Allied Medical Staffing
travel and per diem Registered nurses
Allied Medical Staffing
Allied Medical Staffing is Joint Commission certified and it isn’t just a title for us, it’s a promise! A promise that wherever your next assignment takes you as a traveling nurse, you can trust that we’ve done the work to make sure you're supported, safe, and working with teams who value quality care as much as you do. We provide home health aids locally and place travel nurses through out the nation.
Travel nurses are licensed RNs who take temporary assignments—usually 13 to 26 weeks—at hospitals and clinics across the country. They step in where care is needed most, filling staffing gaps while gaining experience in new settings. It’s a flexible, high-impact way to grow your skills, see more of the country, and often earn higher pay and housing perks along the way.
What is travel Nursing?
Why Choose Travel Nursing?
Higher Pay: Travel nurses typically earn more than staff nurses, with added financial perks.
Flexibility & Freedom: Choose when and where you work—build your schedule around your life.
Built-in Adventure: See the country one assignment at a time, from beach towns to big cities.
Work-Life Balance: Take breaks between contracts to rest, recharge, or travel on your terms.
Diverse Experience: Gain skills quickly by working in new units, systems, and settings.
Less Workplace Politics: Short-term roles mean more focus on patient care, less on office drama.
Tax-Exempt Stipends: Get untaxed allowances for housing and meals (if you qualify).
Custom Career Pacing: Stack contracts back-to-back or build in time off—it’s your call.

Our Story
Meet the Team

Todd Beson
CEO
Allied Medical Staffing was formed in December 1999 from a combination of a retired franchise company and a locally owned business. Our team and clients give me a purpose every day to provide the very best healthcare possible.
I am married with four children, one daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren. My oldest is an anesthesiologist; my second owns a metal fabrication business; my third is working with me at Allied Medical Staffing; and my fourth is a cosmetologist. I enjoy spending time with them in the great southern outdoors, out on the water, and appreciating God's beauty.

I started at AMS in 1999, and it’s been amazing to see how much we’ve grown over the years. AMS has given me the opportunity to do what I love: helping people find opportunities, supporting employees, and creating a workplace that feels welcoming and rewarding. I handle everything from hiring great people to ensuring our team feels supported and valued.
