How long are travel nursing assignments?

Typically, assignments range from 8 to 13 weeks. However, we can often be flexible, offering shorter or longer assignments customized to your needs. And many times, you can extend an assignment you particularly enjoy.

Is there a guarantee of hours for travel nursing assignments?

All of the assignments are for full time 36- or 40-hour work weeks. If you would like more hours, however, many assignments also offer the opportunity to work overtime.

What kind of facility will I work in as a travel nurse?

Large travel companies offer assignments in all 50 states, across all disciplines and specialties. Assignments range from large teaching facilities in major cities to smaller community hospitals in rural settings. We also offer assignments in government facilities including VAMC and clinics, U.S. Military bases located both here and abroad and Native Indian hospitals in the west.

How do I choose an travel nursing assignment?

Once the company has reviewed your application and skills checklist, you and your recruiter will discuss your assignment expectations, career goals and your desired destination in order to find the best assignment for you. You will then be presented with available assignments, including details on the pay rate, facility, unit, shifts, location and bonuses. From that list, you will interview with the facilities of your choice. Most interviews are done over the phone. After your interview, you and your recruiter will decide which assignment to take.

How long will it take to approve my application and start my travel nursing assignment?

Some travelers interview the day they submit their application, starting their first assignment within a week, while others plan their assignments several months down the road. How quickly you can start traveling depends on your schedule. Having your documentation in order and license current for the state where you will be practicing is a big advantage. All travel companies will work with you to help you get all the paperwork and credential requirements organized in time for your assignment start date.
