    Transitioning from Travel Nurse to Travel Nurse Recruiter | Atlas All Access #183 - Atlas MedStaff
    One of the questions we get asked all the time is how a travel nurse transitions into becoming a travel nurse recruiter. We decided to go straight to the source and pull in Travel Nurse turned Recruiter, Brad McDonald.

    All this and more on this week's Atlas All Access.
     
    If moving from Travel Nurse to recruiter interests you, you can talk to your recruiter or reach out to Brad for any questions about the process.
