How do you take an entire company, effectively close down an office, and begin company-wide work-from-home policies overnight? We discuss the hidden benefits working from home brings to our team, and how it allows us the flexibility to communicate with our travelers around their covid-era schedules. We may miss the office and those random coffee chats โ and it's hard to replace those in-person activities โ but there's a lot to be said about the freedom of working from home, or traveling the country with your laptop handy, as many traveling healthcare professionals can attest. Some of the best benefits of working from home include: no commute, improved productivity, working around your schedule, keeping costs down, efficiency and health, and location independence. Find out how your travel healthcare recruiter is still out here working for you, only now we do it fully remote from our homes or the open road. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

Trust your recruiter and your agency. If they've always been there for you, listen to them over the internet noise. We love the Internet! But we also know that while eternal vigilance is the price of freedom (attributed to Thomas Jefferson), replying to a contentious comment thread with a gif of Darth Vader screaming "Noooo" is the price of dealing with internet trolls. Don't trust everything you read online. We've seen waves and tumultuous storms like this in the industry before. And this, too, shall pass. It's just obnoxious while you're on the boat rocking away in the storm โ we get it. Tune in to check out some unfiltered industry insights in this episode of "Atlas All Access". How do you filter out internet trolls? How do you win an internet argument? And what can you do to weather the storm now that jobs are back? Go back to the people and the agency that you trust. You should be able to trust them enough to take something to them you have seen online, and simply ask them, "Is this legit?" They would much rather help you navigate those waters than drift off course because of a persistent troll. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

๐ช At Atlas MedStaff service is the very core of what we do here and military service is something we hold in very high regard. Being that Atlas is certified veteran owned by NaVOBA (National Veteran Owned Business Association), finding out that one of our nurse recruiters was a military veteran is incredibly important to us. So this week on Atlas All Access we talk to Army veteran Alicia Carosella. From running the helicopter landing zone for President Obama to being the first female soldier to serve on the Torkham Border (Torkham is a major border crossing between the Pakistani city of Torkham and Afghanistan), Alicia Carosella has an incredible history of service to our country. Now she wants to serve you as your Atlas nurse recruiter.

What happens when you are a travel healthcare professional and your company disappears? Or goes through a merger? Acquisition? Or any number of business challenges. Is your job safe? Will you even get paid this week? What happens next? These are scary questions for a nurse about to start their shift, potentially working an entire weekend for free. Thankfully, in this episode, we talk about when the stars align and everything works out. Join us as we revisit the Atlas MedStaff asset purchase of Meridian Staffing, and find out what that process looks like from the inside: from a nurse's perspective living through every moment, and from a recruiter's side where they found new opportunities. One thing is for sure, the life of a travel nurse is never boring! Get to know Travel Nurse Recruiter Connor Velvin: ๐ ________________________ Previous Meridian episodes Mergers, buyouts, and acquisitions are pretty common in the travel healthcare staffing industry, but that doesn't make them easier if you are a traveler or an employee of a company going through challenging times.

We love the Toys for Tots program. It's easy to get behind an organization where the entire goal is to spread Christmas Joy to a child. And unlike some organizations, you know that 100 percent of that toy you donate will go to a kid in need. Since it's run by the Marines, your donations go directly back to the kids, not operating costs. This year, our traveling healthcare pros helped make our fifth annual Toys for Tots drive better than ever. We collected more than 2,000 toys that will go directly to the kids. And YOU helped so much. You sent in toys, ordered mountains of gifts, and even contributed cash that we spent for more toys to add to the growing piles. It's an amazing feeling to see the Marines show up to collect the toys and realize they should have brought a bigger truck. And then watch them take multiple trips to haul all those toys away. Thank you for helping to spread some Christmas cheer and joy during a very rough year. Merry Christmas. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

We've decided to have our entire staff remain work-from-home through all of 2020. What does this mean for you? This wasn't an easy decision, but it's the right thing to do. We are incredibly focused on being the support structure to our traveling healthcare professionals. We are here working for you so that you can focus on your patients, on our loved ones, on getting us all through this. Early on during "The-Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named" (that's 2020), we were one of the first travel nurse agencies to make the decision to send our team home to work fully remote. Now we are committing even further to that effort. Our team will work-from-home throughout the rest of the year. Some of us haven't stepped foot in the office since early March! (It's been a weird year.) It's important for us to take care of our team, and that includes our travelers along with our in-house staff. We want to be part of the solution. And if we are pushing to open our office HQ too soon, we run the risk of putting people in danger of contracting Covid-19 or taking up valuable beds that you need. This is why our team will continue to work from home for you. We're here, working for you. We just might be doing it in our pajamas with an ice-cold IPA next to us. ________________________ This is Atlas All Access, your insider's information into the world of travel healthcare professionals.

That amazing job you saw posted on Facebook? The one you think is too good to be true? It probably is. But how can a travel nurse or healthcare pro know? How do you spot the fake posts from the real ones? Join us for an in-depth conversation with Nurse Recruiter Jake Brower and Atlas MedStaff Vice President Rich Smith, as we get right to the heart of the matter. Nothing is left on the table as we dissect the realities behind all those job posts you see on Facebook. What do they mean, and what are those recruiters really trying to do? The best defense against janky job posts on social media? Build a relationship with a recruiter you can trust. Your recruiter should be ok with you sending them a job post you see in the wild, both to ask if it's one they can get for you, and also to trust them enough when they tell you it's likely BS (that's the technical industry term).

Wear a mask. Save a life. It's frustrating to us to see basic science, not to mention healthcare, be turned into a political statement. This is not about that. What we do want to focus on is the importance of wearing a mask. There's a lot of false information out there. So let's go over the facts. What's the truth behind wearing a mask? We've worked with thousands of nurses, techs, therapists, and healthcare professionals around the country, we regularly talk with some of the biggest names in the healthcare industry and some of the most recognized medical facilities in the country โ and they all say you should wear a mask. Healthcare professionals, of course, already know all this. But if you have been trying to find a piece of content to share with a family member that is not political, but does go over the facts of wearing a mask ... well, we hope this helps. Stay safe out there. Wear a mask and protect your fellow man. Look out for each other. ________________________ WHO Myths Wearing a mask causes oxygen deficiency. โข Nope. โข Otherwise nurses and docs who wear masks for 8-12 hour surgeries would collapse. Drinking alcohol prevents the coronavirus. โข No, but nice try. You might feel better about things, though. Hot sauce and hot peppers protect you from getting Covid-19 โข No. Otherwise our ICU nurses would be injecting patients with 10 CCs of Cholula and epi-pens loaded with Tapatio. (Don't inject hot sauce, kids.) 5G causes Covid-19 โข No. โข But it might give you a better mobile signal to research facts from the WHO or CDC. Extreme heat (or cold) kills the virus. โข Also no. Do not blast a blowdryer up your nose. Injecting bleach or cleaning agents stops the virus. โข No. Unless you count that it will kill you. Do not do this. ________________________ , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Here are insights into what to expect, what to plan for, and things you can do now to prep for that wave breaking and jobs opening up. Whether you work with Atlas MedStaff or another travel healthcare agency, this is advice you can plan for and put to work for your own success. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It may feel like things keep shifting whenever you start to get your feet beneath you. We're right there with you. Take a breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Again. That's better. And then remember: the travel healthcare industry has been through this before. The 2008 housing crises and subsequent recession played havoc on a host of industries that were never the same afterward. In this episode of "Atlas All Access", we offer a little perspective in the midst of the 2020 pandemic by reflecting on the lessons we learned out of the 2008 recession. There are many similarities between 2008 and 2020 for the travel healthcare industry. For some of our veterans โ and you longtime nurses โ it may even feel a little eerie. Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest for the trees when you are in the middle of the forest working overtime in full PPE and the lumberjacks refuse to wear flannel because of the zombie bears โ that metaphor may have gotten away from us, but you know what we mean. We will get through this. You got this.

We are passionate about giving back to the Community. Our Co-Founder and President Steve Ryan has gotten connected with a great organization, the Mosaic Group, to do just that. Steve even went to Tanzania with Mosaic to help communities there. Since then, we've been working with them closely to see what else we could do to help this group and their cause. We were touched by how much work they do in Tanzania with only one vehicle for transportation to service all of the people they do in the communities there. Because of this, we are looking to buy them another bus so they can have an even larger impact in the area. Mosaic is based in 11 states and always looking for volunteers. They are open to new ideas and welcome new faces that want to make a difference. , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Are you a fan of NCIS? Our guest this week worked in a crime lab before she became a recruiter. Not only does she share some of her experiences with us, but we also talk shop about this week's haunted asylum โ Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It eventually became known as Weston State Hospital, but a more appealing name cannot cover up what happened inside those walls. Get to know Travel Nurse Recruiter Stacy Paschoal ->
Do you believe in hauntings or do you have to see it to believe it?

Do you believe in hauntings or do you have to see it to believe it? October really snuck up on us, but we have prepared a new series of haunted hospitals and asylums in honor of the Halloween season! Utica State Hospital is a massive facility still standing in Utica, New York. It was one of the first "lunatic asylums" in the state and possibly the US having opened in 1843. Utica State Hospital is known for being haunted (obviously) as well as the home of the infamous utica bed. We also chat about some local, Iowa folklore of the Black Angel. Cheers!
WARNING! Bobby Joe Long's crimes may be the most triggering crimes we have had on the show. Before listening, we suggest you look up Bobby Joe Long's crimes before proceeding.

Welcome to episode 6 of Healthcare Horrors where our hosts, Ashlee Boyce, a Brand Specialist, at Atlas MedStaff, and Alicia Carosella, a recruiter at Atlas MedStaff, talk about the horrors of... well, you guessed it, HEALTHCARE! Only this time, it takes place in Auschwitz - which was nothing short of a horrifying place. Dr. Josef Mengele, born in "GOONS-burg" (Gรผnzburg), near Ulm, Germany was definitely a "goon" in the worst ways imaginable. ESPECIALLY, when it came to experimenting with twins. Take a listen and hear it for yourself. ๐คท
WARNING! - The victims of Genene Jones were babies/children. This episode may NOT be for you. Genene Jones had a rough childhood, BUT that doesn't excuse her for her malpractice against, what is estimated, 60+ children. How? What? Why? Find out in this Healthcare Horrors Halloween special with Hosts Ashlee, Alicia, producer Dolan, and super special guest, our friend Jamie Moore Marsh.
What should you not do if you don't want to get caught after doing something naughty? Googling how to do it _or_, you know, just don't do it at all. Kimberly Saenz was born in the early 70's and had a pretty good childhood. As she became an adult Saenz suffered from substance abuse, poor mental health, and couldn't keep a job. This also led to the divorce of her and her husband and loss of her children. Join us as we discuss the unraveling of Kimberly Saenz's life and the terrible things she started doing at the dialysis clinic she worked at for a very short amount of time. The five murder victims were Clara Strange, Thelma Metcalf, Garlin Kelley, Cora Bryant, and Opal Few. Remember these names as Brand Specialist, Ashlee Boyce and Travel Nurse Recruiter, Alicia Carosella dive deep into the details of this case and try to understand the twisted mind of nurse, Kimberly Saenz.
When the hospitals won't take you anymore, why not just start your own practice as a private nurse? Jane Toppan was actually born as Honora Kelley in Boston, 1857. Her parents were Irish immigrants. After her mother, Bridget, died of tuberculosis and her father, Peter, was admitted to an insane asylum and tried to sew his eyelids shut, Honora and her sisters were split up to different families. Honora was adopted by the Toppan family not as a daughter, but a live-in maid. Due to Irish immigrants getting a bad wrap, the Toppans changed her name to Jane. Clearly, Jane had a rough up bringing and a lot of resentment. She channeled this into experimenting on and killing her patients, landlords, and even her own adopted sister. But do to her "sunny disposition" and the compulsive lies of what a great life she had, Jane Toppan was given the name "Jolly Jane". She was a pleasure to be around and told great stories until you, for some reason, didn't feel good and ended up dead.
There were some rules in the early 1900's when it came to caring for mental patients, but not many. Also, the link between mental illness and the brain was very misunderstood. Walter Freeman was a neurologist in the mid 20th century who wanted to leave behind a great legacy for curing mental illness. He made the history books all right, but not necessarily for doing something great. In this episode we dive into how Freeman got started and how his research led to one of the most infamous treatments of all time, the ice pick lobotomy. Did he really want to cure mental illness or was he blinded by fame?
On this 50th episode of "Healthcare Horrors," we have a guest, Cassidy Pospisil, who is one of our Training and Development specialists here at Atlas. We let her pick the person we talked about. Her choice?ย Petr Zalenka Pronounced "PET-rrr" not "Peter." Towards the middle of the episode we also give an update on Lucy Letby and her finished trial. If you haven't heard our first episode about Lucy Letby, go listen to that episode before you listen to this one. Her story will make your bones shake. If you have been here awhile, stick around to the end of the podcast, where we discuss, after releasing 50 episodes of this podcast, which ones were our favorite stories to tell.ย Stay safe and stay healthy, y'all!

One of the biggest things we have learned from the last 45 episodes of our "Healthcare Horrors" podcast, is that if you are joking about something, there is probably some truth to the joke.

WARNING! This one involves the deaths/murders of infants. If this is a touchy subject, then this episode is not for you.

Have you ever dreamed of being a hero? If so, we suggest you learn from Richard Angelo and don't bring your patients to a near death situation and then "save their lives" right at the last minute.

