Travel nursing assignments allow for travel across the country, from sunny California to the slippery slopes of Colorado. But before accepting your first assignment, it helps to have a few tips.
Visit the area if possible. When offered an assignment, visit the medical facility and the neighborhood before accepting the offer. While this might not be practical if the assignment is across the country, checking out a neighboring state assignment is well worth the time. This will allow you to determine if the geographic location is a good fit for you.
If you’re accepting your first travel nurse job, try out a shorter contract. For new nurses, a contract up to 6 months can be a good place to start. This will allow you to determine if this career is the right fit for your lifestyle.
Don’t forget to ask about additional benefits. Travel nursing positions offer a variety of benefits: relocation assistance, 401k plans, housing stipends and medical benefits. Before accepting a job, partner with recruiters to ensure you’ve secured the maximum compensation possible.
