Hi, I’m Lana! Triage’s West Coast Sr. Nursing Recruiter 😊 I’ve been recruiting RNs for 17 years now with the last 15 years spent helping travel nurses and I love what I do!
Making sure my nurses are happy is always my #1 goal. Receiving phone calls with positive feedback about their travel assignments is what I aim for! From the start I strive to ensure that my nurses feel knowledgeable and well-informed about the ins and outs of travel nursing. I guarantee competitive pay packages presented at max earnings, with no need for negotiations. I strategize to get my nurses interviewed and offered in our competitive climate, and I seek ways to reduce any stress along the way. I keep a keen eye on weekly timecards to ensure paychecks are always correct and on time, and I make myself available throughout the entire experience so that my nurses know that I’m there for them every step of the way! In addition, timely correspondence, being supportive, and staying on top of things are my prime areas of focus to provide the most satisfying travel nursing experiences possible. Enriching my RN's worlds with these new and exciting adventures is what makes my daily work so gratifying and I feel lucky to be a part of it all!
When not at work, I love spending time with my hubby Pete and identical twin sons Hunter & Silas. I do my best to soak up every minute with my kiddos because they're almost 10 years old and growing up so fast! We love playing games of all kinds, creating art, traveling, going on nature walks, to amusement parks, the list goes on and on 😊
I love being a recruiter because it gives me a daily opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the nurses I work with. I'm grateful to be able to take care of my RNs so they can enjoy each travel nursing adventure to the fullest. With my guidance and support, I aim to diminish any career-related concerns so full focus can be placed on patient care and getting the very most out of their assignments. My philosophy is to take excellent care of my nurses while they take excellent care of others!
I look forward to meeting the next member of the Triage family, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thanks and all the best!
Experience
At Triage, we prefer to be real. Real about expectations--both ours and yours. Real about how a decision you make today could affect your tomorrows. Real about how compensation actually works. Real about how great-– or grating--your next supervisor may be.
Being real allows everyone at Triage to be ready. Ready to serve you with real honesty. So if that gig near the ocean is really no day at the beach, or that third shift comes with a second-class rate, we tell you. So you can be ready, too.
- One point of contact for both travelers and facilities (per division)
- In-house compliance and accounting specialists
- On-staff clinical liaisons
- Mentoring program that is run and managed by actual clinicians – yeah, you read that right
- And more (because of course there’s more)
Are we the biggest? No. Are we the best? That’s rather subjective, but we’re trying to be. Will we work like hell to get you as close to your idea of heaven as possible? Yes. Yes, we will.
In 2021, Triage and TaleMed merged to become better together under the Triage name.
