Hi, eugenebrin-ga:
I was able to find one company that offers software solutions specific
to the needs of a travel nurse placement agency. They have an
administrative software produce called AST HealthMate (see blurb
below), and a recruitment solution called Searcher:

"Recent activity confirms surge in Medical Staffing sector"
"During the last six months, we have seen a significant rise in orders
for our Medical Staffing modules confirming the positive buzz about
this sector of the staffing industry. Inquires have increased
significantly in both the supplemental nursing and travel nurse
models. AST’s 18 years of development work in this area has definitely
given us an advantage over software companies that are now
transitioning into this side of the staffing industry. Clients who
have been choosing the AST solution have been overwhelmingly impressed
with the complete integration that the AST HealthMate package offers.

Another thought: if you are interested in a fully functional system,
consider the possibility of a franchise purchase, versus a software
only package. Specifically in the Medical Staffing area with a
partial focus on "Travel RNs", I was able to find Jasneek, which in
cooperation with HappyCareer.com, claims to offer a complete business
system and guaranteed territory:
Jasneek

"Q:As a franchisee, what can I expect to receive as initial and
ongoing training from Jasneek?
Jasneek provides each franchisee with a seven to fourteen day
comprehensive training program that includes user guides, job aids,
formal class room, hands on training and role playing. In addition,
they receive their own Franchise Operation Manual as their very own
business bible. Franchisee’s are provided State of the Art business
applications, which streamline the staffing functions and provide
access to one of the industries most powerful career web portals.
.Franchisee’s also receive a comprehensive marketing report which

Because of the limited number of offerings specifically for travel
nurse placement, I broadened my search to look at medical staffing
software. There are predictably a much larger number of these
products, which would be more focused on your needs than general
employment services company software, e.g. including credential
checking components.
One such company is DCT Computer Systems Inc.: "formed in 1995 to meet
the specific demands of medical staffing industry by designing from
the ground up a medical specific, calendar based staffing application
that also monitors nursing credentials at the point of scheduling."

Here's another pointer to software, found at www.nursefriendly.com:
Nurse Staffing Software:
Premier Computer Systems, Inc.:"The healthcare industry is ever
changing at a rapid pace. Institutional patient census keeps
fluctuating, new technologies require special training, and qualified
professionals are getting harder to recruit and retain. Most computer
staffing systems are not designed to accommodate the special needs of
the healthcare field let alone keep up with the rate of change. To
help you succeed in this ever changing environment, Premier Computer
Systems (PCS) designs and develops Medical Staffing Software
Solutions, namely StaffMED™. A product resulting from a combined 75
plus years of experience, StaffMED™ is a fully integrated software
system designed to meet the unique needs of the medical staffing
industry. It automates the day to day tasks of daily (per diem)
scheduling along with credential and skills management. It also
provides effective communication tools to maximize the productivity of
your staff."

Their site also has a virtual checklist of things to consider in
starting a nursing agency at:
"Starting A Nursing Agency, How To Start An Agency"
http://www.nursefriendly.com/nursing/directory/nursingentrepreneurs/starting.a.nursing.agency.htm
Important among these things, of course, is to check references of any
software or other business service providers before entering into
contract discussions with them. Check with Better Business Bureaus in
their areas and ask for names of clients who would be willing to speak
with you.
I mention these (obvious) points to underscore that I have no personal
knowledge of the competence or integrity of any of the companies
listed above, and this answer, though intended to be helpful
information, should not be taken as any kind of recommendation.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this question.
I was not able to ascertain pricing information from any of the sites
found above. It would perhaps be best for you to request such
information by mail, since the description of what is included with a
price would be critical to assessing its value.
Search strategy:
keywords: "travel nurse" software sales
keywords: "travel RN" software
keywords: "medical staffing software" travel