Tun into this episode of Healthcare Horrors to hear all about it.
We know we're a couple days late for St. Paddy's Days, but it still counts if the beer was recorded before St. Paddy's right?

If you're still in the lucky spirit, tune in to this weeks "A Beer with Atlas" to find out with us. ๐

You aren't fond of the elderly, so you decide to become an RN and work in a retirement home? Yeah... It doesn't make sense to us either. For Arnfinn, it was just bad decision after bad decision, that ultimately landed him 21 years in prison. ONLY 21 YEARS! Listen to this episode of Healthcare Horrors episode, and let us know if it was well deserved or too short of a sentence. He's convicted of 22 murders; We think the latter.
PLAY BALL!!!! It's MLB Spring Training season and what better things pairs with baseball than Hot Dogs and BEER?!?! Not a baseball fan? Not a problem! Rich and Brian talk baseball lingo, what it means, and where some of the phrases originate from.
I think Surly Brewing Company heard the song "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness and had the amazing idea of making this beer.

Okay, we know it's a week late, and we're only halfway kidding, but we hope you had a great Valentine's day.
Jack the Ripper will forever be one of the world's greatest mysteries. There is a lot of speculation that he (or she) was a doctor or medical professional in some degree.

WE went ahead and pulled this from the Maine Beer Co.'s website: "Lunch is a special whale that has been spotted off the Maine coast since 1982. She has what looks like a bite taken out of her fin, which adds to her unique character. We dedicate this beer to her determination and persistence. Keep on swimming!" This beer also shares a fun slogan that our Founder and President Steve Ryan likes to use, "Do What's Right."
Gambling and filing for life insurance is a pretty quick way to get money. PROBLEM! The only way to file for life insurance is... well... Considering this is a podcast about Healthcare's darkest moments, I think we can all take a wild guess on what was going on here and how so many life insurance policies were taken out by 1 person. Listen to find out why William Palmer is this week's "Healthcare Horror."
On this episode of A Beer with Atlas, we partake in some "Chips and Salsa" and talk all about THE BIG GAME! Except, when we say "Chips and Salsa," we're talking about a cream ale brewed by Cogstone Brewing Company out of Colorado. Yes, this beer DOES in fact taste like Chips and Salsa. It has actually won some awards too! Side question: Who do you think is going to win the big game on February 12th? Eagles? Chiefs? Who ya got?
This week we have 2 crowlers of beer from Manitou Brewing Company out of Manitou Springs, CO. The first beer is a Raspberry Porter and the 2nd beer is a Salted Caramel Stout. BOTH BEERS are great for the cold weather... OR, if you are like Brian and Dolan, perhaps they are perfect for ANY WEATHER. Cheers!
This Healthcare Horror? Baby Farming. The perpetrator? Amelia Dyer. If you can't stomach the murders and crimes against infants, then this episode is definitely not for you. We agree, Amelia Dyer is pure evil, and should have never been cleared to work in healthcare.

Shiro Ishii, a Japanese microbiologist and army medical officer, served as a director of a biological warfare unit for the Imperial Japanese Army and is responsible for over an estimated 10,000 deaths from 1937-1945. How? Biological Warfare.

A few weeks back, Rich and his wife traveled to Nashville for the fist time ever and brought a few beers back for us. Since this was his first time in Nashville, he had to phone a friend, Kyle "The Bearded Wonder" Newsome, and ask him where to find the best brewery in town. We imagine the dialogue went a little something like this: Rich - "Hey Kyle, where do I find good beers in Nashville, Tennessee?" Kyle - "There are a few breweries in Nashville, but Southern Grist is the only 'Tenn-I-See.'" Rich & Kyle - "HAHAHAHAHA"

Who's watched "The Good Nurse" on Netflix?ย Did you know that it's based on a true story? On this episode of Healthcare Horrors, we talk all about Charles Cullen. Who, most definitely, is NOT a good nurse.
This episode is the perfect example of why we do the "A Beer with Atlas" podcast here.

This one is recent! As the case unfolds we will follow the alleged murders of Lucy Letby. Letby is a neonatal nurse in the UK who is currently on trial for the murder of 7 babies and attempted murder of 10 more.

Alicia keeps us on track today as we chat about Danvers State Hospital. This is the last installment of our haunted hospitals/asylums for October and travel nurse recruiter, Erica Bradford is our guest! This facility was started with all of the best intentions and implementations for patient success. After being denied state funding, the facility quickly became overcrowded and macabre treatments such as insulin induced coma therapy and straight jackets plummeted its success. Part of this "lunatic asylum" still stands as apartments and the residents respect the ghostly history.
It's Spooky season! Let's kick it off with a pumpkin beer and talk all about scarecrows! Also.... Batman?
Not all ghosts are bad. In 1827 the "inmates" were taken to the Genesee County Poor House against their will and created their own community. Over 1,700 people died on the property, but it sounds like they don't hate their forever home. Would you visit?
This one is a fun one! Especially if you are familiar with the legendary cookie company from St. Louis, Dad's Cookie Co. Listen as Brian and Rich talk about the history of Dad's Cookie Co. as well as the history of smoked beers.ย

Seward is a small town in Nebraska with a population of somewhere just under 10,000 people. Every year, they throw a Fourth of July Festival and it has grown so big, that the town was Federally recognized as "The Fourth of July City." The festival is SO BIG, that over 45,000 people attend each year. ย But it's October, who cares??? ย Well, according to TripAdvisor, when it's not The Fourth of July, Bottle Rocket Brewing is the number 1 thing to do while in Seward, NE. So, to close out our 2022 Oktoberfest series, we're drinking their version of the well-known style, Oktoberfest.
Since he was a kid he believed in UFOs, looked for Bigfoot's footprints around his house, and saw a full body apparition in the hallway. Jason Offutt, author and professor at Northwest Missouri State University, shares his encounters and knowledge of Hillhaven Nursing Home. When the facility first opened in 1923 it was Putnam Memorial Hospital, then it became St. Francis Hospital, Hillhaven Nursing Home, and finally Meadowbrook Nursing Home. This is one of many haunted places in Missouri! For more information on Jason Offutt visit his website:
Week 2 of this year's Oktoberfest episodes takes us to Empyrean Brewing Company in Lincoln, Nebraska. It's there that they brew "Aries Marzen," an Oktoberfest that is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and like it says on the bottle, "conceived under the fiery sign of the ram then cellared all season for Oktoberfest celebration." Then, Brian has some cool stuff about his childhood memories of the brewery and what it has become today.ย Sit back, relax, and crack one open this Oktoberfest season with us!ย
In honor of the Halloween season, the guys from A Beer with Atlas join us with some pumpkin beer! Today, we talk about the Shame of Pennsylvania, more commonly known as the Pennhurst Asylum. This facility began in 1908 and it didn't take long before it was over run with patients which led to inhumane living conditions. Pennhurst is no longer open (thank goodness) and is one of the most haunted destinations in the US. Would you visit?
Cheers to our first episode of Oktoberfest this year! ๐ป ย Yupp, you read that right, OKTOBERFEST IS BACK and we're kicking off the first episode of this 3 part series with Minnesota's finest, Surly Brewing Company.

Listen to the new song "Stars on the Ceiling" by Stealing Oceans Feat. Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers as we talk to Brian Thompson, the mastermind behind Stealing Oceans. ย He is also one of the masterminds behind brewing this blueberry beer with Shipyard Brewing Company that is based on a beer study by a German scientist about how music can change the composition of the beer as well as enhance the taste of the beer while listening to certain music. We and Total Wine & More loved the concept, so we drank it and Total Wines is selling it in all 250 stores. ย Shout out to Brian from #StealingOceans and his team for providing the beer, the music, and all of the good times.
Episode 25 Achievement Unlocked! Today, we are doing the things with Aaron Biddle, Atlas MedStaff's Director of Training, who is remoting in to talk about Dr. Jack Kevorkian. At the beginning of his career, Jack was not afraid to question things taboo, grim, or "icky" in the medical field. His caring, yet outlandish way of thinking led to his interest in physician assisted suicide and the creation of his death machines. Was his way of thinking that far off? Was he a murderer? If your quality of life is declining, is seeking a doctor's help to end your life terrible?
Operation Flytox is in full effect! In today's episode of Healthcare Horrors we welcome one of Atlas MedStaff's star recruiters, Elyse Woods. Elyse remotes in through the power of the internet which allowed us to also record video which can be found on YouTube. ย Marcel Petiot was very ambitious in the world of schemes and murder. At a very young age he was a trouble maker that under went psychic evaluation and was diagnosed mentally unstable. After serving in WWI he was able to get his medical degree through an accelerated medical program which opened the door to more schemes and murder. Then during WWII he started Operation Flytox. Was he a member of the French Resistance and killing the German enemies or was he just taking advantage of France's turmoil to commit murder?
Help! How do you pronounce "Haandbryggeriet?" Unlike the beer, that is not a Dad Joke.ย Listen to this week's episode of "A Beer with Atlas," while the guys struggle to pronounce "Quentin tarantino," but still get through their research on the brewery AND a Quentin Tarantino movie.ย - No spoilers on which one though... You gotta listen to find out! ;Pย
Here is another beer representing Dallas, TX, and our local Atlas office in the area. Blue Raspberry Sucker Punch, a fruited sour brewed by 3 Nations Brewing Company, is brewed SO BLUE, that just the visual can sucker punch you into next week! Listen to this week's episode, as we dodge punches with every drink, and talk about Robert Van Winkle A.K.A "Vanilla Ice" who happened to grow up not too far from this brewery.
Welcome to Healthcare Horrors! On special today: a cheeseburger with a side of arsenic. Mmmm! Donald Harvey never felt like he was in control of his life. He had a rocky childhood due to sexual abuse and a few head injuries. It was eventually murder that made him feel like he was in control and couldn't get the taste out of his mouth. Harvey was a hospital orderly/nursing assistant who eventually adopted a Neo-Nazi, German alias and was into the occult.
This Washington D.C. solar-powered beer comes to us from our favorite namesake, Atlas Brew Works. Yes, we know, WE HAVE done a beer from this brewery before, but this time, we scored a Damn good IPA... No, really... the beer is called "Damn Good IPA," and boy does it live up to its name.ย 2 Fun Facts: 1. This beer was only sold to their beer members. 2. None of us beer gurus at Atlas MedStaff are members. So how did we get this beer? Listen and find out!ย
Wanna hear Brian drink a beer and recite a poem by William Butler Yeats? - hehe "YEETS" This Hazy IPA came to us from the Boston, MA / Portland, ME meet and greet that we had a while back. The super funny thing about it is that this beer is actually from Portland, OR. They just distribute their beer to Massachusetts and one of our recruiters Cough Braden Boex Cough Cough grabbed it on accident thinking it was locally brewed in Maine. But as Rich says, "I will drink any beer you put in front of me," that's exactly what happens on this episode of A Beer with Atlas.
Born in 1953 in Stockholm, Sweden. Outside of his murders, that's all we know about "Doctor" Teet Haerm. Warning: If you have a weak stomach, this probably isn't for you. Strangled victims, necrophilia, and cannibalism are all mentioned in this episode.

H. Holmes.
Ever wonder what the original Sunday Paper was called and when it first appeared?

One of our Travelers and her husband came down to our Arizona meet and greet about a month ago, and gave us a beer.

Week 4 of drinking Non-Alcoholic beers just so happens to land on 4/20. So, we decided we should "Dank" it up a little bit with another Non-Alcoholic IPA from Wellbeing Brewing Co. BUT, even with the added flavor, we're still staying sober for the drug test we will take for our next travel nurse assignment. ;) If someone handed us this beer and told us that it's just a regular IPA, we would believe them. That is just a little bit about how well this beer kept its flavor through the removal of alcohol in the brewing process.

Brian is dry for a while, and we understand that a lot of our health-conscious travelers might not drink either. Guess what!?!?

Sometimes the path to becoming a travel nurse can start from time spent in school where you just happen to be a former student for your future recruiter. This is the path that happened between Travel Nurse Cassandra and her Atlas MedStaff recruiter Allison Andrews. Cassandra was a strong student while Allison was teaching and she remembered that. So when the time came for placing someone in some really good locations, this former traveler couldn't help but think of her former student.

Don't like honey? Don't like Peanut Butter? Well, then this podcast isn't for you. You should definitely keep scrolling. KIDDING! Even if you don't like those things, I'm sure this craft beer & travel nursing based podcast has enough variety, banter, and fun facts to keep most of you interested.

Who knows, you might learn something pretty cool! ย

What set Katie and Cameron on their travel adventure?ย Answer: A Cold Call.

After listening, head over and listen to some Healthcare Horrors... you know... if you're into that kind of thing. :P
Beverley Allitt is a different kind of evil. She is being detained at Rampton Secure Hospital in Nottinghamshire for the murder of 4 children. Warning: We do go into some detail about the child murders. If that doesn't sound like something you can stomach, keep scrolling. We probably have something else here for you. The scary part is... she is eligible for release after 2023. They say she isn't likely to get released... but what if??? ๐คท
WARNING! This episode is explicit. If you know what a Merkin is, you know why!ย Now that the warning is out of the way, we just want to express how much, if you're a listener of the show, you don't want to miss this week's episode! This is Rich and Dolan's first vertical, and Brian hits us with some super cool knowledge about the band Velvet Underground. OH! - AND we learn about Merkins.
HUGE shoutout to Co-Founders, Sean Boisson and Matthew Rohrs, of Bella Snow for sending us this week's Soft Ales! What's a Soft Ale? From their Website: "A Soft Ale is a low-alcohol, low-calorie beer. Brewed for those choosing to take a walk on the lighter side, but still want a full bodied beer." It's a new style of beer at just 2.4% ABV. It's like a session ale's session. Listen and learn more about Bella Snow!
Headache? Starve yourself. Stomach Ache? Starve yourself. Any sort of sickness under the sun? Starve yourself. This is exactly the treatment "Doctor" Linda Hazzard would give ALL of her patients. Tune in to this episode of Healthcare Horrors to find out how Linda AKA "The Starvation Doctor" got away with starving people to death. As our Co-Host/Recruiter, Alicia Carosella, says "This might be the best ending/fates out of all the horrifying people we have talked about on the show so far."

