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/LVNs as well as an assortment of allied health professionals.
Most nurses enjoy travel nursing for 3 reasons:
* Visiting many different locations
* Free benefits
* Higher salary with bonuses
Applying with one of over 340 U.S. travel nurse companies only occurs once although many travelers float among multiple companies. Nurses do not need to fill out all of their information for each position within one company. This enables nurses to apply for many positions concurrently. In addition, travel nurses can continue to live at their current residence while being provided a taxed subsidy for their mortgage/rent if they do not want to move, although many hospitals do not allow permanent residents within a certain radius to work as a Traveler.
