I have been with Â鶹ֱ²¥ since February 2024 and I can't complain, my team has been amazing and supportive. They are extremely patient, respectful and understanding. When I first started with Aya I wasn't able to complete my contract due to an unexpected family emergency, I had to end my contract without giving a two-week notice. I felt awful, ashamed and embarrassed. Aya and my travel agent Ricky did not make me feel inadequate instead they worked with me to come up with a realistic plan so I can travel while being a mom who home school her children.Ricky Lowdermilk is my travel nurse recruiter; I would not change him for the world. He has been my rock and part of my support system. Being a travel nurse is not as easy as some may make it seem. You are held to a higher standard than sometimes your staff nurses. All eyes are on you, and you have to work extra hard sometimes even harder. However, you get to meet so many great people such as patients, nurses, LNAs, doctors, NPs, etc., while getting to know their community and that to me is priceless. Ricky has been nothing but supportive and encouraging. Ricky is reliable, kind, empathetic, and an amazing listener. He allows me to vent pent-up frustration and always gives me the best advice. Thank you Aya and Ricky for all that you do for us nurses. I appreciate all the support!

I recently just signed with Aya and my recruiter Ricky Lowdermilk was able to make my transition as smooth giving me all the resources i need and was able to get me a contract where i always wanted to go in two days! I am thankful that i have a recruiter that responds in a timely manner and in close contact!

My recruiter Ricky Loudermilk and his support staff like Erin Sherlock are the reason I stay working with Aya. The contracts come and go but they are always there to keep things together.

Ricky Lowdermilk has consistently delivered the best assignments for me throughout my travel nursing career. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to finding assignments that truly fit my needs have set him apart as an outstanding recruiter.One instance that stands out is when I found myself in a difficult assignment that wasn’t aligned with my goals or preferences. Ricky took immediate action, listening to my concerns and working diligently to find a position that better suited my needs. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to transition to an assignment that not only met but exceeded my expectations.Ricky’s ability to provide personalized support and his dedication to my professional satisfaction have made him an invaluable asset. I highly recommend him to any healthcare professional seeking a recruiter who consistently goes above and beyond.

Â鶹ֱ²¥ing with Aya was definitely a nerve wracking leap by Ricky Lowdermilk (my recruiter) made the transition seamless! Very personable, finds jobs suitable for you, and actively checks in throughout the contract. I was blessed to have him as my recruiter and I absolutely recommend him to all my colleagues!

I became a part of the Â鶹ֱ²¥ in 2021 and had two recruiters during that time but did not secure a travel assignment until 2024 with Ricky Lowdermilk. Ricky is very attentive, kind, encouraging, and supportive. Throughout my assignment he always makes sure to check in with me, which is reassuring to me that I chose the right company to be a part of.

I have been with Aya for about 9 months now and Ricky Lowdermilk has been my recruiter since I started! He has made him self available for any issues or concerns I may have, always supportive, and very knowledgeable. He is the reason I intend to stay with Aya for a long time!

I just got back into travel nursing after two years working as staff. I decided to go with Aya because of my interactions with my recruiter, Ricky Lowdermilk. He made the application process very easy and stayed in constant communication with me, even on the weekend. Once I got my assignment, the start date was three weeks away. I really wanted to start as soon as possible and Ricky knew this so he pushed for an earlier start date. My entire team worked hard to get my compliance items completed and get the earlier start date approved. I was able to start one week earlier thanks to their hard work.I am one week into my assignment and the support from my team has continued. I am grateful to them for such a smooth transition back into travel nursing.

Aya is one of the better travel agencies I have had the pleasure to work with. Ricky Lowdermilk is an excellent recruiter and I would recommend him to anyone. He has an amazing personality and a great work ethic to boot. Great response times and all around made this experience worth it!
