It's where qualified nurses travel around the country (and world) to work at new medical institutions. A central organisation (like a recruitment agency) coordinates the effort and organises accommodation and contacts for those in travel nurse employment.
Why take a travel nurse job?
Why not? People all over the world do it - and as long as you take your travel nurse job through a reputable company, then you have little to worry about.
It's just the same as taking a temp job - the only difference is that the job is in another city, state or even country! Obviously it's a big step to move somewhere else (especially on a temporary basis), but people go to work abroad all the time these days! And with fewer guarantees than travel nurses have!
How do you get a travel nurse job?
Simple. Speak to a travel nurse employment agency and register your details. From there, they will be able to help you out with the specifics of your assignment (like relocation or registering with local authorities).
When you apply, the travel nurse employment agency will have their recruiter call you to discuss destination options and possible start dates, etc. They also arrange a contact with your destination hospital so they can interview you and you can find more about the assignment before you accept it!
What about the cost of travelling? And salary?
Most travel nurse employment agencies offer a set rate (or can give you an approximate rate) and can help out with travel expenses, as well as providing accommodation (staff housing).
How long are travel nurse job assignments?
Depends on the contract, the destination hospital and the travel nurse employment agency, but usually between 13 weeks and a year!
