TRAVEL NURSING JOBS
Hospitals need travel nurses to avoid work stoppages or in some cases, to keep the hospital open. It is a simple case of supply and demand.
Travel nurses are contracted for 8-52 weeks via specialized travel nursing agencies. The best travel nursing agencies supply the professional travel nurse with housing, travel money, benefits and retirement plans. In addition, travel nursing agencies also pay above market wages to work and live in a new locale. All of this is included in the travel nurse contract.
TRAVEL NURSING HOUSING
Travel nurses are provided with furnished housing but a tax-free lodging per diem is an option if you meet the qualifications. Your travel nursing agency will tell you about the qualifications.
TRANSPORTATION TO YOUR TRAVEL NURSING JOBS:
Travel nurses receive either a mileage reimbursement or round trip air ticket. Having a car is always recommended so you can see the sights.
TRAVEL NURSING AGENCY BENEFITS:
Here's an area where not all travel nursing agencies are made equal. Millenia Medical Staffing benefits include health, dental and workers compensation. Many agencies have 401 Ks. Look these over carefully and compare. You may also want to check with your personal financial advisor on what sort of individual retirement plans are available to you. Your extra compensation might provide you with a way to enhance your tax favored retirement savings.
TRAVEL NURSING IS A PLUS FOR YOUR RESUME:
Aside from great pay and benefits, travel assignments will enhance the resume. Working as a travel nurse exhibits your ability to be flexible and adapt to new and changing environments. The longer you work in this arena and the more assignments you show on your resume will only serve to make you look more attractive to future employers.
