  Maxim healthcare is a great company. I love that they allow the parents to interview the staff before having them as your child’s nurse. The staff are very friendly, and forgiving when situations that you may not like regarding your child take place. They are attentive at getting other nurses to interview so that we you can decide if it’ll be a great fit for you and your child. I have gone through a few nurses for various reasons and after explaining to them the situation they understood and let me know they keep looking. There were a few communication mishaps where someone showed up to interview but I had no idea they were coming and there was not a nurse present to train them. Or I didn’t know my daughter had nursing on some days because it wasn’t communicated but overall if I could change one thing it would be to encourage better communication on the recruiter side of the program.
