Cross Country Healthcare

Cross Country Healthcare is a national staffing company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with roots going back to the 1980s and a portfolio that absorbed Medical Staffing Network in 2014. The company places nurses, allied health professionals, and education staff on travel, local, per diem, and permanent assignments across all 50 states.

For CNAs, the active book of business runs toward 13-week travel contracts at hospitals, long-term care facilities, and rehab settings, plus school-based education roles in places like California. Recent travel CNA postings have included weekly rates around $1,000 to $1,200 in markets like Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Local and per diem CNA work is available through their resource pool but is less heavily marketed than the travel side.

Cross Country runs a referral rewards program that pays bonuses for placing nurses and allied professionals, and offers standard travel benefits including housing stipends, medical and dental coverage, and 401(k) options. CNAs working travel assignments here can expect the same general structure offered to RNs, scaled to CNA pay bands.
