We specialize in healthcare staffing, mainly staffing Registered Nurses in the Kansas City market, Oklahoma, and Texas. We have been in business since the 1980s, we focus on providing excellent customer service to our clients and especially our nurses. We have recruiters who specialize in local contracts here in the KC area, as well as recruiters who specialize in travel nursing. Squadbuilders is a division of Professional Nursing Services, a company originally founded in 1981, located in Phoenix, AZ making it effectively the first PNS location. PNS quickly found an ever growing demand staffing RN's in specialty units within large hospital systems. By the mid 80's, PNS expanded to several offices spanning multiple states when the opportunity to enter Kansas City emerged. In October of 1989, the Kansas City office filled its first order. Since that time we have expanded in to many regional markets including Sacramento, CA in 2004. Our local and regional footprint allows us to offer a vast array of services to meet our clients needs. Today, through our extensive network and strong partnerships, we successfully place thousands of talented clinicians every year.
