I’ve been a nurse for over 30 years, and I’ve worked for several staffing agencies. Hands down, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better agency than UNI! Dexter and his team (including Courtney, Judy, Kelly and Mylene, just to name a few) are awesome! Whether I call or email, they’re always super-responsive. During the application process with the facility, they kept me informed every step of the way. Everyone in the office is kind, knowledgeable, and eager to help. They’ve never dropped the ball! Instead, they’ve remained consistent and supportive. Great hourly pay rates, weekly paydays and the best customer service, ever! Those are the reasons why UNI is #1 on my list!
