"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
That Jane Goodall quote so accurately sums up a lot of behind-the-scenes hard work, sweat, dedication and persistence that our two owners, travelers, managers and entire staff have put into this thing we call “The OneStaff Family” over the last 9 years. We had a vision to create something we saw the Travel Nursing industry needed, and took a chance by going out and creating it. That’s no small task either. Omaha is known in the industry as a hub, of sorts, within a very competitive Travel Nursing industry. An industry that continues to sky-rocket, and get more competitive, due to the demand of qualified nurses needed across the country. To thrive in such a competitive landscape is no easy task. It means we’re doing something right! We do national work, locally, and we’ve had success doing that because of the mindset we’ve kept over those 9 years. Being flexible enough to try and always put our traveling nurses first, as they are at the heart of what we do. Being strategic enough to make smart business moves, efficient enough to “work smarter” and down to earth enough to “play harder” and keep our teams engaged enough to continue to knock out amazing work, daily, and help us all grow together.
As amazing as our quick growth is, we were built on the mindset, and will never forget, that being privately-owned will always be pivotal to who we are. That very factor, of independent ownership, allows us to make business decisions based on the needs of our travelers and talented people and keep that at the heart of who we are and what we do. “When you are publicly traded you don’t answer to your nurses, your employees or anyone else. You answer to your investors. Period.” Said CEO, Jack Swinney, speaking on a panel at the “Healthcare Travelers Take Omaha” conference back in April 2019. To make the national list is great news. Sure, we’re not the only Travel Nursing agency on the national 2019 Inc 5,000 “Fastest Growing Private Companies” list, but if we’re one of those on the top 10 headquartered in Nebraska (full article here), it shows our hard work and dedication is paying off, and we’re making a name for the city (and state) we love.
That all said, apparently, we are making a difference in the industry we love, and we couldn’t do any of that without our clients/MSPs, and our internal and external teams. So, this is a huge shout out to all of you, for having a huge part in this honor. Thank you, all. Much love.
