No. A processed application only means you have access to exciting allied health travel assignment choices. You can commit to an assignment when you're ready to travel.
To be assigned to an allied travel position by AMN, you must be a graduate of a U.S.-accredited allied healthcare program, hold a valid professional practice license or certification, and present proof of your right to work in the United States (the most common forms of this are your birth certificate, social security card, or U.S. passport).
Your commitment is equal to the length of the assignment you agree to take. For travel assignments, this is typically 13 weeks, but can vary to be either longer or shorter depending on the facility’s needs.
We make it easy for you to get started. Simply fill out a AMNs online application. After completing your application, AMN will provide you access to skills checklists specific to your discipline, as well as a professional reference request form. By completing these steps you'll be matched to a recruiter more quickly. Your recruiter will then evaluate your qualifications and contact you by phone to match you with assignments that complement your experience.
We place many allied disciplines, including but not limited to physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, radiation therapists, respiratory therapists, medical technologists, radiologic technologists, nuclear medicine technologists, MRI technologists, CT technologists, sonographers, cardiovascular technologists and polysomnography technologists.
AMN' allied travelers are among the highest-paid healthcare professionals in the industry. We also offer a wide variety of benefits including comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.

If traveling away from home, AMN recommends that you drive to your assignment. This gives you the freedom to explore a new area on your days off. If you accept an assignment in a major city where parking is scarce and public transportation is readily available (New York City, for example), consider leaving your car at home. Med Travelers reimburses the travel expenses to your assignment regardless of how you choose to get there.
Most assignments are 13 weeks, but could range from four to 26 weeks or longer. If there's an assignment you're interested in, contact your recruiter to discuss the full range of options available to you.
Once you commit to an assignment, you will receive a confirmation via email with all pertinent information about your assignment. Your recruiter will then work with you to prepare you for your assignment.
Your credentials, along with your selected start date, are sent to our client (the facility you've chosen). The client then reviews your application and interviews you via a phone call. Your recruiter will prepare you for each step of the hiring process.
Your chances are excellent, especially if your professional discipline is in high demand. Even if we don't have your specific position in the location of your choice, we'll contact facilities in that area, present your credentials and search for assignments. We're not happy until you are.
Yes! AMN happily provides our clinicians with housing options. Our team of territory experts will work diligently to find you safe, clean, quality accommodations within a reasonable commute time of your facility.
We offer two housing choices, allowing them to choose which option works best for their specific needs. If a clinician lives 50 or more miles from their assignment, they can choose company paid housing or a monthly stipend they can use towards their own housing accommodations. Both options are considered to be a part of the clinician's overall compensation package. In addition, if clinicians choose company paid housing, our housing account executives will secure furnished, private housing in a neighborhood close to the clinician's work facility.
AMN Healthcare is pleased to provide standard housing as a helpful alternative to receiving lodging per diem. If you elect to receive provided housing, our team of territory experts will work diligently to find you safe, clean, quality accommodations within a reasonable commute time of your facility.
Yes. If you arrange and pay for your own housing, you will receive a monthly housing stipend or subsidy. The subsidy varies by position and assignment location.
