FAQs

Travel nurses are basically regular nurses, except they work on short term contracts, often in various cities. Contracts generally are 13-weeks in duration, but many can be shorter and in some cases longer. It’s very possible that these contracts are extended and a nurse will stay at one hospital for a longer period of time. Some nurses, however, prefer to remain on the go and explore new cities, new locations, and often a variety clinical settings with each new assignment. Travel nurse who try to maintain steady assignments without any lengthy gaps in between will typically average about four contract assignments per year.

You will need at least one year of experience in your specialty, preferably in a hospital or clinical setting, before you can apply for travel nurse jobs. There are some facilities who may require two years + of experience, and still others require previous travel nursing experience.
