The teams involved with other aspects are also extremely helpful in streamlining the various processes involved with onboarding for new assignments, such as licensure, credentialing, housing, etc. I have found my experience with CompHealth to be very enjoyable."

“We have had a great experience working with CompHealth. The staff working with us have been very communicative along the journey. It is stressful uprooting your life every few months with so much uncertainty during those transitions. It has been reassuring feeling like you have someone to rely on who is looking out for you.”
Kirk Bennett,

“When you work, you get paid for that work. If you work more than 40 hours, you get paid time and a half for that work. So, if you have a lighter week, that’s great, and you have more time to explore and do other things. You are rewarded for that extra work if you have a heavier week.”