This week, on Healthcare Horrors, your favorite Healthcare, true-crime podcast, We leave Italy and head to Poland to learn about a "special" ambulance crew made up of two paramedics and two doctors. This crew, and many others like them, find and exploit a slimy way to make money off the death of others. These types of criminals were dubbed by the media as "Skin Hunters." How did it work? What was the incentive? Listen and find out!
We have been searching for a North Dakota beer to feature on the show for quite some time. Thanks to our Brand Content Editor, Gary Darling, we were able to get, drink, and enjoy Fargo Brewing Company's "Wood Chipper IPA." Take a listen to this week's episode to find out if Atlas MedStaff's Beer trio enjoys this hoppy beer as well as learn about some "Fargo Fun Facts" As Brian called it. One of those facts being "You can't fall asleep with your shoes on." ๐คฃ - Yes... This is a real thing. ย
Flight nurse and friend, Aaron Highfill sent us our first New Hampshire beers from Woodstock Inn Brewery. "Autumn" - Seasonal Ale "Mosaic" - Pale Ale "Pig's Ear" - Brown Ale Yes. "Pig's Ear." No. It's NOT brewed with Pig Ears... Although... Rich, Brian, and Dolan would probably drink it on the show if you sent it in. ๐คฃ "Weird Beers" are not alien to them! Speaking of Aliens... On this episode, Brian tells a crazy-fun and unexplainable alien story that some believe true. ๐ฝ๐ธ๐ฝ๐ธ Are these beers really "Out of this World?" Listen and find out!
What is going on in Italy? How can this nurse still be free? What do you mean that the "Facts don't stand up?" Daniela Poggiali, the Italian Angel of Death, is accused to have potentially killed 93 people during her time as a nurse. Her weapon of choice? Potassium Chloride.ย Fun Fact: The case is still ongoing. - Give this shorter episode of Healthcare Horrors a listen to get caught up and in the loop in the twisted world of Daniela.
We're back in Alaska trying the Astro Phuzz Hazy IPA and chasing it with a Double Phuzz! Listen and see what Rich, Brian, and Dolan think about these Hoppy punches brewed by Matanuska Brewing Company.

Why not go there on your next assignment? OR AT LEAST get it down on your bucket list. Sip you next week!
It's Thanksgiving and we can't be more GRATEFUL for this RED. "Grateful Red," a red ale from Kenai Brewing Company, is what we're drinking this Thanksgiving. By the looks of the can and the obvious name, we are going to go out on a limb and assume that the head brewers might be Grateful Dead fans or "Deadheads" as they would say.
Ashlee: "What are you even doing?" Alicia: "This is what happens when you graduate from medical school having performed less than 100 surgeries..." Christopher Duntsch, a "spine surgeon," did exactly that, and unfortunately, due to his lack of honesty and actual surgeon skills, many people fell victim.ย
๐ค This week on Atlas All Access, Kurt Chase returns to the home office to discuss what's going on in the Lone Star state. Exciting things have been happening in the Dallas office and Kurt shares with Rich some of the differences there are in establishing a new Atlas MedStaff office in the Texas region. So throw on your cowboy boots, your big, shiny belt buckle, and your 10-gallon hat, and listen to what things are in store as we expand to another market on this week's Atlas All Access.
From the Can:
"This is a truly original collaboration between The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation and participating breweries (1 per state) with all proceeds to benefit children who are battling cancer. The NPCF funds collaborative research in hospitals across the nation to fast trackless toxic, more targeted treatments that are saving many children's lives. So, raise a brew and enjoy. Because every beer helps raise money and hope for these courageous kids."
That's exactly what the Beer crew here at Atlas is doing. Rich dives into how a traveling pediatric nurse led him into starting Atlas MedStaff.
Shout out to Kros Strain for being part of such a great cause! If you want to participate, find the brewery that made the recipe in your state and make the purchase. :) - http://brewingfundsthecure.org/

SIKE! Oktoberfest is NOT over... - Okay, maybe it is. BUT when it come to @StubbornGermanBrewingCompany, Oktoberfest never ends!

What should you not do if you don't want to get caught after doing something naughty? Googling how to do it or, you know, just don't do it at all.
Kimberly Saenz murdered not one, not 2, but 5 people by the injection of a bleach solution. How did she get away with it in the first place? Why did so many people die before she got caught?
The five murder victims were Clara Strange, Thelma Metcalf, Garlin Kelley, Cora Bryant, and Opal Few. Remember these names as Brand Specialist, Ashlee Boyce, and Travel Nurse Recruiter, Alicia Carosella dive deep into the details of this case and try to understand the twisted mind of nurse, Kimberly Saenz.
It's the last Oktoberfest episode for A Beer With Atlas and we're drinking an original Oktoberfest beer all the way from Munich that has been brewed since 1397.
Included with Spaten Franziskaner Brau's Oktoberfest, we will be drinking their premium lager as well as their DoppelBock. If we're doing the math right, that's 3 beers in one episode! How else should we be finishing the Oktoberfest season?

When the hospitals won't take you anymore, why not just start your own practice as a private nurse?
Jane Toppan was actually born as Honora Kelley in Boston, 1857. Her parents were Irish immigrants. After her mother, Bridget, died of tuberculosis and her father, Peter, was admitted to an insane asylum and tried to sew his eyelids shut, Honora and her sisters were split up to different families. Honora was adopted by the Toppan family not as a daughter, but a live-in maid. Due to Irish immigrants getting a bad wrap, the Toppans changed her name to Jane.
Clearly, Jane had a rough up bringing and a lot of resentment. She channeled this into experimenting on and killing her patients, landlords, and even her own adopted sister. But do to her "sunny disposition" and the compulsive lies of what a great life she had, Jane Toppan was given the name "Jolly Jane". She was a pleasure to be around and told great stories until you, for some reason, didn't feel good and ended up dead.
๐ฐ Just when you thought Rich would never allow Braden back into the recording studio, they both are back from their trip to Las Vegas to talk about TravCon 2021.
With TravCon 2021 done and gone, RIch and Braden take a look at what we can expect from Atlas MedStaff going forward with TravCon and Rich has an exciting announcement that pertains to just that.
They also discuss what are some of the bigger concerns in the industry today including compliance and vaccine requirements.
Also, stick around past the credits to finally get Rich's opinion on whether a hot dog is a sandwich or a taco. You will be surprised. I was.
Well it's October and that means Oktoberfest. The guys jump into the festivities with two offerings this week. In the first of three Oktoberfest specials, the guys tackle a Festbier from Cosmic Eye Brewing and a Drunkel Tim from Briler Brewing Company.
So grab your lederhosen, a nice cold one, and listen to some traditional German music to get ready for this weeks "A Beer with Atlas."
There were some rules in the early 1900's when it came to caring for mental patients, but not many. Also, the link between mental illness and the brain was very misunderstood.
Walter Freeman was a neurologist in the mid 20th century who wanted to leave behind a great legacy for curing mental illness. He made the history books all right, but not necessarily for doing something great. In this episode we dive into how Freeman got started and how his research led to one of the most infamous treatments of all time, the ice pick lobotomy. Did he really want to cure mental illness or was he blinded by fame?
This week, the guys take the plunge and tackle three beers from the Allagash Brewing Company from Portland, Maine founded by Rob Tod and purchased by Braden Boex.
Listen as the guys talk about the beer, what is the best thing to pair with each beer (besides the Stout,) and discuss some of the retro style products you can purchase from the Allagash featured collections.
What is it with England? There has been a lot of creepy stuff happening over there that sunshine probably will not be able to fix.
We kick off the spooky season with one of England's most prolific serial killers from the early 20th century, Harold Fred Shipman, also known as Dr. Death. He primarily killed elderly women by overdosing them with diamorphine and was notorious for altering his victim's death certificate/health records to fit whatever diagnosis or cause of death he saw fit in order to avoid suspicion.
Shipman's number of victims is estimated to be around 250 people which hits the scope of a natural disaster. Was it his dying mother that caused him to do the things that he did? Did he hate women?
Join us for Episode 1 of Healthcare Horrors and stay safe everyone. Happy October!

Back in July, before we canceled Meet and Greets for 2021, we were hanging out with a group of our travelers in the RINO district of Denver, CO. While there, one of our travelers, Courtney Figucia, thought that it would be cool to do an on-location episode of "A Beer with Atlas. THIS is that episode.
Rich, Dolan, and "Not Brian" (Courtney), decide that Ratio Beerworks looked like the coolest spot on the block to set up and order a Carrot Saison called "King of Carrot Flowers." If you listen to the show much, you would know that Dolan and Rich aren't big fans of most Saisons or Farmhouse Ales... so how does this one pan out? Listen and find out! :)

Travel Nurse Recruiter, Braden Boex brought back 3 "Dad Beers" from the Portland, Maine area Meet and Greet we hosted awhile back. On this episode, we finally drink them while discussing the comedic stereo types of being a Dad. You might wanna put the lawn mower away, change out of your jorts, grab a beer, and find your favorite recliner for this one!
Where do you start? This is a question that comes up a number of times.
We chat with Braden Boex, Atlas recruiter, about where you should start, what you should be doing, and the steps along the way.
After that, we get into some other fun stuff on this episode of Atlas All Access.

๐ช At Atlas MedStaff service is the very core of what we do here and military service is something we hold in very high regard.

Every company has a marketing department. This applies to our industry too. We, at Atlas Medstaff, utilize our "marketing department" just a little bit differently. Rich brings in in long-time Atlas Fam and Director of Brand Experience, Matt Loughran, to talk all the details on how we use our "marketing department" to ensure that every Travel Nurse and Travel Allied Healthcare Pro has the best experience they can with us on or off an assignment.

A good friend of ours, Terry Schrank, went on a quick vacation to Hendricks, MN. While there, he checked Trip Advisor to try to find some fun things to do. Trip Advisor said Bank Brewing Company is the No. 1 thing to do out of 1 thing to do. So... Terry's decision was pretty easily made. He went to the taproom and brought us back some pretty tasty beers. Stick around for Brian's Bonus Beer!

Oysters are liked by many. Beer is liked by most. So, what happens when you combine the two?
In this episode, we visit HenHouse Brewing Company's "Oyster Stout" brewed with whole oysters from Hog Island, CA. While we sip on this shelfish-y beer, Brian dives into some Hog Island history, shellfish facts, and a little bit about the process of brewing beers with oysters. If you're in the area, we recommend you try this one for yourself to get the full ocean experience that this beer packs.

Dave's not here, man.
But our Beer Crew is in the house with the stuff. The good stuff: a Peach and Chong sour from Barn Town Brewing that evokes a peach cobbler pastry. Um? Yes.
Special guest Atlas MedStaff COO Steve Seitner joins us as we chat about this midwest brewer based in Des Moines, Iowa. Dive into the smokey haze of Cheech and Chong trivia with us as we discuss their history, movies, music, and their preferred medicine of choice.
Get the 411 on the 420 for this craft beer as we 187 a couple cans of this brew.
NOTE FROM OUR LAWYERS: You are required to have a drug test before any travel healthcare placement. C'mon, man, be cool. (We're paraphrasing that last part.)

Right on the bottle of this beer it reads: "If you have set foot in our Moline, IL Brewpub any time in the last 20+ years, you may have noticed The Mask of Celuluk hanging above our brew house and looking over the bar and dining room. He was there when we brewed the very first batch of Uncommon Stout and still watches over the brewing process to this day..."
If that doesn't peak your interest, IDK what will.
Dolan, Rich, and Brian dive into some Coffee stories and a little history on the area (The Quad Cities) that this Oatmeal/Coffee Stout comes from. Big Thanks to Recruiter, Mark Lau ( https://atlasmedstaff.com/atlas-team/mark-lau/ ) for giving us this beer to review!

Join us as we dive into the Deftones, music, and craft beer.
This week, our Beer Crew is trying The Phantom Bride, which โ after double-checking is not an unofficial sequel to "The Phantom Menace" โ turned out to be a Deftones-themed beer from Belching Beaver.
The Belching Beaver not only sounds like a great name for a pub, but it's also a brewery that has done other collabs with Deftones in the past.
We discuss their music, the albums, trivia around "Chino" Moreno, and songs from KOะฏN, Caroline Polacheck, and even Mike Shenoda of Linkin Park.
The band may be from Sacramento, but this brew comes out of San Diego. Still, this California combo definitely has its own musical flavor.
Cheers.

If someone told you they were going to serve you "Omnipollo ice creamy white chocolate mango" what would you guess they are going to give you?
Surprise! It's a triple IPA craft beer from Omnipollo brewing in Sweden. Rich found this dessert beer gem in Colorado and brought it back for our Beer Crew to try.
Is it a snack? Is it ice cream? Does it count for your food-pyramid-required-fruits-and-vegetables for the day? (We vote yes.)
We dive into white chocolate, mangos, and Mango (the SNL character played by Chris Kattan), not to be confused with Mongo from Blazing Saddles.
This beer is all over the place. It's an absolute cacophony of strangeness. And it kind of works.
What's the strangest beer you have found or tried?
Let us know!
Side Note: "Mongo's Horse Punch" would be a great name for a craft beer. Brewers, call us.

