Get Packing for These Perks
Travel nurse jobs are proving popular among your nursing colleagues. Working elsewhere else right now sounds really appealing. But is the good life going to leave you out of pocket? Is it all too good to be true?
Travel nurses are uniquely positioned to ease nursing shortages across the country:
- The American Nurses Association says the looming retirement age for baby boomers will leave 1.1 million positions to be filled
- The pandemic has seen healthcare facilities hauling in travel nurses to support fluctuating staffing levels and skills
As a travel nurse, you’ll open a world of opportunity and a catalog of perks. Read on to discover why so many nurses are turning to travel nurse jobs.
What’s Involved in Travel Nursing?
Before jumping to the perks, first know the details of the role. As a travel nurse, you’ll be temporarily but crucially filling staff shortages in healthcare facilities across America. You’ll be assigned to one place for between 13 and 26 weeks, before you leave for another assignment.
Don’t be afraid of the word ‘temporary’. With good planning and a specialist staffing agency on hand, demand will ensure work is readily available.
Personal Perks
There are some great advantages to working as a travel nurse, including:
- Flexibility over your working schedule
- Meeting new people
- Varied work settings
- Job security
- Learning new skills
- Discovering new places
- No office politics
- Enhanced career opportunities
Travel nurse jobs provide all this, in lengthy careers. But wait, there’s more.
Financial Perks
Besides increased job satisfaction and a more fulfilled personal life, as a travel nurse you also benefit from some incredibly supportive financial perks.
Travel nurses typically receive higher pay than staff nurses. Other ways you can earn more include:
- Working in a higher-paid location (For example, Florida travel nurse jobs are highly rated, in demand due to an aging population, and set in a beautiful location)
- Specialty
- Overtime
The flexibility of choosing how much you work can greatly impact your earning potential.
A specialist staffing agency is a wise partnership for any travel nurse. They help you line up well-matched assignments, manage your applications, and support you along the way. Some offer perks that make huge differences to travel nurses.
Housing costs for travel nurses are usually covered or contributed towards. On top of this, here at Loyal Source, as well as 24-hour assistance and support, we offer the following to our travel nurses:
