What specialties does Sunbelt place?

Sunbelt works hard to place all healthcare professionals that come to us. Specialties currently in demand are Critical Care, Emergency Room, Telemetry, Medical/Surgical, Labor and Delivery and Operating Room. Other specialties such as Psychiatric, Mother Baby, Dialysis, and Rehabilitation are placeable but it requires the healthcare professional to be a little more flexible with shift and location. Check out our current travel openings!

What are the minimum requirements?

Hospitals require a minimum of one year of current experience in an acute care setting. Typically, hospitals will not waive this requirement because the need for the travel to be able to step in and adjust quickly to their new surroundings.

Am I under obligation after submitting my application?

No. Your obligation start with a verbal commitment to accept a travel assignment after you have interviewed and it has been offered. Once you agree to the assignment, the hospital stops searching for someone to fill the travel need it has.

Are there any fees associated with placement?

No. You are never charged a fee for placement.

Will someone be available around the clock if I need help?

Absolutely! Sunbelt not only has a 24 hour answering service but we provide all our Healthcare Professionals with their Coordinators cell phone numbers. They can be reached at anytime, day or night to help solve any emergency problems or to answer any questions you might have.