Celebrate St. Patrick's day by diving into some rich beer history with us alongside some rich beers ... with Rich!
The Beer Crew makes "Black and Tans" with a pale ale on the bottom and a traditional stout on top (usually Guinness or Murphy's). We talk about the history of the drink and how you only order a "half and half" in Ireland.
And we celebrate St. Paddy's with some Snakebite beers and a literal history of snakebites in Ireland. Not to sound too clickbaity, but the truth might surprise you!
Basically, these are excuses to pour a stout into another drink, and we are here for it.
Here's to a bit o' the luck of the Irish sticking with us all through the new year. Cheers!

WELCOME TO THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT SLAM!
We took our Beer Crew and threw them into the ring with nothing but a pile of empty IPA bottles, a steel chair, a 2x4, and a bag that may or may not have a snake in it. Who will win!?
The big winner here is this Steve Austin Broken Skull IPA from El Segundo Brewing Co. in California.
Inspired by wrestling and this beer's eponymous namesake, we chat all things wrestling from the WWF days through WWE and WCW. Ric Flair, the Steiner Brothers, Shawn Michaels, Hacksaw Jim (Hooooo!), Hulk Hogan, and more. If they wielded a piece of lumber, furniture, or reptile in the ring, we talk about them.
Dive into our barbed wire trivia discussion, which, you would think a crew in Nebraska would know a little more about. No worries, we'll get a roll of it and wind it around Steve Ryan's truck to prepare it for 2020 TWO: The Revenge of Quarantine (Please be joking).
Join us for a beer and a chat!
We can't say we're gonna whoop your ass (because, legally, our lawyers advised against it), but we do open up a can of this IPA and would definitely recommend it.
That's the bottom line, because A Beer With Atlas says so. (And because we're out of beer.)
Cheers!
(Side Note: I've been to the barbed wire museum, and it was actually pretty dang cool.)

This week, we join the mile-high club with a beer from Estes Park, Colorado.
This Enos Pils from Rock Cut Brewing comes to our Beer Crew by way of Rich Smith who picked it up in Colorado.
We talk about the history of Estes Park (an Atlas favorite), Enos Mills (the guy the beer is named for), and ... other things.
Brian digs into the random trivia hard drive to pull out all of the factoids you've been demanding to know about Rocky Mountain Oysters. You know, Canadian Meatballs. Huevos del Torro. Or, as they are known colloquially in some regions: Dusty Nuts.
Cheers.
(I feel like I owe Brian $5 or something for losing a bet since he got me to type out "Dusty Nuts".)

Kung Pao Cฬถhฬถiฬถcฬถkฬถeฬถnฬถ Beer?
We know what you're thinking. Someone was brave enough to combine Chinese food into a craft beer. FINALLY! Now you don't have to make your ramen noodles with Pabst anymore (#PBRnoodles).
There's got to be a better way! And now there is!
This unique blend of flavors is brewed to taste like Kung Pao sauce. We chat about the history of Kung Pao chicken in America, the rise of Sriracha as a dominant hot sauce, and how Stillwater Artisanal has been making a name for themselves with unique craft blends.
Brewed with chili powder, ginger, Sichuan pepper, sea salt, and peanut extract, this is one that has to be tried to believe.
So does this motley blend of spices and cultures work? Well, Stillwater Artisanal has been awarded the No. 2 slot for "Best New Brewer in the World" by Ratebeer.com, and ranks in the global 100 list. Not shabby. We do love an underdog.
Cheers.

Who's the best Lil' Buddy?
This week, we dive into the "lil buddy" micro-brew micro-can from Hopewell Brewing Co. out of Chicago.
While this littlest of buddies and beverage sidekicks only comes in a snackable 8-oz can, it's full of the peppy can-do attitude of yesteryear.
In fact, all of Hopewell's can art designs designs lean toward vintage 50's and 60's art styles, reminiscent of white-walled tires, bowling alleys, Formica counter-tops at the local diner, Howdy Doody and perhaps a pinch of Captain Kangaroo.
Sit back with a Lil Buddy or your favorite beverage of choice, and enjoy the vibe of having a brew with friends while the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall" plays in the background. (If you go back to the lyrics on that one, it reads a bit like he's social distancing during a pandemic. Just sayin'.)
Cheers.

Hey you! We love spending time together over a good brew. And we wish you were here as we grab this Belgian Style Sour Ale aged in oak barrels with raspberries.
This week, we have a sour ale that is infused with equal parts raspberries and Pink Floyd, coming to you from Beachwood Blendery out of Long Beach, California.
Try this brew straight from the can, in a pint glass, or in a saucerful of secrets and lap it up like animals and dogs. We're not sure how much we can take before we hit the wall, but who are we to meddle with a good craft brew? We've had a few momentary lapses of reason after recording four "Beer With Atlas" episodes back-to-back, but we have high hopes this brew will keep you fueled and on the run.
Got a favorite craft brew or Pink Floyd story? Something that helped you feel fearless through 2020? Speak to me. Tell us in the comments and we'd love to hear from you. Seriously. Is this thing on? Is there anybody out there?
One of these days we'll be able to get back together and have a beer in person. But please pace yourself. Don't shotgun every beer you see. Mind your throats, please. Don't waste good beer. Until then, it's just us and them, you and Atlas. But we're ready for it!
When we can get together again, we'll run like hell to meet up and cover the tab until we're all comfortably numb โ in a good way.
Cheers.

2021 is just beginning, but we can finally see the back of our office beer fridge as we clear it out to pour one out (or 12) for 2020.
Putting the previous year behind us is easier from a comfortable platform and with a good cigar, which is why we have two brews from Platform Beer Co. out of Cleveland, a "Froot Hoops" and a "Caramelicious"; then we finish it off with an "Oatmeal Raisin Cookie" from Cigar City Brewing.
Cold beers with friends, a sense of hope in the air, the vaccine rolling out, and a salute to a wild year โ not a bad way to start 2021.
Got a favorite beer that helped you through 2020 โ or is helping you through the beginning of 2021? Let us know in the comments.
Cheers.

In the quest to find the perfect craft beer to Drown Out 2020, we make a strategic decision: drink everything in the Atlas HQ Beer Fridge.
This week we have an "Open Door IPA" from Dempsy's Brewing Co in Watertown, South Dakota, a "Beer for Tacos" (we're sold) from Rockwell Beer Co out of St. Louis, and a "Byrd Up" brew from Off Color Brewing in Chicago.
This hat trick of brewskies is hitting across the marks of the Midwest. Not a bad trio if you can manage it.

It's the new year! Join our beer crew as we continue to Drown Out 2020 with the most sacred annual tradition: cleaning out the Atlas HQ Beer Fridge.
This week we have a "Brewers Darkside" from New Jersey Beer Company, a "Double Pumpkin" from Hoppin' Frog Brewery out of Akron, and an "Almond Torte" from Platform Beer Company.
Sounds like we have a full three-course meal here.

What's the best way to drown out 2020? By honoring the sacred tradition of clearing out our office beer fridge.
This week we highlight a Skyway Saison from New Jersey Beer Co., the Famous Golfer, a brew by Cosmic Eye Brewing from Lincoln, Nebraska, and then we round it out with a Fest Bier by 4 Hands Brewing out of St. Louis.
2020 has had its ups and downs (and then more downs), but nothing beats a good time hanging out with friends over a cold drink.
We hope your new year kicks off with a great start โ and if that start is quiet and uneventful at home while you knock back a few and binge-watch Netflix, what's wrong with that? Sounds relaxing to us.
Cheers.

This Peppermint Porter from Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. is designed for relaxing by an open fire.
While the name may at first seem like the Bizarro version of Tony Stark's gal Friday Pepper Potts, we can assure you this bourbon barrel-aged brew is one Stark would've enjoyed during the holidays (before Iron-Man #120).
This holiday season, we encourage you to have a digital beer with your friends. Zoom, FaceTime, Discord โ whatever โ enjoy your friends, good times, and good conversation. Cheers.

While we can't gather 'round the warmth of the hearth together for a Christmas party this year, this mini keg from Breckenridge Brewing will do in a pinch.
A more festive ale, Breckenridge describes this one as having flavors of chocolate and caramel that are cultivated in the malt roasting process.
This annual brew release is sure to please the biggest craft beer stickler on your list this season. And if you're a healthcare traveler on the go, you can't go wrong with a personal keg at home.
May your spirits be positive, your covid tests negative, and may the new year be merry and bright to all of you. Cheers.

We love the Toys for Tots program. It's easy to get behind an organization where the entire goal is to spread Christmas Joy to a child.
And unlike some organizations, you know that 100 percent of that toy you donate will go to a kid in need. Since it's run by the Marines, your donations go directly back to the kids, not operating costs.
This year, our traveling healthcare pros helped make our fifth annual Toys for Tots drive better than ever. We collected more than 2,000 toys that will go directly to the kids.
And YOU helped so much. You sent in toys, ordered mountains of gifts, and even contributed cash that we spent for more toys to add to the growing piles.
It's an amazing feeling to see the Marines show up to collect the toys and realize they should have brought a bigger truck. And then watch them take multiple trips to haul all those toys away.
Thank you for helping to spread some Christmas cheer and joy during a very rough year. Merry Christmas.

Nothing decks our halls quite like a six-pack of good craft beer and great conversation with friends.
This week, we kick off the Christmas season with a festive Christmas Ale made in the Scotch tradition from Bell's Brewery out of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Another brew by Bell's, "Two Hearted Ale", won the Best Beer in America award through the American Homebrewers Association in 2020. So they know a thing or two about brewing a fine craft beer.
We can't go as far as saying this beer is the best beer in America, but we can say it did plenty to help make our day a little more merry and bright.
Even if you are fully digital this season, raise a glass in a toast with friends and family as you have a chat around the "fire" of your LED monitors. Zoom and a beer with good friends isn't a bad way to spend part of the holiday season.
Raise a beer and celebrate peace on earth, goodwill toward men, and bottomless drafts. Cheers.

How do you take an entire company, effectively close down an office, and begin company-wide work-from-home policies overnight?
We discuss the hidden benefits working from home brings to our team, and how it allows us the flexibility to communicate with our travelers around their covid-era schedules.
We may miss the office and those random coffee chats โ and it's hard to replace those in-person activities โ but there's a lot to be said about the freedom of working from home, or traveling the country with your laptop handy, as many traveling healthcare professionals can attest.
Some of the best benefits of working from home include: no commute, improved productivity, working around your schedule, keeping costs down, efficiency and health, and location independence.
Find out how your travel healthcare recruiter is still out here working for you, only now we do it fully remote from our homes or the open road.

'Tis the season to be thankful, and we have a four-pack of Thanksgiving goodness featured in this episode of "A Beer With Atlas."
Taking queues from multiple Thanksgiving flavors, we have a Beet Weiss from Crane Brewing Company, Thor's Cider Cranberry Sauce, Old Bakery Beer's Carrot Cake Brown, and Clown Shoe's Pecan Pie Porter for dessert.
In a normal Thanksgiving celebration year, you would probably be surrounded by family and then toast the afternoon away with a few beers of your own โ particularly to drown out that uncle who has never met a conspiracy theory he didn't love (you know the one).
This year, while you socially distance at home, we encourage you to join our crew for some fun and a good chat over a couple of cold ones.
Cheers.

We've climbed a mountain or two of beer challenges in our day, but we've never tackled a craft beer like this "Theory of Chaos" brew from Chaos Mountain Brewing.
Dropping in at a hefty 18% alcohol content, this beer is the strongest we've ever featured on the podcast.
This hardcore brew may not leave us quaking At The Mountain of Madness (anyone?), but a few of these may lead you to believe you can solve chaos theory on a bar napkin.
Shout out to Atlas recruiter Ronnie Robinette who found this gem in Roanoke, Virginia, and immediately thought of sending it to the boys at the home office โ whether out of joy or revenge, we're still not sure.

Krispie Cakes takes everything you love about Rice Krispies Treats and smashes it into a craft beer. It's a combination you didn't know you needed until you try it.

It's been a tumultuous year for our industry and our front line healthcare workers. But traveling healthcare professionals should take heart knowing the industry as a whole is still growing.

While some think of Pumpkin Spice when the fall arrives, our Beer Team Six (there's only three of them) thinks of Oktoberfest.
But, through the magic of mixology, inventive brewers, and ideas that seem great at 2 a.m., someone has made a pumpkin beer that combines elements of your favorite seasonal latte and a hard craft beer. (Can we get one with caffeine?)
Does it work?
Strap on your Ugg Boots, grab a pint, and join us in a toast to the fall as we try this new craft beer from O'Fallon Brewery. Cheers.

