facility.

And when something gets weird on assignment, we pick up the phone.

We’re not a billion-dollar staffing machine with five departments and four handoffs before someone learns your name.

We’re a Mom and Pop shop who puts relationships first. We’re built for travelers who want to be treated like humans, not chart numbers.

That means we stay with you through the full assignment, help you navigate the messy parts, and start thinking about your next contract before this one ends.

Our rule is simple:

No one gets burned.

If you want an agency that communicates clearly, follows through, and actually sticks around after you start, apply with Wayward.

We’ll walk you through the details and help you decide if this assignment is the right fit.

About Wayward Medical Staffing

Let’s be real, most agencies are like factories: massive, impersonal, and built to crank out volume. You get passed from recruiter to credentialing to payroll like a hot potato, and half the time, no one knows your name or where you're actually going.

Wayward isn’t built like that. We’re a boutique agency on purpose.
That means:

• You’re not one of 10,00 nurses on a spreadsheet.

• You get one tight-knit team who handles your whole journey...no corporate maze.

• We focus on long-term vibes, not one-and-done placements.

We’re rebels with a purpose: to make travel nursing feel less like a transaction and more like a partnership.

Founded in April 2020, Wayward emerged from a deep understanding of the Travel Nursing industry's challenges. Inspired by the voices of travelers on platforms like Reddit and Facebook, our Founder envisioned a company that truly values and supports clinicians. At Wayward, we’re committed to trust, transparency, and respect, ensuring our clinicians feel genuinely prioritized. By fostering a supportive environment, we empower them to focus on their passion—providing exceptional care.
