How often do I get paid?
Our employees asked for it, and we delivered. We now pay weekly. Every Friday. Done!
Back to TopCan I keep PPR’s insurance coverage in between assignments?
Absolutely, we understand that sometimes that is when insurance is needed the most. Ask your recruiter for specifics.
Back to TopWhen does insurance begin?
Most plans get you covered on your first day. You can always ask your recruiter for full details.
Back to TopHow do I find out if a particular prescription is covered?
Visit www.umr.com, you can access prescription information, as well as doctors, dentists and pharmacies in your area.
Back to TopWhen will I receive my insurance cards?
Cards should show up in a couple of weeks. But don’t worry, if you need to see the doctor before the insurance cards arrive in the mail, just ask your recruiter for instructions on how to print out the online temporary cards.
Back to TopWhat if I have a question about insurance?
Give us a call anytime. That’s why we’re here. Your recruiter is always available and he/she can connect you with our insurance experts. Want to talk to the insurance company directly?

Vision call 800.865.3676
What if I prefer a hotel?
Totally cool! It’s easy living. We often set up extended stays and hotels for our travelers. The perk with this housing option is that internet and cable are included, as well as room service.
Back to TopDo I have to arrange for my own utilities?
You don’t have to lift a finger. PPR will set up and pay for your utilities as part of your paid, private-housing package. No really, we’ll wait on hold with those electricity companies so you don’t have to. We got it!
Back to TopWhat living expenses am I responsible for?
We cover the rent, furniture and utilities. If you wish to have cable and/or internet, that would be your only responsibility. PPR will provide you with the carrier for your area ahead of time, so you can get that set up.
Back to TopWhen can I move in?
Our goal is to have you in the Friday before your assignment begins. This can vary based on availability, but we always try our best. This way you can scope out the best restaurants, find your new favorite store, do a practice run to the facility and get familiar with your new digs.
Back to TopWhat housewares are included with my housing?
It’s pretty comprehensive, we provide all the furniture, TV (usually flat screen), all kitchen items, broom, vacuum, bathroom items and even linens. Just pack your clothes and hit the road, we’ve got you covered. Sometimes if we use a private owner this can vary, but we will let you know ahead of time.
Back to TopWhen will my furniture arrive?
Furniture arrives the day we begin the lease, which is usually the Friday before you start. The furniture vendor has a typical 8:00 am – 6:00 pm delivery window. But, you can always move in your things and start getting settled if you arrive before the furniture gets there. And if you are not there yet, the complex leasing office will let them in for you— gotta love those guys.
Back to TopCan I bring my pet?
PPR is a pet-friendly company. We love our pets, and we love yours too! Dogs, cats and birds seem to be the easiest to place. Lions, tigers and bears are… a bit more difficult.
Back to TopCan I earn more money by referring friends to PPR?
We pay $1,000 for every referral that completes a 13-week contract. Unlimited payouts! It’s a great way to get paid for something you already do.
Back to TopWhat other expenses can I be reimbursed for?
Your expenses and costs may vary from assignment to assignment, just check with your recruiter on what we can help with.
Back to TopWill I get reimbursed for my travel expenses?
If you qualify, PPR provides the reimbursement in one lump sum at the beginning of your assignment. Amounts can vary based on travel time, distance, etc… but if you read that right, one lump sum at the BEGINNING of your assignment.
Back to TopWill I be reimbursed for my state license?
We absolutely offer reimbursement. Just make sure you have a good old-fashioned conversation with your recruiter before your assignment begins to make sure that it is covered and/or you qualify. Don’t forget to save those receipts… you’ll need them!
Back to TopWill I get paid if the hospital cancels my shift?
If the hospital cancels your shift and does not offer an opportunity to make up the cancelled shift, PPR will not prorate your housing stipend or per diem (if applicable). The guaranteed hour’s policy varies by facility and assignment, always chat with your recruiter to find out your specific guaranteed hours policy.
Back to TopCan I earn more money by working extra hours?
Sure! Working overtime is a great way to earn extra money, just work with your manager to have any extra hours approved. We also can work with your facility to see if we can make your contract an expanded hour assignment, meaning working 48-hours a week with the option to earn up to double time. Ask your recruiter for details.
Back to TopWhere can PPR get an assignment for me?
PPR has clients, contacts and contracts across the nation! We will be able to help you find an assignment anywhere you are looking to go. Don’t see a job posted there? We will market your profile to hospitals in the area to seek a travel assignment that meets your requirements.

I’ve had the opportunity to spend my entire travel career with PPR. I remember being a year out of nursing school and having the urge to travel, but afraid of the uncertainty. After one assignment, I was a pro. The consistent professionalism, great work ethic, friendliness, enthusiasm and extraordinary teamwork that the group at PPR provides is second to none. In the past 5 years, I’ve taken one agency assignment without using PPR and realized they never met the high expectations that PPR had made me accustom to. PPR has and always will be a part of my family. I love my recruiter, she is a rockstar. Her years at this company says a lot about them. PPR recognizes that if they give exceptional service to their travelers, their travelers will give exceptional service to their patients and clients. I am always proud to tell everyone that I work with PPR. The logo may have changed, but the quality has remained the same. Thank you guys for being so amazing.

It has always been my dream to become a travel nurse, and when the time came to start looking for a recruiting company, I researched a few agencies and came across PPR through an old co-worker who also used them. After speaking to a few different agencies and speaking to my recruiter, I knew right away that PPR was the best fit for me. There was no pressure, everything was explained to me in detail (which made me feel more comfortable) and it all just flowed naturally. Now that I know how the system works and after talking to other traveling nurses, I know I’m getting the top pay and benefits for my specialty. My recruiter and the rest of the staff have made me feel like I matter to them every time we talk. I’ve been traveling for a year now and I’ve been able to work in amazing cities thanks to PPR, and travel to different states and countries, just as I had envisioned myself doing years ago!
