48-Hour Nurse Deployment: Fastaff's Rapid Response to Flu-Driven Census Spikes

November 1, 2018

In January 2018, the flu season hit its peak, becoming the most widespread in over a decade. Hospitals needed quick and adaptable solutions as they faced increased patient numbers and staff illnesses. Knowing the typical 13-week travel nursing assignments wouldn't keep up with the sudden and unpredictable rise in demand, several hospitals turned to Fastaff Travel Nursing for their Rapid Response® services.

Fastaff quickly filled all flu-related orders for eight hospitals within 24-48 hours during the first few weeks of January. They provided 136 skilled nurses in hard-to-fill specialties, with some starting in just a few days.
