Benefits of Travel Nursing

Travel Nursing has become a popular option for Registered Nurses because the opportunities are endless.  You have a unique chance to go try out a new city and all the exciting things it has to offer. There has been a recent boom in positions available nationwide and you as a travel nurse can practically choose where you would like to go!

Some of the largest benefits to travel nursing include the ability to travel, housing stipend/free housing, expanding network groups and gaining experience.

Ability to Travel
Though this perk seems to be a bit obvious, it is important to remember a few things:

• First, the ability to travel is not available in most positions.  This is something that is special about your degree/license that many other disciplines simply cannot offer and something you will be thankful you used to its full advantage!
• Second, that there are so many things about traveling that make this unique feature invaluable to not only your growth as a professional, but also as a person.  Exploring your new city includes all the things it would if you were to take a vacation: the ability to sightsee, explore new places and meet new faces.  The added benefit of living in a new city is that these new and exciting things become your backyard to explore for the duration of your assignment.
• Finally, because of the boom in opportunities, you can have a large influence over the adventure you would like to take.  We have so many positions available that you can pick a favorite city or state and we will find the position that best suits you.

Housing Stipend/Free Housing
How often do you get to travel for free or even get paid to do so?  This is nearly unheard of for so many other professions and is yet another perk of your travel nursing assignment. 

Through Source Healthcare Staffing, we compensate for your troubles and pay for your living expenses if need be (or give you the difference through a stipend that you could use to sight see!)  This makes moving and adjusting to your new home easy and comfortable.

Expanding Network Groups
When you travel, you're going to make an entirely new group of friends, colleagues, and patients that will become additional lifelong connections.  In addition to meeting new people, the internet/social media age has made it easier than ever to stay connected to your friends and family back home.

Skype, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter (along with so many others) are all applications and websites that keep you easily connected to those you couldn't bring with you.

Gaining Experience
Nursing experience can be hard to come by for those looking for new opportunities with under 3 years of acute care experience.  The difference we can offer is that our travel and per diem programs have been married to create a unique hybrid program that gives our newer nurses the access to the experience and training they need.
