Aya is a great company, and Averi Winner is the best recruiter. I felt secure and safe and will be forever thankful for her guidance and support.

Laura O. has been my recruiter for over a year now. She is by far the best at the job! Her knowledge and expertise made my travel nursing process experience seamless. She’s responsive with any questions or concerns and always in a timely manner. Thanks for all you do for us Laura!

Did my first travel contact with Aya with my recruiter Ricky Lowdermilk and he has been extremely helpful and made my experience very easy. Will definitely recommend and I’m looking forward onto doing another contract soon.

Ricky's presence in my life brings immense comfort, particularly when I'm away from loved ones and navigating the complexities of assignments and career choices. His steady guidance and support, coupled with his kindness and most of all patience, allow me to make informed decisions about my contracts and assignments. He really listens to what is most important to me, not to mention, his response time is impressive! Ricky Lowdermilk really is my personal cheerleader minus the pom poms and embarrassing dance moves. 😁

I have been with Aya Healthcare since February 2024 and I can't complain, my team has been amazing and supportive. They are extremely patient, respectful and understanding. When I first started with Aya I wasn't able to complete my contract due to an unexpected family emergency, I had to end my contract without giving a two-week notice. I felt awful, ashamed and embarrassed. Aya and my travel agent Ricky did not make me feel inadequate instead they worked with me to come up with a realistic plan so I can travel while being a mom who home school her children.Ricky Lowdermilk is my travel nurse recruiter; I would not change him for the world. He has been my rock and part of my support system. Being a travel nurse is not as easy as some may make it seem. You are held to a higher standard than sometimes your staff nurses. All eyes are on you, and you have to work extra hard sometimes even harder. However, you get to meet so many great people such as patients, nurses, LNAs, doctors, NPs, etc., while getting to know their community and that to me is priceless. Ricky has been nothing but supportive and encouraging. Ricky is reliable, kind, empathetic, and an amazing listener. He allows me to vent pent-up frustration and always gives me the best advice. Thank you Aya and Ricky for all that you do for us nurses. I appreciate all the support!

I’ve worked with Monica now for around 4 years and wouldn’t have it any other way. After a brief time with a different recruiting company, Monica makes it clear that she is the cream of the crop and always puts her clients first. She always makes the process seamless and ensures that I'm 100% happy with everything. Whether you're just starting out or have been traveling for years, I would recommend Monica to anyone!

I have been working with Monica Hamilton for over four years and the time has flown! Monica has never failed to find me a job that aligns with my goals whether for location or good pay. She is pleasant to speak with, patient, and after my breaks when it’s time to get back to it, she gets the job done. I think anyone would be lucky to have Monica as a recruiter. :)

I’ve been working with my Aya recruiter, Anna Roccucci, for almost 2 years. She has been so helpful in navigating the challenges of traveling as a nurse and supportive in my goals as a healthcare professional. I highly recommend her and look forward to continuing to work with her!
