Protect your data privacy as a travel nurse.

Protecting data privacy is a pillar of Kamana’s core values.

View Kamana’s Privacy Policy to get an understanding of how much we care about your data privacy, and keeping your data protected.

As a travel nurse, I’ve experienced first-hand the relentless calls, texts, and emails from recruiters and employers vying for my attention — about jobs I never asked for in places I’m not interested in going. I’ve heard the same complaints from many fellow travel nurses. Each contract I took surrounded me with new colleagues who experience the same issues with their own privacy. After years of travel nursing, I decided to seriously look at where my data was going, how it got there, and who put it there.

Unfortunately, there’s likely no way to trace your steps back to the true cause of these data privacy failures. If you’ve ever given your information to a resource that promises to “get you the best contracts”, you’re likely already on multiple call lists. It’s a trap we’re all vulnerable to, especially new nurses with limited experience.

What you can do, though, is start to take back your data privacy. Here are a few critical steps to help get the process started.

1. Start removing yourself from lead generator lists you’re currently on
2. Stop putting your personal information in vulnerable places, with other lead generators, etc.
3. Add yourself to the Do Not Call List
4. Politely ask recruiters you no longer want to work with to stop calling you. You can always reconnect with these employers if you want to later.
