The Northern California system will pay full travel rates to its own nurses willing to flex across its 30 hospitals.
Sutter Health on Monday announced an in-house travel program — “Sutter Mobile” — that will pay full external-agency travel rates to its own permanent nurses willing to take 8- to 13-week assignments at any of the system’s 30 hospitals.
The move is the largest in-house travel program at any nonprofit health system in the country, by census, and explicitly aims to displace external agency spending.
