What is travel nursing? How does it work?


I am looking for a nursing company that provides nurses for hospitals

Travel nursing is one of the highest paid jobs within the nursing profession. Basically nurses travel to different locations filling in where they are needed. There are companies who will provide transportation, housing, and meals to their traveling nursing staff. Traveling nurses can sometimes even travel with family and friends. You can find out more about a traveling nurse at http://www.registered-nurse-staffing.com

Travel nursing and the Travel Nursing Industry developed in response to the nursing shortage in which nurses are relocated for short-term nursing positions. The current severe shortage of nurses in the United States has increased the need for this type of position and hospitals and recruitment agencies are offering incentives ranging from relocation assistance and furnished housing to stipends and bonuses to qualified registered nurses and lpn/lvn's as well as an assortment of allied health professionals.

If the nurse's home state has joined the Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators (NLCA), the nurse can work in any compact state without paying for another license or filing any paper work. All that is required is to have a license (RN or LPN) in good standing in their resident Compact state. There are currently 20 states participating in NLCA with 3 states pending implementation.

There are over 400 USA and International Travel Nurse-Allied agencies.

This is a website with a list of Travel Nurse Agencies!

Good Luck!
