What Is Travel Nursing?
Travel nursing helps solve nursing shortages throughout the nation. Travelers work and travel from facility to facility on 13-week short-term contracts in areas that are in high-demand for nurses with a specific specialty. Since the demand is high, the paychecks are also higher than that of a staff nurse. This is a draw to the field, but the freedom and flexibility to take a month off between contracts or go to an area you have on your bucket list has made travel nursing popular among registered nurses. Travel nursing also helps to boost work-life balance and combats nurse fatigue and burnout. The industry is changing and you have the power!
To become a travel nurse you must: graduate with a BSN or ADN, pass the NCLEX, receive your nursing license, and gain at least one year of experience in a given specialty. Opportunities are endless for nurses that have at least one year of RN experience! Once this requirement is met, you can start travel nursing. There are travel nurse contracts for a variety of specialties throughout the nation. These short-term contracts are a great way to build a resume, explore the nation, or make a difference to a population that needs you the most. Venture down a new path to find your next adventure!