โIt's Halloween; everyone's entitled to one good scare.โ ๐
Does it feel like 2020 has been one long horror movie to anyone else? Pandemic or no pandemic, we are still excited to celebrate the holiday of to end ~spooky season~, Halloween! Did you know tonight is one of six full moons in the 21st century that will fall on Halloween night? Now THATโS scary! Weโre certainly thinking of all of our night nurses tonight. Hopefully, someone will be bringing some tasty treats to your floor!
Unfortunately, our movie/TV podcast, โAtlas: Now Streamingโ will be ending. But to help celebrate All Hallows' Eve and end things on a high note, we have a fun and spooky episode for tonight. We sat down with six of our employees and talked about our favorite movie genre. We discussed the infamous horror movie remake, what we love most about the genre, and of course, our favorite scary movies. We hope you enjoy this one, but you might want to keep the light on! ๐ป

You may think creating a great craft beer that is a sour, infused with tangerines, "Star Wars"-themed, and crammed into a tall boy is impossible.
It's not impossible. We used to knock back 20 oz. cans in our F150 back home, they're not much bigger than a tall boy.
Join us as we dive deep into two of our favorite things: Star Wars and enjoying a good craft beer with friends. This Tangalorian Tangerine Sour from Frothy Beard doesn't just give us an excuse to talk about "Star Wars", it also gets us even more pumped for Season 2 of "The Tangalorian" โ er, "The Mandalorian".
Relaxing and chatting over a cold craft beer with friends? This is the way. I have spoken.

In our final recruiter spotlight episode of Atlas: Now Streaming, we interview Kristen Begeman. Kristen is based in South Dakota and the two of us met for the first time when we were roommates at TravCon in 2018! (insert Vine โand they were roommatesโ reference here) Sheโs a mom of three, loves old movies, and watching documentaries - that is, when she isnโt watching something her kids picked out!
Kristen and I talk about some of her favorite movies including 1954โs โRear Window,โ our mutual love of โSomethingโs Gotta Give,โ our favorite book-to-movie adaptations, and our latest quarantine binge.

Show us a solid Oktoberfest option in the month of October and we'll try it.
Oktoberfest brews may not be for everyone, but it's a right of the seasonal passage for our Beer Crew. Next up, we dive into this Ayinger Authentic German Oktoberfest, and we like it.
You can keep your pumpkin spice. This is the real spirit of October.
We're enjoying one of our favorite times of the year: Oktoberfest! If you're a nurse or healthcare professional working through the fall, we'd love to hear about your favorite Oktoberfest beer discoveries from your travels.
Cheers.

In this weekโs episode of Atlas: Now Streaming, we sit down (through Zoom, of course) with Mario Mucurio. While Mario has only been with Atlas for a short time, he has extensive experience in the industry and somewhat lived the โtravel lifeโ being in the military for 20 years, which gives him a unique perspective to helping healthcare travelers. We talk about the fan-favorite film โStep Brothers,โ our favorite Ron Swanson quotes, why we didnโt like "Game of Thrones," and Marioโs latest binge on the AppleTV+ original, "Ted Lasso."

Cinnamon Roast Crunch has a name so contrary to what you imagine a beer should be, that even our auto-correct is trying to change it to "Toast".
The latest craft beer in the "Naughty Sauce" series from Noble Ale Works might seem a strange brew, but it evokes memories of breakfast cereal and Saturday Morning Cartoons.
We don't know that this beer and a bowl of cereal is the perfect hangover cure (but it seems like the science would back it), but we do know this unique blend was a fun one to try.
And knowing is half the battle!
Dare from our beer crew: Try it in a bowl of cereal instead of milk. We don't want to do it, but we want someone to.

โLetโs get down to business to defeat theย Rourans!โ โจ Err, I mean, the Huns?

Thereโs no music, Mushu, or Huns to defeat. So, whatโs left? A badass woman saving her father from the war by disguising herself as a man and taking his place. Thatโs still an awesome story to tell! โจ Mulan was originally set to release in theaters back in March (you know, the before times) but was just released on Disney+ this month with a premier access fee. Gorgeously shot and fun for everyone, itโs definitely worth the price.ย ย โจ Havenโt seen this one yet?

Suddenly we feel like Bob Cratchit discussing the ghosts of TravCon Past, The Ghost of TravCon Present, The Ghost of TravCon Future, and The Ghost of OMG You Had Too Many Shots Last Night at TravCon. (Dickens left out that last ghost from earlier drafts.) In this metaphor, Scrooge is just 2020 as a whole.

Tune into this week's "Beer With Atlas" transmission to check out a New York brewer's "W4 Dry Hopped Gose."
The name of this craft beer may not roll off the tongue, but the citrusy flavor combination is self-described by Transmitter Brewing Company as "complex but crushable."
We do have a few questions for the brewmasters at Transmitter: 1. Where did the company name come from? 2. How does your beer naming scheme work with the letter and number combos? It's unique.
Even though we all love our Spotify playlists, there's still one frequency you can count on: the Beer With Atlas podcast. (See what we did there?)
Sit down. Relax. Tune into the podcast. Have a cold one. We saved you a seat. Cheers.

Have you ever had a memory that you swear was real, but was later proven false? For example, did you ever read โThe Berenstain Bearsโ as a kid, but you know it was spelled โBerensteinโ? Or what about Curious George, didnโt he have a tail? What about the Monopoly Man? Didnโt he have a monocle? What is reality anymore?!
All of these are examples of what has become known as โThe Mandela Effect,โ named after former South African President Nelson Mandela, who many believe died in the 1980s and not in 2013. This infamous conspiracy theory dates back to the early 2010s and has sent the internet into a rabbit hole of possibilities. Could it just be collective false memories, or are these coincidences a sign of something bigger in the universe?
The 2019 film โThe Mandela Effectโ, now available for streaming on Hulu, explores this theory with a game developer, his wife, and his deceased daughter that, because of these discrepancies, he believes is still alive. We watched this movie, blew our minds, and discussed the theory in-depth in this weekโs episode of Atlas: Now Streaming. We strongly urge you to research the theory before watching. But be forewarned, you will finish this movie even more confused than you were before.
This Lime Bandito Sour from South Park Brewing is crafted with coriander and kosher salt, then aged in tequila barrels.
If you told us you were just going to mainline beer and tequila, we'd question your evening plans; but explain it is a regional craft beer aged in tequila barrels, and now you're a beer cicerone with a penchant for high flavor.
If you're in the South Park area of Colorado, this regional brewer has several great options to try, including a Cherry Blonde, Sour Park Kids, Chasing the Elephant (kind of a pale ale), and their famous Ranch Hand Ale (brewing process does not include actual hands from ranchers โ we're like 90% sure).
Sit down. Relax. Tune into the podcast. Have a cold one. We saved you a seat. Cheers.

Catch the wave with us as we hang 10 with this craft brew combo from Maui Brewing Company out of Hawaii.
We enjoy a tropical-infusion from their custom "Island Brewed Ales & Lagers" with a Pineapple Mana Wheat and a Big Swell IPA that has a kick of citrusy hops.
Also joining us in the studio is our own Justin Pietig, a seasoned travel healthcare vet who was lucky enough to have this set of ales sent to the Atlas offices courtesy of one of his nurses.
Check out the podcast to get some "ka pahลซ สปana o ke สปono" in your life โ that's roughly an "explosion of flavor" (if the Google Translate bots are kind this evening).

We know what youโre thinking: canโt Hollywood think of anything NEW anymore? Fortunately, this reboot was a hit for us, and we think youโll like it, too!
Netflixโs new original series โThe Baby-Sitters Club,โ based on the novels of the same name by Ann M. Martin, tells the story of five girls who form a business to help the families in their neighborhood find quality babysitters and make some money along the way. As the story unravels, the girls become more than just a club; they become best friends as they deal with typical middle school problems like boys, parents, and puberty all while covering deeper cultural themes and storylines that are refreshing and real. A reboot, sure, but one with progressive values that we certainly appreciated!
This throwback is one we donโt think you will want to miss. A fun, nostalgic romp for the 80s and 90s babies, โThe Baby-Sitters Clubโ is a treat that the whole family will enjoy!
It's not every day we review a beer the brewing company describes as "totally crushable."
This Raspberry Blonde from 4 Noses Brewing Company promises to empower your olfactory senses "with a harmonious blend of tart raspberries on top of a refreshing blonde base."
You might think there is a fancy story behind the name of this family-owned brewing company, but it simply comes down to the clan being known for having large noses. Embracing their sensitive schnozzes, this family decided to start their own brewing company after having a pub and brew tour through Ireland. (That's the way to do it.)
Join us as we discuss craft beer and famous noses โ really. And if you want a stout craft beer that has a piquant aroma, your best bet might be to try one from a company that founded its name on the power of the family sniffer.

Wedding photography, hopeless romantics, trashy television, and goofy comedies; what do all of these things have in common? Theyโre just a few of Deziraeโs favorite things! This week, we sit down with Dezirae Thrower, who was hired on as one of our Allied recruiters in January (fun fact: all of our recruiters are nurse AND Allied recruiters now!). When sheโs not watching Ozark or Shameless, Dezirae is being a photographer, spending time with her friends and family, and helping healthcare professionals get those travel placements!
In this episode, we talk about some of Deziraeโs favorite shows, the funniest moments in โStep Brothers,โ and why sometimes you have to push through that awful pilot season of a show to get to the good stuff (looking right at you, Parks & Recreation).

Learn from a travel nurse family how they have tackled homeschooling, how every day can be an adventure (or challenge), and how there's always an opportunity to learn.

As many of us try to figure out the "new normal" for the school year, here are some quick tips to keep in mind when you consider homeschooling or remote learning.

Sunshine Chugsuckle was designed by Mother's Brewing Company to challenge the way you think about IPAs. If you don't like IPAs, Mother's thinks they can change your mind.
And after thorough taste-testing, our team thinks they just might.
The team was impressed with this one, and some may even go as far as to say its better than Atlas's beloved Fairy Nectar from Kros Strain.
For those of you who follow the podcast, you know that is a strong compliment indeed.
Mother's is based out of Springfield, Missouri, and this gem was sent to us by our own Aaron Biddle. Great find all around.
If you are in the Greater Ozarks and come across it, this Sunshine is worth the chug, or slow savoring โ your call.
Cheers!

It wasnโt too long ago that the USA Gymnastics team was on top of the Olympic Games. One of the most disciplined and competitive sports in the world, elite gymnastics has been the birthplace of some of the United Statesโ most decorated athletes such as Simone Biles, bringing home the gold time and again. But at what cost?
Unveiling one of the greatest and most heartbreaking scandals in sports history, Netflixโs โAthlete Aโ follows The Indianapolis Star as they investigate dozens of claims of abuse against Olympic doctor Larry Nassar and the organizationโs culture of cruelty, cover-ups, and keeping victims silent. While a difficult subject matter to watch, this documentary proves to be poignant in the wake of the #MeToo movement and the international human trafficking crisis. Watch this one will make you angry, but we promise, thereโs a happy ending.
Trust your recruiter and your agency. If they've always been there for you, listen to them over the internet noise.
We love the Internet! But we also know that while eternal vigilance is the price of freedom (attributed to Thomas Jefferson), replying to a contentious comment thread with a gif of Darth Vader screaming "Noooo" is the price of dealing with internet trolls.
Don't trust everything you read online.
We've seen waves and tumultuous storms like this in the industry before. And this, too, shall pass. It's just obnoxious while you're on the boat rocking away in the storm โ we get it.
Tune in to check out some unfiltered industry insights in this episode of "Atlas All Access". How do you filter out internet trolls? How do you win an internet argument? And what can you do to weather the storm now that jobs are back?
Go back to the people and the agency that you trust. You should be able to trust them enough to take something to them you have seen online, and simply ask them, "Is this legit?"
They would much rather help you navigate those waters than drift off course because of a persistent troll.

This craft beer from Glacial Till combines the refreshing flavor of a mojito with the easy-drinking nature of a hard cider.
Glacial Till Vineyard & Winery is based out of Palmyra Village in Nebraska: Population 545, but they have a vineyard!
Part of a growing movement of Midwest-based craft breweries and vineyards, Glacial Till discovered the cornhusker state is actually perfect for a solid microbrewery in the heart of the U.S. (because the earth was tilled by glaciers โ see what they did there?)
So if you are traveling through Nebraska, or want to hit up a fun location while visiting the Atlas MedStaff Headquarters, you can plan a detour to try the Glacial Till Tasting Room in Ashland, Nebraska, for some hard cider, shaved ice, and maybe a charcuterie board to share.
Cheers!

Morgan is a military kid, a former business owner, and a big fan of the horror genre, to Jamieโs delight and Ninaโs dismay.

We've decided to have our entire staff remain work-from-home through all of 2020. What does this mean for you?
This wasn't an easy decision, but it's the right thing to do.
We are incredibly focused on being the support structure to our traveling healthcare professionals. We are here working for you so that you can focus on your patients, on our loved ones, on getting us all through this.
Early on during "The-Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named" (that's 2020), we were one of the first travel nurse agencies to make the decision to send our team home to work fully remote.
Now we are committing even further to that effort. Our team will work-from-home throughout the rest of the year. Some of us haven't stepped foot in the office since early March! (It's been a weird year.)
It's important for us to take care of our team, and that includes our travelers along with our in-house staff. We want to be part of the solution. And if we are pushing to open our office HQ too soon, we run the risk of putting people in danger of contracting Covid-19 or taking up valuable beds that you need.
This is why our team will continue to work from home for you.
We're here, working for you. We just might be doing it in our pajamas with an ice-cold IPA next to us.

