๐Ÿค  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.

๐Ÿค  ๐Ÿค  ๐Ÿค  This week on Atlas All Access, Braden takes the reigns as we check in on the Dallas Office by sitting down with VP of Travel Recruitment & Retention and also the head of the Dallas Office, Kurt Chase.

With this conversation, we get to know why Dallas, the differences and similarities between our office in Omaha and the Dallas office, and what is next for the Dallas office going forward. Toss in Kurt's thoughts about our decision on TravCon 2021 and whether a hot dog is a taco or a sandwich.

I mean, it's a sandwich. Right? It can't be a taco. I mean is a sub sandwich a taco then? The world may never know.

๐ŸŽฐ 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.

Where do you start? This is a question that comes up a number of times.

After that, we get into some other fun stuff on this episode of Atlas All Access.

๐Ÿช– 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. To learn more about Alicia Carosella: ๐Ÿช– https://tinyurl.com/r8xrhpjf

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.

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.

TravCon 2020 โ€” we miss you and we never got the chance to know you.

Normally, right now, we would be in Vegas with all of you, celebrating TravCon and toasting to our awesome travel nurses and travel healthcare pros. But 2020 has been a bit of a [insert your favorite swear]. Right?

We chat with Tricia Novak: NICU RN, travel nurse, volunteer coordinator for TravCon, and all-around awesome person. Share some TravCon memories with us as we talk about the TravCon that wasn't (2020), and the TravCon that will be (2021).

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.

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.

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 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!

We check in with Atlas President Steve Ryan to talk all things Tanzania.

What's going on with the Tanzania trip? How are our friends doing overseas? What have we been able to do to help them?

Atlas MedStaff has partnered with the good people at the Mosaic Foundation to give back to communities in Tanzania. This year's trip has been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, but we are still excited to keep open hearts and minds and give back where we can.

Here a solid mix of beers that our own Atlas President Steve Ryan brought back to Atlas HQ. We cracked these open in this special episode of "A Beer With Atlas", where we review craft brews from around the country where our healthcare travelers visit.
๐Ÿ‘‰ youtu.be/aY-RpfldHbw

We ran a contest to select two Atlas travelers and two Atlas in-house staffers to go on our next trip to Tanzania. We have an excellent group selected, and everyone was excited to go and make a difference. Unfortunately, Covid-19 and the current state of the world has put those plans on pause. But we can't wait to reconnect with our friends overseas.

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.
โ€ข Nope.
โ€ข Otherwise nurses and docs who wear masks for 8-12 hour surgeries would collapse.
Drinking alcohol prevents the coronavirus.
โ€ข No, but nice try. You might feel better about things, though.
Hot sauce and hot peppers protect you from getting Covid-19
โ€ข 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
โ€ข No.
โ€ข But it might give you a better mobile signal to research facts from the WHO or CDC.
Extreme heat (or cold) kills the virus.
โ€ข Also no. Do not blast a blowdryer up your nose.
Injecting bleach or cleaning agents stops the virus.
โ€ข No. Unless you count that it will kill you. Do not do this.

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.

NOTE: If you purchased TravCon tickets for the 2020 conference, you are eligible for a full refund. Visit their Facebook page or website for more info.

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).

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.

The SIA Healthcare Summit brought in industry experts from all over. Hear how Atlas interacted, learn about the panels we spoke on, and what the future holds for the healthcare staffing industry.

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 โ€” 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 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.

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.

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.
