AMN Healthcare

AMN Healthcare is one of the largest healthcare workforce companies in the United States, with more than 30 years of staffing experience and a workforce that includes nurses, allied health professionals, physicians, and advanced practice clinicians. CNAs fit primarily into the per diem side of the business, picking up shifts at hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehab hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and assisted living communities.

The agency runs the AMN Passport mobile app for browsing and claiming shifts, with active CNA listings across roughly two dozen states and hourly rates that vary widely by market. Pay tends to run higher in lower-cost regions and lower in dense metro markets like Los Angeles and New York.

CNAs working with AMN get access to a recruiter, app-based scheduling, and the agency's broader resource network. Travel CNA assignments are not the focus here. If you want consistent local per diem work with a national operator behind it, AMN is one of the bigger names to know.