What if you had to live someone elseโs happiest day of their lives over and over again? This modern take on the โGroundhog Dayโ story of repetition is intertwined with a rom-com love story in Huluโs โPalm Springs,โ starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, and J.K Simmons.
The movie focuses on two characters, Nyles (Samberg) and Sarah (Milioti), who get stuck in a time loop of Sarahโs sisterโs wedding. A fun, seriously heartwarming and charming new rom-com, โPalm Springsโ is definitely a re-watchable classic and an excellent leading romantic role for both Samberg and Milioti.
Listen to what we have to say here:
Have you seen this one? Let us know in the comments what you thought!
What happens when you are a travel healthcare professional and your company disappears? Or goes through a merger? Acquisition? Or any number of business challenges.
Is your job safe? Will you even get paid this week? What happens next?
These are scary questions for a nurse about to start their shift, potentially working an entire weekend for free.
Thankfully, in this episode, we talk about when the stars align and everything works out.
Join us as we revisit the Atlas MedStaff asset purchase of Meridian Staffing, and find out what that process looks like from the inside: from a nurse's perspective living through every moment, and from a recruiter's side where they found new opportunities.
One thing is for sure, the life of a travel nurse is never boring!

Weโre doing things a little differently this week. To bring more of our recruiters into the studio (or at least for now, the Zoom studio), weโre starting a new special called the โRecruiter Spotlight,โ which will air biweekly with a new recruiter each episode. During these specials, we will ask our guests about their favorite movies, television shows, and learn more about what they like. Who knows; if you donโt have a recruiter yet, maybe their spotlight feature will make you give them a call!
This week, we brought on a fan favorite, Braden Boex. We discuss some of Bradenโs favorite films including โTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobbyโ, โSmokey and the Banditโ, and โTop Gun.โ We also talk about some new shows weโve been watching, including the โUnsolved Mysteriesโ reboot on Netflix, โHappy Endingsโ on Hulu, and the Disney+ release of โHamilton.โ

โThis is madness!โ โThis is politics!โ - Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worldโs End
Ok, so weโre not reviewing Pirates, but the quote used reflects the theme of what we did end up reviewing this week! Ryan Murphyโs Netflix exclusive โThe Politicianโ is a wild ride full of drama, back-stabbing, affairs, scandals, lies, and cover-ups, and this all takes place in the confines of a high school, not the greater world of American politics, although the parallels are extremely obvious.
โThe Politicianโ first aired in September of 2019 and with two seasons under its belt, itโs proving to be another binge-worthy series for the team that brought usย Glee, American Horror Story, Scream Queens,ย andย Pose.ย Starring Ben Platt ofย Dear Evan Hansenย in the titular role, the show follows Payton Hobart, an ambitious high school senior determined to become not only his schoolโs president but that of the United States as well, and by any means possible. Full of satire, wit, and even some heavier themes of mental health, โThe Politicianโ holds up a mirror to ourselves, and the difference between being a good person and just doing good things.

Give me liberty, or give me beer. Wait! You can have both.
We review the patriotic Liberty Ale from Anchor Brewing Company out of San Francisco.
If you enjoy a little history with your ale, this may be right up your alley. Inspired by traditional American brewing methods, this ale was introduced in 1975 and is noted for the champagne-like bubbles the classic fermentation process creates.
First brewed as a celebration from Anchor Brewing for the bicentennial of Paul Revere's historic ride, drinking this ale may not have you running up the eastern seaboard screaming, "The Redcoats are coming!", but it just might help you relax and appreciate a little history.
Cheers!

"So, here's your options: Door number one - you go to prison for a very long time. Door number two - we're going to get back the Declaration of Independence; you help us find it, and... you still go to prison for a very long time. But you'll feel better inside."
"National Treasure" is one of Disney's best live action-adventure films starring Nicolas Cage in a role we're pretty sure was only half-acting - we don't deny that a treasure is out there, and Nic Cage is definitely down to look for it. Cage plays Benjamin Franklin Gates (yes, really), an amateur cryptologist and historian on the hunt for a rumored hidden treasure linking back to the creation of the United States. Fun for everyone and definitely a Disney cult classic, this film went on to spawn a sequel and later a (confirmed!) third film and streaming series on Disney+.
On this special 4th of July episode, Nina and Jamie review this family-friendly patriotic film. We talk about the US capital, our favorite spots to visit, and remind everyone to PLEASE be safe, so our ER nurses don't see you later tonight...
Wear a mask. Save a life.
It's frustrating to us to see basic science, not to mention healthcare, be turned into a political statement. This is not about that.
What we do want to focus on is the importance of wearing a mask. There's a lot of false information out there. So let's go over the facts. What's the truth behind wearing a mask?
We've worked with thousands of nurses, techs, therapists, and healthcare professionals around the country, we regularly talk with some of the biggest names in the healthcare industry and some of the most recognized medical facilities in the country โ and they all say you should wear a mask.
Healthcare professionals, of course, already know all this. But if you have been trying to find a piece of content to share with a family member that is not political, but does go over the facts of wearing a mask ... well, we hope this helps.
Stay safe out there. Wear a mask and protect your fellow man. Look out for each other.
________________________ WHO Myths Wearing a mask causes oxygen deficiency. โข Nope. โข Otherwise nurses and docs who wear masks for 8-12 hour surgeries would collapse. Drinking alcohol prevents the coronavirus. โข No, but nice try. You might feel better about things, though. Hot sauce and hot peppers protect you from getting Covid-19 โข No. Otherwise our ICU nurses would be injecting patients with 10 CCs of Cholula and epi-pens loaded with Tapatio. (Don't inject hot sauce, kids.) 5G causes Covid-19 โข No. โข But it might give you a better mobile signal to research facts from the WHO or CDC. Extreme heat (or cold) kills the virus. โข Also no. Do not blast a blowdryer up your nose. Injecting bleach or cleaning agents stops the virus. โข No. Unless you count that it will kill you. Do not do this.

Many of the Founding Fathers were also amateur brewers, so it's fitting we celebrate Independence Day coming up with a craft beer dubbed simply: Merica.
From Prairie Artisan Ales out of McAlester, Oklahoma, it's hard not to trust a brewing company based in a city that has the word "Ale" in its name.
We all have Fourth of July memories, tinged in nostalgia. There was grilling, laughter, and often a beer in hand. Maybe you're the one with the beer, maybe it was your dad, your mom, or a favorite uncle.
Join our crew as we chat about beer, fond memories, and America.
This Independence Day we raise a brew to you, the nurses, the techs, the therapists, and the medical professionals.
It's been a rough year, but we're thankful for you.
Cheers.
Where were you during the Waco siege of 1993? Nina and I...we were barely old enough to turn on a television. Paramount Network's 6-part miniseries is a dramatization of the 51-day standoff between the FBI, ATF, and the Branch Davidians led by "messiah" David Koresh in Waco, Texas. Based on two separate novels written from the perspectives of a survivor of the cult and the former head of the FBI's Criminal Negotiation Unit, this retelling of the American tragedy was sobering, informative, and ultimately, incredibly heartbreaking.
While it received mixed reviews in its initial release in early 2018, our review was a bit more positive, as we educated ourselves on one of the biggest news stories of the early 1990s. "Waco" is currently available for streaming on Netflix.

TravCon 2020, the largest gathering of travel healthcare professionals, is officially canceled.
Yeah, we know. We're bummed, too. But we also think it's the right call.
This was not an easy decision for them to make. We're sure the TravCon board agonized over this one. In the end it's the right call for the conference, for the attendees, and for all of the business partners planning to go.
Find out more about TravCon, how jobs are opening in the wake of coronavirus, and what we hope to see at TravCon 2021.
Most importantly, we hope to see you.
Stay safe.

You say you want a Revolution? How about an ice-cold beer to go with it?
We're enjoying this unique take from Revolution Brewing that combines two of our hosts' favorite things: craft beer and comic books.
This new League of Heroes beer lineup is a fun one. Revolution is out of Chicago, and they are marketing the release of these brews like a new issue of a comic book.
The series run includes issues like Anti-Hero, Sly Hero, Galaxy-Hero With Haze, Cashmere-Hero, Tropic-Hero, and several more. (Collect them all!)
We dig the idea, the clever marketing is a ton of fun, the hops-infused art direction they have taken makes us want to hang it on a wall, and the actual beer? That was enjoyable, too.
"The King of Staten Island" is the latest Judd Apatow film, debuting last week from Universal and available for streaming now.
Designed as a Pete Davidson vehicle, this film borrows several real-life parallels from Davidson's own life. The main character's father was a fireman who died on the job (Davidson's father was a fireman who died during 9/11), he struggles with depression and finding himself, and he's not sure what he wants to do with his life.
Critical reviews so far have been generally favorable, and as we were already familiar with some of Pete Davidson's work (we also recently reviewed Hulu's "Big Time Adolescence"), we (Jamie, mostly)were very excited about this one.
The big performances here are the side characters. Backed up by industry veterans Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, and Steve Buscemi, the chemistry between Burr and Tomei are believable, and Buscemi's delivers in his role as a quasi-mentor who helps to give Davidson the proverbial kick in the pants he needs to make some changes in his life.
As Buscemi's firefighter character says: "Your dad was a hero. And heroes are necessary. And they should be allowed to have families."

That amazing job you saw posted on Facebook? The one you think is too good to be true? It probably is.
But how can a travel nurse or healthcare pro know? How do you spot the fake posts from the real ones?
Join us for an in-depth conversation with Nurse Recruiter Jake Brower and Atlas MedStaff Vice President Rich Smith, as we get right to the heart of the matter. Nothing is left on the table as we dissect the realities behind all those job posts you see on Facebook. What do they mean, and what are those recruiters really trying to do?
The best defense against janky job posts on social media? Build a relationship with a recruiter you can trust.
Your recruiter should be ok with you sending them a job post you see in the wild, both to ask if it's one they can get for you, and also to trust them enough when they tell you it's likely BS (that's the technical industry term).

This Stan Musial Lager from Urban Chestnut Brewing Company was originally planned to arrive at the start of the baseball season. (Sad crying sounds go here.)
Rich misses baseball SO MUCH, that he was even willing to drink this lager honoring a Cardinal player.
St. Louis-based Urban Chestnut Brewing Company may sound like a name you'd bet to cover the split at the horseraces, but this brewpub has built a name among Cardinal-loving natives for its craft beer, pizza, and beer garden. We've got to admit, it looks like a fun place to hang out. And we miss baseball. And also ... places.
The No. 6 may not be Rich's first choice as a die-hard Cubs fan, but the beer is as great as Musial's '45 season. He would be willing to enjoy this beer in St. Louis at a Cards vs. Cubs game.
Ironically, early research Rich has conducted indicates that the beer will taste even better if the Cubs are winning.
We're big fans of Steve Carell and Greg Daniels around our own office, so we had high expectations for the new "Space Force" series from this duo.
Daniels built his name off of "The Office" and then "Parks and Rec". Now he has two new series with "Upload" (Amazon Prime) and "Space Force" (Netflix) releasing close together.
"Space Force" reunites Carell and Daniels in an attempt to recapture the magic. With giant set pieces, a noticeably bigger budget (not a lot of special effects needed in Scranton), and a revolving cast of big-name guests across the first season, "Space Force" makes a valiant attempt in its satire of the 6th branch of the Armed Forces.
Does this new series blast off? Or does this rocket fizzle on the launch pad?
Join us as we practice safe social distancing and catch up on our streaming queues!
Netflix Description of "Space Force": On June 18, 2018, the federal government announced the creation of a 6th major division of the United States Armed Forces. The goal of the new branch is "to defend satellites from attack" and "perform other space-related tasks". Or something. This is the story of the men and women who have to figure it out.
This week's episode comes directly from a question a listener sent in. (Obligatory: long-time listener, first-time caller.)
Is there anything you can do to increase the chances of getting that placement you are hoping for right now? And is traveling what I want to do right now?
Great questions! Tune in to find out some simple tips on how you can improve your odds of landing that next contract. (This is good for any traveler, not just our own Atlas family.)
Persistence and Communication.
Throw on some kabuki makeup and then have a duel at ten paces with this "Love Gun" craft beer.
This cream ale from Heavy Riff Brewing out of St. Louis will steal your love just as much as perusing the menu of the brew pub that created a Kiss-inspired beer in the first place. (Sign us up for the "Smoked Spicy Asian Pork Wrap" or that Hickory and Cherry Wood smoked Reuben!)
This brewery tries to bring the flavor of the heavy riffs of rock legends they love to the beer they crave. Other notables on tap include a Prison Bound Pale Ale, Disco Apocalypse IPA, Smash It Up Sour, a Velvet Underbrown Brown Ale, and the cleverly named Du Hops Mich New England IPA.
If you like your beer to rock as hard as your, well, your rock, then give this cream ale a try. You'll feel the guitar solo between your teeth.
It might shock you tomorrow and tonight, and maybe it will manage to steal your love.

To appropriate a famous piece of beer marketing: "This one's for you." The All Together IPA is brewed to give back.
This beer collab is one for the books. We'd love to tag all of the brewers, craft beer shops, regional beers, and local breweries โ large and small โ who have come together to create this beer to help out the industry, but the list is much too long.
As of today, there are 825 breweries in 49 states across 53 countries who are contributing to this beer to help hospitality professionals who are currently furloughed, laid off, or out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic, closed bars, and taps as dry as the tabs.
Check out the snippet below from their website, and then go check out their website to give back to the community.
Dear breweries of the world, "There is an inextricable link that binds together everyone in the hospitality industry. Brewers, servers, bartenders, bussers, dishwashers, GMs, buyers, chefs, ownersโwe are all in this together. In this industry, when one of us struggles, the rest of us pick them up. It's baked into who we are."

