Advantis Rated #2 Employee Experience in Healthcare by MIT

Advantis Medical was recognized by the MIT Sloan School of Management Nursing Satisfaction Index, ranking #2 in the nation for nurse satisfaction among large healthcare employers. While not a traditional award, this prestigious recognition reflects the authentic voices of nurses who’ve worked on the front lines and taken the time to share their experiences.

What sets this honor apart is how it was earned—through the analysis of more than 150,000 nurse-written Glassdoor reviews from across the U.S., evaluating real concerns like toxic culture, compensation, workload, and organizational support.

The outcome? Advantis emerged as a top-tier agency not because of flash or fluff, but because we consistently show up for our nurses where it matters most.

This isn’t just about a ranking—it’s a reflection of how we operate. From the moment a nurse joins our team, we make their experience our priority.

Every department at Advantis is built around a simple principle: put the traveler first. And we have the receipts to prove it—over 700 five-star reviews and 20+ authentic nurse testimonial videos that spotlight the real stories of healthcare professionals who’ve found community, purpose, and support through us.

About the Index

The Sloan School of Management Nursing Satisfaction Index rated the employee experience at 200 large healthcare organizations across the United States, analyzing over 150,000 Glassdoor reviews written by nurses. During this study, four notable themes emerged:

“Toxic culture, organizational support, compensation and workload– emerged as the strongest predictors of how satisfied nurses were with their employer.” – MIT Sloan Management Review

Reviews were collected from March 2020, marking the beginning of the COVID-19 era. This period proved pivotal for healthcare professionals as they assessed their career satisfaction.

According to the American Nurses Foundation, during the two years following the pandemic’s onset, only 19% of nurses under the age of 35 believed their organizations prioritized their well-being.

Our Gold Standard for nurse satisfaction isn’t a tagline—it’s a process that touches every interaction, from onboarding and placement to housing and ongoing support.

At a time when the majority of nurses felt their well-being was not prioritized by employers (American Nurses Foundation), Advantis took a different approach—one rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a true understanding of what it takes to thrive as a travel nurse.

In short, this recognition isn’t just a milestone. It’s a movement—one that proves nurse-first culture isn’t a trend; it’s the future.

The Human Side of Healthcare

The American Nurses Foundation further reports in their COVID-19 Two-Year Impact Assessment Survey that:

“The nursing profession has been under disproportionate stress due to the pandemic and typical hierarchical issues have been heightened.”

Many of Advantis Medical’s current travel nurses, post-acute caretakers, and allied professionals turned to the organization in the aftermath of the pandemic. They sought opportunities that enabled them to maximize their impact while preserving self-care, securing fair compensation, and opting for shorter contracts that offered the flexibility to try out several facilities and take breaks when needed.

At a time when nurse burnout was at an all-time high, Advantis Medical took action by connecting the hospitals and healthcare facilities with the greatest needs to highly skilled nurses specializing in their preferred fields.

The impact was incredible: hospitals across all 50 states received crucial help during critical times, and nurses reported better work-life balance, higher levels of job satisfaction, and the improved ability to provide for themselves and their families through travel assignments.

In light of changing industry dynamics, nurses are using new criteria to evaluate potential employers, including travel staffing agencies. Gone are the days where compensation alone determined a nurse’s choice of employer.

Clinician Testimonials: Advantis Medical Values Nurses

In this particular index, Advantis Medical scored 3.5 standard deviations above the average based on real nurse reviews:

“I have been travel nursing since 2020 and this experience is insurmountable to any travel experience I have had thus far. It isn’t often that people are acknowledged for the things they do and being great at their job.” – Tosha Calthcart, Travel Nurse        

“Having a recruiter that has your needs and wants at the forefront of their agenda means a world of difference…I always brag on the ease of the systems [Advantis Medical] has in place that justify and respect my role as a nurse. I did not have to do any of the extra leg work that I normally have to do with other agencies. I simply had to submit the documents asked, and go to my facility. That’s truly what nurses want.” – Diamond Butler, Travel Nurse

“Advantis Medical was the first agency I worked with as a travel nurse. They sent a beautiful package for nurses week and an amazing gift box to my home address at the conclusion of my assignment – so generous and sweet! Highly recommend this staffing agency to anyone!” – Shannon Blackwell, Travel Nurse
