Travel Nurse Across America Sponsors OR Nurse as Mercy Ships Volunteer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (October 20, 2016) – Travel Nurse Across America (TNAA), a healthcare staffing
agency that places travel nurses on assignment in all 50 states, has announced Jill Wellman as a
sponsored Mercy Ships volunteer. Mercy Ships is the world’s largest floating civilian hospital that
provides lifesaving surgeries for people where medical care is nearly non-existent, free of charge.
Wellman is the fourth Mercy Ships nurse that TNAA has sponsored. She will be working aboard the
Africa Mercy, docked in Cotonou, Benin in South Africa.
“Our Mercy Ships nurse sponsorship is held close to our hearts,” said CEO Gene Scott. “We believe
in the volunteer work these healthcare professionals are doing, and are thankful for their calling
to better the lives of individuals that would otherwise not have medical care available.”
According to Mercy Ships, more than 2.48 million people have benefited from their services.
Currently, Wellman has been serving under privileged people in the area for almost two
weeks aboard the Africa Mercy. “It’s not just about the medical work. It’s about the people
themselves, and able to convey to each other,” shares Wellman. “Hope in a life restored –
either physically or spiritually, or both. And love that is able to transcend differences.”

Travel Nurse Across America places travel nurse professionals on multi-week assignments in

Certification with Distinction by The Joint Commission and is a founding member of the National
Association of Travel Healthcare Organizations (NATHO).
