Data Policy
Connect Travel Nurse – Data Management Policy
- Data Integrity & Verification
As a specialized nursing agency, we prioritize the accuracy of our clinical database.
- License Verification: We cross-reference all nursing licenses through the Nursys database and state Boards of Nursing.
- Credential Updates: Nurses are responsible for ensuring their certifications (BLS, ACLS, etc.) are current. Our system will provide automated alerts 60 days prior to document expiration.
- Sensitive Document Handling
We recognize that resumes and licenses contain personal identifiable information (PII).
- Encryption: All uploaded documents are encrypted “at rest” and “in transit” using SSL technology to prevent unauthorized access.
- Access Control: Access to your professional file is restricted strictly to the Connect Travel Nurse recruitment and credentialing team. We do not display your full contact details to facilities until a formal interview or contract offer is initiated.
- Data Sharing with Facilities
By applying to a contract through Connect Travel Nurse, you authorize us to share a professional “Candidate Profile” with our healthcare partners. This profile typically includes:
- Your clinical work history and specialty skills.
- Relevant certifications and license status.
- Professional references and competency exam scores.
- Note: We do not share your Social Security Number or private home address with facilities during the initial screening phase.
- Data Minimization & Retention
We follow a “need-to-know” data policy:
- Retention: We retain candidate records for 3 years after your last active contract to comply with state healthcare staffing audits.
- Deletion: You may request the deactivation of your profile at any time. Upon request, we will archive your clinical file and cease all marketing communications within 30 days.
- Reporting a Security Concern
If you suspect your account has been compromised, or if you notice a discrepancy in your clinical data, please contact our Data Security Officer immediately at security@connecttravelnurse.com.
