CCRN

Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.

A company that places nurses, therapists, and physicians on temporary assignments at hospitals and health systems across the U.S., plus educators and home-care staff, through brands like Cross Country Locums and its Intellify® and Xperience™ software platforms. Founded in 1986 as Cross Country Healthcare Personnel, it pioneered the travel-nursing industry and got its name from sending clinicians to work "across the country," often on roughly 13-week stints. It holds The Joint Commission certification and is one of the larger players in U.S. healthcare staffing.