How do you handle childhood trauma and a broken father-son relationship? If you're Shia LaBeouf, you find the ultimate catharsis in turning the camera's lens inward to create a movie analyzing yourself.
"Honey Boy" is a loose adaptation of LaBeouf's own Hollywood story filled with successful roles, broken dreams, and an abusive father.
At times dramatic, darkly humorous, and incredibly honest, this film blurs the line between what one man knew his father-son relationship was as a child, against what he realized it was as an adult, layered over what he wished it could've been.

Love 'em or hate 'em, we dive into hard seltzers this week for our last edition of mainstream beers (or "not beers").
While some seltzers like White Claw have earned a passionate fan following, others continue to be the LaCroix of the alcoholic beverage category โ they aren't so much flavorful as they once sat in the same warehouse as a beer that had flavor. But it was across the warehouse. Behind a locked door.
We've covered a lot of niche, regional beers on "A Beer With Atlas", but in May we turn our attention to a solid selection of mainstream beers.
These are your constant beverage companions, ever-reliable, always thirst-quenching. They may not blow away your taste buds, but there's a respectable comfort in enjoying a beer you know.

"Never Have I Ever" is a semi-autobiographical romp through the eyes of a high school teenager from series creators Lang Fisher and Mindy Kaling.
How does a teenage girl juggle modern life as a first-generation Indian American against all of the normal drama found in high school?
In a mark Netflix has become known for, the casting team has put together a group of fresh faces for this new series: for many of them, this is their first real role besides one-off parts like "teenager at party" in previous shows.
Pulling in some solid reviews from both fans and critics, this newest outing blends Kaling's penchant for self-deprecating truth layered with a bit of magical realism and a hefty dose of sarcasm.
Fans of "The Mindy Project" will recognize the narrative beats that Lang and Kaling became known for in their previous collaborations.

And then remember: the travel healthcare industry has been through this before.
The 2008 housing crises and subsequent recession played havoc on a host of industries that were never the same afterward. In this episode of "Atlas All Access", we offer a little perspective in the midst of the 2020 pandemic by reflecting on the lessons we learned out of the 2008 recession.
There are many similarities between 2008 and 2020 for the travel healthcare industry. For some of our veterans โ and you longtime nurses โ it may even feel a little eerie.
Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest for the trees when you are in the middle of the forest working overtime in full PPE and the lumberjacks refuse to wear flannel because of the zombie bears โ that metaphor may have gotten away from us, but you know what we mean.

Inspired by Jamaica's penchant for relaxation, and taking their name from the seam down a policeman's uniform, Red Stripe lager is a beer import that has managed to break into the mainstream.
Buoyed by successful marketing campaigns, this Caribbean lager has garnered a solid base of fans in the US and the UK while spreading a lifestyle of stopping to enjoy the simple things, like an ice-cold beer and good conversation with your friends.

Just in time for Mother's Day, we stream "Lady Bird", which focuses on the complex relationships between mothers and daughters.
This directorial debut from Greta Gerwig begins her relationship with Saoirse Ronan in 2017, as the two also collaborated on Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved 1869 novel "Little Women".
Naturally gravitating toward strong female characters in her projects, "Lady Bird" managed to pull in multiple Oscar nominations for Gerwig's first outing, including: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.
Critics have been responding to the Ronan-Gerwig partnership, as both of their two collaborations boast Metacritic scores in the low 90s.
We also talk about the newest project from "Office" and "Parks and Rec" front runner Greg Daniels, who now brings us "Upload", a Robbie Amell ("The Flash") vehicle that takes a look at the afterlife with an Asimov twist. Somewhere between comedy and philosophical drama, this is one we're going to keep our eye on.
And the new "Hollywood" mini-series about tinsel town after World War II looks like an interesting show, as well.

No doubt you've heard about the plight of the honeybee over the past several years. "Honeyland" hones in from the macroscopic view of the species to focus on a very personal honeybee story at the micro-level.
This independent documentary shows the story of the last Macedonian wild beekeeper in a remote mountain region of the Balkans. Without giving too much away, tradition is met with "progress" as the film examines the Venn-confluence of conservation, nature, and consumerism.
And stuck in the middle is a woman fighting isolation and trying to keep the old ways alive.
Nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Documentary Feature and Best Foreign Language Film, this directorial debut of Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov was the most awarded film at Sundance, garnering praise for its cinematography, as well as landing the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize for documentaries.

Amazon's new "Hunters" series is an interesting mix. At times it has a classic John le Carrรฉ vibe and others it's more "Inglourious Basterds" with a heavy dose of revenge thrown in.

"Big Time Adolescence" is a coming-of-age story from writer/director Jason Orley.
Now on Hulu, this indie film has a very indie vibe as it sets out to tell a tale of "youth in revolt" (IndieWire), and adults in a perennially stunted adolescence.
The biggest names you'll recognize here are Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson and longtime actor Jon Cryer.
SNL's Davidson plays Zeke, a college drop-out who befriends a high school teenager, played by Griffin Gluck (Locke & Keye). While Gluck's 16-year-old Monroe deals with the normal high school issues, Zeke waxes and wanes poetic with oddball life lessons for his young protege.
Whether the movie works for you or not is up to you, but the collaboration between first-time director Orley and Davidson worked out, as they got together again for Davidson's stand-up special "Alive from New York". (See what they did there?)

We're digging this Roswell-themed Alien IPA from Sierra Blanca Brewery sent to us from one of our travelers.
Shantelle Medlin snagged these while on assignment at Artesia General Hospital in New Mexico. Shantelle is a CSFA (Certified Surgical First Assistant) and she got as big a kick out of these funky beers as we did. (She also hooked us up with some "Outer Space Vodka"!)
Near the famed Roswell UFO crash location, this is a region full of all sorts of kitschy alien gimmicks and roadside attractions. We discuss alien conspiracies, and which type of "classic" alien abduction would be the worst to go through as we get into this IPA.
We can't quite say this brew is out of this world, but it's a fun regional take on the granddaddy of alien conspiracy theories. After our fourth bottle, we actually thought we saw something in the night sky, but it was probably just swamp gas reflecting off of Venus.
We love trying out your regional craft beer discoveries from your travels. Thanks for sending this one to us, Shantelle!
At its heart, "Onward" is a classic story of brotherhood retold through the lens of Disney Pixar's creative team.
Onward may take place in a fantasy realm of elves, dragons, and magic, but the portrayal of two brothers played by Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Parks and Rec) is eminently believable.
In this world founded by magic, society has lost touch with the magical. Progress marches on at the expense of wonder. But when a surprise gift bestows two brothers with a magical spell, they have a chance for something they never imagined: to spend one more day with the father they lost.
While the subject matter may be a bit heavy, it's also full of laughs, magic, and an adventure worthy of the best Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
A touching tale for fathers and their sons, parents and their children, and a look at the magic that can be found between siblings.
In this episode, we also chat about John Krasinski's positive, upbeat "Some Good News" YouTube project, as well as Killing Eve, and 100 humans.

Reach out. Text your recruiter. Comment to us on social media. Watch some of our content. Listen to some podcasts. Read a book! Find a way to unplug and relax if you can. Get some sleep.
We're here for you.
This is one weโve been excited for. When we stumbled upon this Atlas IPA from Marshall Brewing Company, we quickly put the call out for this titanic beer bearing our namesake.
Nurse Recruiter Mark Lau was able to work some magic and his traveler Devin Beatty came through in a big way. Not only was Devin in the area where this beer is made, but he got us some Atlas-themed swag from Marshall Brewing, too!
We chat about Atlas-themed beer, crack open this IPA, and discuss other Tulsa points of random trivia like native Garth Brooks, and the fact that it was the shooting location for 1989 cult classic โUHFโ. Special thanks to Devin and Mark for working together to surprise us with this craft beer.
Now we just need Marshall to send us a giant framed print of that gorgeous Atlas art to hang in our office....
Maybe the weirdest thing about "Tiger King" is that just when you think it can't get any weirder, it manages to outdo itself.
It's worth noting that the full title of this Netflix docu-series is "Tiger King: Murder, Madness, and Mayhem", and it constantly strives to one-up itself in all three categories.
If we had just five words to describe "Tiger King", they would likely be "What did I just watch?" If we had a few more, we'd mention the unlicensed zookeeper who went to prison for murder, more than 1,000 captive tigers and lions, Joe Exotic, Carol Baskins, drug lords, cults, polygamy, money, magic, and weird country-western ballads backed by equally bizarre indie-produced music videos.
To quote one of those songs: "I saw a tiger, and now I understand." Butโ we watched the whole thing and we still don't understand.
If you like bizarre true crime stories that get more bizarre every few minutes, with strange twists and turns, this is the big cat ride you've been waiting for.

Ever wonder how we find, source, and test Atlas swag? Want to know how much it actually costs?
All the Atlas swag you see comes out of a separate operating budget from Atlas. It's a small way for us to give back to you. (It is not factored into your contract). But if you've ever wondered how the math breaks out, come with us on a swagtastic journey.
Got a suggestion of new Atlas swag you would like us to consider? Let us know in the comments!
Check out this Pulp Fiction Vince Vega 8-bit-themed brew from Junkyard Brewing. Definitely an original.
We nerd out about all things Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino, the history of 8-bit graphics (hello, classic Nintendo!), and how this beer drove us to a weird experience at an Arby's.
In addition, we check out this Hard Coffee from Pabst Blue Ribbon. Does this cold brew (x2) get the PBR ribbon of approval?
Special thanks to our friends at Converdia Health Staffing for sending us this unique Vince Vega 8-bit gem. We didn't even have to blow on the can to get the beer to load!
Join us as we tiptoe down the dark rabbit hole of the new Aaron Hernandez documentary from Netflix.
A sad tale, this docu-series tells the story of a promising football star that some characterized as "a ticking time bomb" who threw it all away in a downward spiral that ended with betrayal, drugs, guns, lies, and murder.
If you like a solid documentary or true crime stories, this is one you'll want to join us for.
We also chat about Harmony Korine's Matthew McConaughey vehicle, "The Beach Bum" (where Matthew puts his inner bongo-playing id to screen), the "Tiger King" story making waves, the dark suspense remake of the classic H.G. Wells story "The Invisible Man", and the season finale of "This Is Us."
Join us as we practice safe social distancing and catch up on our streaming queues!

We're not chasing crazy contracts. We're the firm, steady, consistent partner you've always worked with. Steady. Taking the time to do the right thing for you.
This week we highlight several beer selections from our friends at TRS Healthcare.
This eclectic mix includes wheat ale, a coffee stout, and a currant black cherry small-batch brew โ quite the combination!

"Locke & Key" is the latest screen adaptation of writer Joe Hill. Is this a lock you want to pick?
Keyhouse is a mysterious antebellum relic full of many doors and many secrets. The sprawling house has layers of surprises that are slowly uncovered by a handful of young protagonists. As each key is found, you'll find yourself wondering what door it opens in the sprawling mansion. Or is the key for something else?
This new Netflix series offers mystery, suspense, and anxiety to anyone who constantly loses their keys.
Based on the Eisner Award-winning comic book series by Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, the Netflix adaptation is more kid friendly, but still offers plenty of surprises and mysteries to unlock.
If you are unfamiliar with the work of Joe Hill, he is heavily influenced by the writings of his father. His full name is Joseph Hillstrom King, and he was literally raised on the work of novelist Stephen King, his dad.
Open some strange doors with us as we venture into Keyhouse.

We have a special treat this episode with this Precious beer from our friends at Atlas Brew Works.
Our own Atlas Crew was on the ground in D.C. for our recent ACDC Meet and Greet with our travelers in the nation's capital. And, no trip to D.C. would be complete without visiting our longtime friends at Atlas Brew Works.
Regular watchers of "Atlas All Access" and our other content will recognize Atlas Brew Works from several of their signs and stickers displayed in our studio. We even have some art prints of their beers hanging in our office.
The team discusses this brew, some of our history with Atlas Brew Works, as well as several of our favorite D.C. historic locations, including theaters, memorials, and monuments โ oh, my! โ and, of course, one local craft brewery.
โ๏ธ We leave the big screen behind this week to look at a little 2001 made-for-TV Disney Channel flick called "The Luck of the Irish".
If you were a fan of this era, you likely recognized the phrase "A Disney Channel Original Movie", and it may strike all sorts of nostalgia for you.
If you have forgotten what these films were, IMDB also recommends a pile of similar made-for-TV shows that include: Johnny Tsunami, Motorcrossed, Zenon, Smart House, Brink, and Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire.
In "The Luck of the Irish", Kyle Johnson discovers he has mad basketball skills and his lucky streak is actually because his mother is a leprechaun. Astute viewers will recognize this as "Teen Wolf" but with leprechauns, and likely fewer werewolves and van handstands.
We know there are a lot of questions and concerns about the coronavirus, especially since we are in the healthcare industry.
Here's a quick Atlas update.
"For the very first thing, we want you to know that you're taken care of. Atlas cares about you. We care about our hospitals. You're not alone. This is a team." โ Steve Ryan

Grab a bowl of Lucky Charms, turn on your favorite "Leprechaun" movie, and DO NOT forget about your beer. ๐ป
On this episode of "A Beer with Atlas," we drink three Irish Reds. One from our local brewery, Nebraska Brewing Company, another from Boulevard Brewing, and the last one is a surprise from WellBeing Brewing.
Listen as we dive into not only our beers, but the evolution of Lucky Charm's marshmallows and the very not so famous... ๐คท "famous?" Leprechaun movies.
On February 24, 2020, Katherine Johnson, one of the inspiring women behind 2016's film, "Hidden Figures," passed away at the age of 101. We decided, in her honor, to review this Academy Award nominated film.

