Benefits and Incentive Programs

As a travel nurse, you receive some of the best benefits in the industry, sometimes even better than nurses working in full-time, permanent positions.

Our travel partners: American Mobile Healthcare, NursesRx, Medical Express, Preferred Healthcare Staffing, O'Grady Peyton International, NurseChoice (4- to 8-week assignments), and RN Extend (9- to 12-month assignments) are the most experienced travel health care companies in the industry and offer competitive pay and benefits.

Compensation and Bonuses

Competitive pay rates
Travel nurses receive lucrative pay rates through our partners. Hourly rates vary for each assignment, up to $40 per hour for registered nurses. While on assignment, you will be paid by the payroll department of your travel nursing company.

Sign-on and completion bonuses
Are you interested in earning some extra cash? Many of the facilities that our travel partners work with offer sign-on and completion bonuses of up to $6,000 for travelers. Your recruiter can provide you with further details.

Referral bonuses
Referring friends and colleagues to travel nursing makes the industry stronger. When you refer a coworker or friend to one of our travel partners, you will receive a bonus of $500 when your friend completes a 13-week assignment.

Guaranteed pay
With our partners, you will be paid even if you are called off because of low census. Check with your recruiter for specific guidelines.

401(k) retirement plan and flexible spending accounts
Many travel nurse companies will allow their travelers to participate in their 401(k) plans. Our travel partners provide 401(k) plans with matching employer contributions to travel nurses.

In addition, if you incur costs for childcare or other dependents, you may be eligible to participate in corporate Flexible Benefit Plans and save hundreds or thousands of dollars via tax-free reimbursement for these costs. You may also elect to contribute funds to a pre-tax medical spending account.

Reward/incentive programs
Many travel nurse companies offer reward programs, similar to those used by airlines. For each assignment you complete, you receive points redeemable for cash, trips or discounted products and services. Our partners also offer discount programs with special rates for cell phones, pagers, roadside assistance, luggage, health club memberships and more.
