Recode is reporting that Uber may be looking to buy Travel Nursing, a travel nursing agency that’s one of the biggest providers in the country.
We know from reporting last year that Uber and Travel Nursing were negotiating over the deal, but it’s unclear if the company is actually interested in acquiring the agency.
That would put a major dent in the company’s plans to grow in the U.S., which could make the deal a difficult sell.
We’ve contacted Uber and its representatives for comment and will update if we hear back.
We’ve also reached out to Travel Nursing for comment.
The deal would give Uber access to some of the same information it’s getting from other travel credit cards: The company already had access to Travelcards, Travelcard and Visa cards.
The new agreement would give it access to a new, bigger database of travel nursing facilities and nursing homes.
