Travel Nurses Inc. has once again been recognized as one of the best travel nursing companies in the country, earning the #2 spot on BluePipes’ 2026 list of the Best Travel Nursing Companies.
For Travel Nurses Inc., this recognition is more than another award. It represents four consecutive years of being recognized among the best travel nursing agencies in the United States—and the second consecutive year TNI has earned the #2 ranking.
Even more importantly, the recognition comes from a ranking built around thousands of healthcare professional reviews rather than a paid placement or popularity contest.
BluePipes has been publishing its annual list of the best travel nursing companies for ten consecutive years. For its 2026 rankings, BluePipes evaluated more than 450 travel healthcare companies and nearly 230,000 reviews from five major review sources.
Those sources include:
BluePipes then calculates an aggregate score, compares each company’s performance with the previous year, applies bonuses or penalties based on changes in review scores, and manually reviews the top companies to verify the quality of their reviews.
BluePipes also makes an important distinction: companies cannot pay to be included on the list.
That makes Travel Nurses Inc.’s #2 ranking particularly meaningful.
In 2026, Travel Nurses Inc. earned a 102.27 total score, placing it second only to Stability Healthcare. TNI had 214 total reviews and increased its aggregate average review score from 97.45 to 98.86, while also earning bonus points for improving its Google score.
One of the most impressive parts of the recognition is that this isn’t the first time Travel Nurses Inc. has appeared on BluePipes’ list.
TNI has now been recognized for four consecutive years:
| Year | BluePipes Ranking |
|---|---|
| 2023 | #3 |
| 2024 | #7 |
| 2025 | #2 |
| 2026 | #2 |
That means Travel Nurses Inc. has remained among the top travel nursing companies through a period when the travel healthcare industry experienced significant changes.
In 2023, BluePipes placed Travel Nurses Inc. at #3 and noted that the company’s aggregate average score had increased significantly. BluePipes also highlighted TNI’s nurse-founded roots, its engagement letter review process, and its user-friendly job board.
In 2024, TNI ranked #7. BluePipes specifically noted that reviewers described TNI recruiters as quick to respond and highly personable, while also praising the company’s organized onboarding process. BluePipes also highlighted TNI’s travel and PRN opportunities and its user-friendly job board.
Then came 2025.
Travel Nurses Inc. jumped from #7 to #2, earning a total score of 101.95 across 213 reviews. BluePipes reported that healthcare professionals praised TNI recruiters for being thorough, attentive, accessible, supportive and not pushy. Reviewers also appreciated TNI’s benefits and technology.
And in 2026, TNI remained at #2.
That’s consistency.
Being recognized as one of the best travel nursing companies isn’t simply about having open jobs.
For healthcare professionals, the agency they choose becomes an important part of their travel career. A great agency should help a nurse or allied professional navigate everything from finding the right assignment to understanding compensation, completing compliance requirements, preparing for a new facility and getting support once the assignment begins.
BluePipes’ reviews of Travel Nurses Inc. repeatedly point to several areas where TNI stands out.
Travel healthcare can be complicated.
Clinicians are often comparing locations, pay packages, housing options, benefits, schedules and facility expectations—all while trying to determine whether an assignment is actually right for them.
BluePipes reviewers repeatedly praise Travel Nurses Inc. recruiters for being responsive, attentive, accessible and supportive.
That matters because the best travel nursing recruiter isn’t necessarily the person who simply finds a job the fastest.
It’s the recruiter who understands what the clinician is looking for and helps them make a good decision.
BluePipes specifically noted that TNI reviewers appreciate recruiters who are thorough and supportive without being overly aggressive or “pushy” with their sales approach.
Travel Nurses Inc. has a history that is different from many staffing agencies.
According to the company’s BluePipes profile, TNI is owned by OR Nurses Nationwide and has roots dating back to 1988, when the organization began staffing operating-room settings. The organization later expanded into other nursing specialties and allied healthcare professions nationwide.
Travel Nurses Inc. itself was established in 2017, building upon that long-standing healthcare staffing history.
That nurse-founded heritage matters.
The company was built around understanding healthcare professionals—not simply filling vacancies.
That philosophy is reflected in TNI’s stated values:
Integrity. Service. Excellence.
One of the biggest concerns for travel nurses is understanding exactly what they are agreeing to before accepting an assignment.
In its 2023 review, BluePipes specifically highlighted Travel Nurses Inc.’s Engagement Letter Review.
This process requires recruiters to review the important details of the contract with the healthcare professional before the assignment begins.
Why does that matter?
Because an assignment should never come with surprises.
Travel Nurses Inc. believes clinicians deserve to understand the details of their assignment before they say yes—not after they arrive at the facility.
Being a great travel nursing agency isn’t just about having great recruiters.
The technology behind the traveler’s experience matters too.
BluePipes has repeatedly highlighted Travel Nurses Inc.’s website and job board as strengths.
In its 2025 review, BluePipes described TNI’s job board as intuitive and noted that the website provides user-friendly features for submitting timesheets and schedules.
That combination of personal recruiter support + technology gives clinicians the best of both worlds.
You can have a real person helping you when you need them while still having digital tools that make the administrative side of travel healthcare easier.
Although the company’s name is synonymous with travel nursing, Travel Nurses Inc. supports healthcare professionals across multiple employment models.
BluePipes reports that TNI staffs:
The company also staffs both nursing and allied healthcare professionals nationwide.
That gives healthcare professionals more flexibility as their careers and personal circumstances change.
There are plenty of healthcare staffing agencies in the United States.
BluePipes evaluated more than 450 travel healthcare companies for its 2026 ranking.
Travel Nurses Inc. finished #2.
But perhaps the more compelling story is the four-year track record.
#3 in 2023.
#7 in 2024.
#2 in 2025.
#2 in 2026.
That is not a one-year spike.
It demonstrates sustained performance across multiple years and multiple review platforms.
Every healthcare professional should compare agencies before choosing their next assignment.
But if you’re looking for an agency with a strong track record, personalized service and a reputation backed by independent reviews, Travel Nurses Inc. deserves a place at the top of your list.
Here are a few reasons to consider TNI:
Travel Nurses Inc.’s BluePipes recognition isn’t based on what the company says about itself. It’s based on what healthcare professionals are saying about their experiences—and that distinction matters.
Choosing a travel nursing agency is ultimately a personal decision.
Pay matters. Benefits matter. Job availability matters.
But so does the person on the other end of the phone when something goes wrong.
A travel assignment can take you across the country and into a completely new environment. Having a recruiter and staffing team that communicate clearly, answer questions and support you throughout the assignment can make a tremendous difference.
That’s the type of relationship Travel Nurses Inc. has worked to build.
And the fact that BluePipes has recognized the company among the best travel nursing companies in America for four consecutive years suggests that healthcare professionals are noticing.
Whether you’re an experienced traveler looking for your next assignment, a nurse considering travel nursing for the first time, or an allied healthcare professional exploring new opportunities, Travel Nurses Inc. is ready to help.