You don't need the might of Jobu behind you to enjoy this Major Lager beer from The Brew Kettle Brewery out of Ohio.
The crew forgets about the curveball as they throw straight heaters down the middle to discuss the magic of a cold beer and baseball โ so much baseball!
Our thanks to Thomas Piper from Scrub Squad 1978 for sending us this gem of 80's pop-culture that's wrapped up in a tribute to baseball and beer.
We promise we didn't put snot on the can, but we've got Atlas uniforms and everything as we cover the bases and this beer from Brew Kettle.
Some small craft beers never had a prime, but Brew Kettle is throwing some solid pitches with this one. And they didn't even get the live chicken.
Is this brew the beer you've been waiting your whole life for? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it's juuuuust a bit outside your typical ballgame night beverage. But if you belly up to this episode of "A Beer With Atlas", we'll pour you a nice dose of audio satisfaction while the bartender gets Jobu his refill. (And hats for bats. Keeps bats warm.)
We did it with Jamie's favorite movies; now, it's Nina's turn! On this episode, we review a few of her favorite movies, including 21 & 22 Jump Street, Neighbors, and Crazy, Stupid Love.
How does pay work for a travel nurse? How does bill rate impact you? What do you need to know about MSPs, VMSs, vendors, and the partnerships your agency has with them?
We dive into all of these questions and more. Be the most educated and informed traveler you can as you push your career further.
We sample Blue Owl Brewing with Jubilberry, a sour winter ale, and Little Boss, a sour session wheat.
We dive into these Texas sours and discuss Houston trivia, the music of Willie Nelson, and even Willie's son Lukas Nelson.
Our team enjoyed these brews even though they offer some flavor profiles that would normally be outside of our beer reviewer preferences.
We also feel it's important to mention that Blue Owl has beers named: Van Dayum! (sour red ale), Can't Quit You (sour hazy IPA), Dapper Devil (a sour raspberry Belgian-style strong ale), Cool and the Gang (sour summer with Earl Grey), Hop Totem (a sour citra IPA), and several others.
If you're looking for a little unique flavor from the Lonestar State, this is an excellent place to start your adventure.
South Korean darling "Parasite" has been the talk of Hollywood since its surprise win at the Academy Awards.

๐ Dear Traveler, we accept the fact that you sacrifice full Saturdays on the unit to help people who have done nothing wrong. But we think it's crazy that some people don't understand how amazing you are. The world sees you as they want to see you โ in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. A person in scrubs. But what we found out is that each one of you is a nurse... ...and an adventurer... ...and a brave soul... ...a healer... ...and a confidant... Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours, โ The Atlas Club
๐ฌ It's hard to believe, but today marks the 35th anniversary of the beloved cult classic, "The Breakfast Club". Released February 15, 1985, the film chronicled the antics of a quintet of high school archetypes, forced into the worst punishment imaginable: spending Saturday in detention.
We chat about the impact of this cult classic, and then we tackle the most recent cinematic spectacle: The Oscars. Do you agree with the wins? How many of the nominees have you seen?

It's a Valentine's Special episode from "A Beer With Atlas", which means the crew finds a way to get chocolate and roses into a bottle (and can).
We try a true Oregonian original with this Double Chocolate Stout brew from Rogue Ales & Spirits. And that's followed by a Rosรฉ Gosรฉ from Hoof Hearted Brewing โ hey, we even got "hearts" in there!
Whether you have your own valentine to share an evening with, or you're going solo, there's something here for everyone.
We get into the history of chocolate and how it became associated with Valentine's Day, we discuss these special brews, and we even chat about "Dirty Dancing" and the legacy of Patrick Swayze. Now that's a solid date night!
Maybe nobody puts Baby in a corner, but we do recommend putting these brews on your list of beer goodness to try.
Pull up your podcast service of choice, crack open a cold one, and join Johnny Castle and our crew for this special Valentine's episode.
We take a look at the intense drama "You" on Netflix.

This show aims to throw some classic relationship movie cliches on their head with its spin on digital tech and our propensity to overshare, but does it work?
If you're a nurse, you have heard the "F word" a lot. Heck, you probably say the "F word" a lot.

Learn why Las Vegas is called the "9th Island" of Hawaii as the team cracks open this Pineapple Sour from Lovelady Brewing Company.
As we get into our pile of anecdotes and beer discussion, we chat about why Hawaiians have a penchant for moving to Las Vegas.
Aside from a fruity cocktail you'd get in any Casino on The Strip, does pineapple belong in a beer?
It's Jamie's Birthday! To celebrate, we're reviewing a few of her favorite movies: Wayne's World, Hot Rod, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Definitely an eclectic list, but we had fun reminiscing on some of these!
In 2020, we are going to be hitting it hard with our Meet and Greets. Why does Atlas pay for Meet and Greets? What kind of things do we do with our travelers on a Meet and Greet? How do I get involved? What do I do if I think that Atlas MedStaff should hold a Meet and Greet in my current/future location?
Listen to Vice President, Rich Smith, and Travel Nurse Recruiters, Jake Brower and Maggie Hammer, talk all about Meet and greets and how they work.
Speaking of Meet and Greets I believe we have one coming up! Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2657626187840682/
I also heard a rumor that we will be in the Phoenix area for a Royals vs Rockies Spring Training game the first week of March.
Be on the lookout on Facebook, from your recruiter, and/or in your email for more info on all future Atlas MedStaff Meet and Greets.
This week we take in a little of the sweet life as we mix things up and sample a bottle of Wild Man Mead from Big Lost Meadery.
The sweetness of mead comes from its honey base, but this brew from Big Lost also packs in some hops in its crafting process for a smooth drink that belies its scruffy namesake.
Help us celebrate the power of the bee to add some variety to our drinking shelves in this week's episode of "A Beer With Atlas".
On this episode, we review the new Netflix docu-series on the infamous Henry Lee Lucas, "The Confession Killer."
Have you considered your #NewYearNewCareer resolution? If you've thought about being a first-time #traveler, now is the time to make the change.

We cover the most important takeaways for anyone looking at that #NewCareer in the #NewYear. Thinking of making a change? This is the place to start.
This is a bit of a milestone for us. In this episode we review "War Elephant", which is the very first beer collaboration we've covered on "A Beer With Atlas".
This brew was a collab between the Oliphant and Eastlake Brewing companies. This pink pachyderm packed a very unique flavor that we liked, but is hard to pin down, doubtless this was the result of the two breweries' different approaches to #craftbeer.
It boasts "smoked sea salt gose brewed with guajillo chiles and cacao nibs" โ yeah, it's different.
If you're looking for a unique beverage, this may be the one you want to try.
You can check out our full review right here.
Is "The Morning Show" a triumphant return for Steve Carell or a weird off-shoot from Apple's new experiment in original TV programming?
We're huge fans of Carell around here, so we're rooting for him. Let's see if he can hit the sit-com / dramedy magic again.

We dive into the marshes of South Carolina and come up with a refreshing 6 pack of this Pluff Mud Porter from Holy City Brewing.
This beer is a classic American Porter and a popular one for Holy City's efforts in the Charleston market.
If you're in the area, this is one you'll probably want to try, along with any of the other beers this regional brewer has available.
But what is "Pluff Mud"? We wondered that, too. We liked how they explained it. Here's what the brewery says on their site:
"Pluff mud [plร ยญff-mร ยญd], noun, A mixture of dirt and water indigenous to the marshes of the South Carolina Lowcountry, with a distinct odor thatโs endearing to locals, but off-putting to tourists and redcoats."
Well, now that's a good reason to name a beer after a specific type of mud localized to the area.
On this episode, we review the already critically acclaimed Netflix drama, "Marriage Story," starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. The story depicts the heartbreaking truth behind a cross-country divorce of two people and their 8-year-old son.
On this episode, we talk about the evolution of "Atlas All Access." Oh, how we have come so far!

There are many things sacred to us at Atlas HQ, but perhaps one of the most carefully guarded is the Beer Fridge.
It's under lock and key. Seriously. In a separate room hidden in the far back of the office.
But sometimes, just sometimes, our team must make the ultimate sacrifice and clean out the beer fridge in order to make room for more beer in the new year.
It is therefore with a spring in our step that our team of beer imbibers take this heavy burden upon themselves, and sample a wide selection of various #craftbeers that have been lurking in the corners of the fridge.

Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie? We tackle the most important Christmas debate that has plagued mankind since John McClane was first unleashed on theaters on July 15, 1984.
You've discussed it at work. You've had disagreements with family members, and you firmly stand on one of the sides of the battle.

If you are a die-hard fan, you recognize the significance of this being episode 66 of this #podcast.

We loved the Cloud City IPA, too, and it's made by the fine folks over at Narrow Gauge Brewing Company based in Coruscant, Missouri. Oops. That's Florissant, Missouri. Honest mistake.
pew! pew!
We try the #daytonstrong IPA, a beer made with all proceeds going to help recovery efforts from the Memorial Day weekend tornadoes in the area.
This limited-edition brew comes from Warped Wing Brewing Company, in association with the Dayton Brewing Alliance, which has helped to organize several ongoing relief efforts for those affected by the tornadoes' damage. Warped Wing is proud of its Dayton roots, and they wanted to find a way to give back to their community.
We'll drink to that.

It's "The Office" vs. "Parks and Rec" โ two of the most beloved and rewatched sitcoms in recent memory. So which do you prefer?
If you had a choice to binge-watch one of these series on repeat, which would it be? It's Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope. Ron Swanson vs. Dwight Schrute. Jim and Pam vs. Ben and Leslie. Paper vs. Parks.
We look at the similarities and differences between these two workplace comedies, discuss our likes and dislikes, and aim to answer which Andy had the best reasons for leaving their respective shows?
We discuss which characters are our favorites and which ones are the woooOOOOoooOOoorrst!
If you miss either one of these shows, drink the nostalgia and come back with us to revel in a time when mockumentary camera angles were all the rage, Dunder Mifflin was in full operation, and Pawnee, Indiana, was in a constant feud with those snobs from Eagleton. Pfft. Eagleton! The only thing worse than Eagleton is how Todd Packer treats his co-workers โ or the library.
Pour one out for Little Sebastian, power on your Sabre Pyramid*, and join us in watching some great comedy.

If you are a travel nurse, a travel healthcare pro, a recruiter, or even in the industry, this is one you'll want to check out.
This week, Atlas VP Rich Smith chats with our VP of Recruitment Kurt Chase โย find out what these two industry pros took away from this year's SIA conference, and what it means for Atlas.
From the Podcast: "Fast forward to two years. We're at SIA. There was more conversation and collaboration between the companies that I have ever heard in my life." โ Kurt Chase
"I was surprised to see the level of participation, the level of people reaching out. That collaboration was happening at a very high level all the time." โ Rich Smith
"Even though I believe people are now sharing more information and ideas, I still believe we are the pioneers." โ Kurt
"Here's what's special. What's special is the people that are behind the scenes doing it. That's what's special." โ Rich
"How? And the easy answer there, is it's the same answer to the 'secret sauce' question. You care. You just care. You can't automate the human touch. And the more you try to automate, the further you're going to get from that. And it will slow down your growth. it will slow down your business. It will hurt you in the end." โ Rich
We got in a shipment of Dallas Fort Worth Beers that were solid all the way around. Check out our review.
These beers were excellent, and for a regional craft beer they went the extra mile to have some solid design work on the packaging โ we particularly like the choice of "Atlas Blue" on the $GALAXY brew.
Once more, we'd like to extend a special shout out to our friends at AHS MedStat / AHS NurseStat for sending in this selection to us. Thanks for being so thoughtful, gang. Cheers!

We are passionate about giving back to the Community. Our Co-Founder and President Steve Ryan has gotten connected with a great organization, the Mosaic Group, to do just that.
Steve even went to Tanzania with Mosaic to help communities there. Since then, we've been working with them closely to see what else we could do to help this group and their cause.
We were touched by how much work they do in Tanzania with only one vehicle for transportation to service all of the people they do in the communities there. Because of this, we are looking to buy them another bus so they can have an even larger impact in the area.
Mosaic is based in 11 states and always looking for volunteers. They are open to new ideas and welcome new faces that want to make a difference.
Sour Pickle Beer? Yes. Sour Pickle Beer. But is it any good?

Chris's Bio - https://atlasmedstaff.com/atlas-team/chris-madrigal/
This episode is not necessarily scary, but it is Brian's reason for being a believer in the paranormal and the unknown. We appreciate him opening up and telling this personal story with us.
Seasonal Depression can affect all of us in different ways. And if you're living in overcast, cold, wintery gloom, it can be magnified by the weather.

As an Atlas employee and #traveler, you also have access to a service that provides free calls for talking about whatever you need. Depression. Financial Stress. The calls are anonymous and you do not need to be on our insurance plan to take advantage of the service.

What? We're going to spend $85 in cable connectors at Best Buy so we can run an HDMI cord to a component video cable? There are better and easier ways to be haunted by a demon from a well. Just sayin'.

Do you want to see travel jobs posted on social media? Some travel nursing companies spam them out there, and you definitely don't want to do that. Is there a way that you can maintain a personal element to posting jobs, or would you prefer to have them discussed privately in a one-on-one setting with your recruiter?
Atlas MedStaff Recruiters Mike Von Dollen and Braden Boex join host Rich Smith on this week's Atlas All Access to discuss their different approaches.
Not all travel healthcare companies are made equal. Join our team to hear their thoughts behind each side of the issue.
