A friendly reminder that “spring” in Alaska can look a little different ❄️

WMS-contracted provider Michelle H., NP, shared these photos from her assignment in Southeast Alaska, where winter is still holding on well into March. Icicles, snow, grey skies… and even ski days.

If you’re heading north for an upcoming assignment, it’s a good reminder that conditions can stay wintery longer than expected, and travel may still be impacted!

Alaska (and the providers who work there) are built different.

In Southwest Alaska, community extends beyond the clinic walls.

Ashley C., NP, taking a moment to connect with one of the friendliest locals around. These village dogs are part of daily life, and for many providers, small moments like this make assignments even more meaningful.

Rural healthcare is about relationships. Sometimes that includes four-legged ones.

Planning ahead makes all the difference in locum tenens.

Credentialing at a new facility can take up to 90 days, depending on the location and specialty. That means the best time to start exploring your next assignment is often well before you’re ready to go.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a new location, picking up additional shifts, or lining up your next contract, now is a great time to start the conversation.

Reach out to our team today and we’ll help you start planning what comes next.

One of our contracted providers, Sarah Kelley, NP, may have accidentally become a small-animal travel advocate.

When Sarah adopted her bunny, Franklin, it was simply to help combat the isolation that can sometimes come with remote assignments. Franklin eventually became her travel companion, accompanying her to certain assignments when circumstances allowed.

Then airline policies changed.

Instead of quietly accepting it, Sarah started asking questions. Conversations were had, emails were written, and she may have even helped encourage one airline to reconsider parts of their small-animal travel policies.

Every assignment is different and not all locations can accommodate pets, but Franklin’s story is a fun example of how providers find creative ways to make life on the road work.
