If you’re looking for a career that offers both security and flexibility, travel positions may be a great choice for you.

One of the main benefits of travel nursing is right in the name – travel. In a travel position, you will be able to explore different cities and states throughout the country. You can choose assignments in places you have always wanted to visit or that are near family. Hate the cold? Spend your winters working in a warmer climate like Florida or Texas. In addition to exploring new places, you won’t have to worry about housing expenses – most agencies, like us, provide either free housing or a housing stipend that will cover the cost of your living arrangements.

Another benefit of being a traveling healthcare professional is flexibility and the freedom to control your own schedule. An assignment can last anywhere from four to 13 weeks, although some may last up to 26 weeks (some contacts do have extensions). But what you do in between assignments is up to you. You can spend time with family or take a vacation before starting a new assignment. You may also decide you want to work back-to-back assignments or balance consecutive assignments with longer breaks. You may also be able to work shifts that suit your unique preferences.

As a travel healthcare professional, you accelerate your experience and build a strong resume. Your assignments will take you to a variety of healthcare environments from large city hospitals to small rural clinics and expose you to diverse patient populations. You will be able to learn about new technologies, new procedures, and treatments, and receive continuing education. You may also have an opportunity to learn new specialties. If you have experience in a specialty such as ICU, some hospitals maybe place you in PACU.

Beyond the obvious career proficiencies acquired from your assignments, you will find myriad other ways in which travel positions can help you grow as an individual. Being a travel nurse will make you more adaptable, confident, and well-rounded. In addition to helping you personally, these traits or ‘soft skills are very well regarded by future employers.

Although you may be traveling solo, you’ll never really be alone. You will be in contact with an APN Account Manager who will coordinate your assignments, help you with your relocation and advocate on your behalf. Help or advice is only a phone call away
