Travel assignments typically last 13 weeks, although some jobs may be shorter or longer. The length of the assignment is determined by the needs of the facility where the traveler will be working. For example, a 13-week assignment may be used to cover someone on maternity leave, while an 8-week assignment may be used to cover a vacation. Once the assignment is complete, the traveler is free to return home or take another assignment. Depending on the facility’s demands, the traveler may be asked to extend and take another assignment at the same place, or they can choose to go to a new facility entirely.
The short answer is yes – but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to obtain a nursing license in the state where you want to work. Each state has its own application process and license requirements, so be sure to do your research ahead of time. You can use the job map located on our website to learn more information about different state’s license processing times, duration, associated fees, and if the state is a part of the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC). Nurses with a primary residence in a compact state can apply for a multi-state license, giving them the ability to work in all 41 states (as of April 2024) that are a part of the NLC. If your state is not a part of the NLC, you will have to apply individually to every state you want to practice medicine in. Once you have your license, you can start applying for jobs! Working as an RN outside of your home state can be a great way to broaden your horizons and gain new experience.
Travel nurses can expect to earn a competitive salary. This is due to several factors, including supply and demand, experience, the number of working hours, and stipends. Many travel healthcare agencies offer benefits such as tax-free housing, meals, and travel stipends. Plus, they also typically assist with licensing and credentialing, making it easy for nurses to get started in their new roles. As a result, travel nurses can enjoy both financial and professional rewards by pursuing this unique career path.
