ABOUT US

In the heart of Louisiana, a group of nurses with decades of combined experience set out to solve a problem they knew all too well—bridging the gap between overburdened healthcare facilities and nurses searching for meaningful, fulfilling opportunities.

They understood the challenges firsthand: sleepless nights, missed shifts, and the uncertainty of relying on agencies that felt more like businesses than partners. From this shared understanding, Nurses Direct was born.

As a nurse-owned staffing agency, Nurses Direct was built on three core beliefs:

Quality care begins with people who feel cared for themselves.
Facilities deserve dependable, skilled professionals who show up ready to make a difference.
Nurses deserve an agency that recognizes their value—not just as workers but as individuals with unique goals, dreams, and lives beyond their shifts.

For nurses, it means confidence in every placement, flexibility to balance life and work, and the assurance that they’re supported by an agency that truly understands. For healthcare facilities, Nurses Direct is a partner, not just a provider. Here, we know the stakes—where patient outcomes, staff morale, and operational efficiency depend on reliable staffing.

In a world of faceless corporations and 1099 staffing models, Nurses Direct stands apart. We are not just an agency; we’re a community of caregivers driven by purpose and guided by our roots.
