What We Do

13-Week Travel Nurse Contracts Built for Facility Stability

Travel nurse staffing fills the gap between a critical vacancy and a permanent hire — without the cost and risk of rushing a direct placement. Hearthstone places credentialed RNs on structured 13-week agreements, with the option to extend based on your facility's evolving census needs.

Whether you're managing a planned leave of absence, a sudden resignation, or sustained census growth, travel nurses from Hearthstone arrive compliant, credentialed, and ready to contribute from day one.

  • Immunization records and TB documentation
  • BLS/ACLS certification verification
  • Facility-specific orientation coordination

FAQ

Travel Nurse Staffing — Common Questions

How long are travel nurse contracts with Hearthstone & Co.?

Standard contracts are 13 weeks, mirroring the industry norm for travel nursing. Extensions are offered in advance — typically 4 weeks before contract end — and can run week-by-week or in new 13-week blocks depending on mutual availability.

How quickly can you deploy a travel nurse to our facility?

After contract execution and full credentialing sign-off, most placements begin within 1–2 weeks. For urgent situations, we can often accelerate the timeline if a pre-credentialed match is already available in our pipeline.

Do you serve facilities outside of Houston proper?

Yes. Hearthstone serves the full Greater Houston market including Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Conroe, Pasadena, Pearland, Humble, and surrounding areas across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties.

Who handles the credentialing process — us or Hearthstone?

Hearthstone handles the full credentialing process on your behalf. We compile licensure, background checks, immunization records, certifications, and facility-specific requirements, and deliver a complete compliance package to your HR or credentialing team before the nurse starts.

Can a travel nurse convert to a permanent hire?

Yes. We offer temp-to-hire conversion pathways. If a travel nurse is a strong fit for your team and both parties are interested in a permanent transition, Hearthstone can facilitate that process.
