It’s not a hidden fact that travel nursing sky-rocketed when the pandemic hit in 2020. The hospitals faced shortages never seen before, and healthcare facilities needed a solution with no end to the waves of Covid-19.
Travel nursing has been around since the late 1970s after New Orleans hospitals began seeing staffing shortages around Mardi Gras and hired temporary staff. Since then, travel nursing has become widely used nationwide for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities to employ temporary staff to fill the staffing gaps.
While there was a shortage of nurses before the 2020 pandemic, it escalated significantly after Covid-19 hit. Within the last couple of years, many travel nurses started earning significantly higher wages than staff nurses. According to Indeed.com , the average annual salary for a travel nurse is $109,187 in 2022, whereas the average salary for staff nurses is $77,600 per year, according to the Bureau of Statistics (BLS) .
Exact salaries vary depending on one’s modality, the location of the assignment, and the length of one’s contract. This also doesn’t factor in the number of assignments a traveler chooses to take within a year. For example, if one only takes two 13-week assignments, their annual income will most likely be lower than the average travel nurse.
The National Library of Medicine defines nursing burnout as “a widespread phenomenon characterized by a reduction in nurses’ energy that manifests in emotional exhaustion, lack of motivation, and feelings of frustration and may lead to reductions in work efficacy.”
A few years back, facilities and hospitals began seeing nurses leave their professions entirely due to fatigue, depletion, and overall burnout. Many factors play into healthcare workers becoming mentally exhausted with their jobs. The long hours, the pandemic, short staff, and the immense pressure to make life-altering decisions are just a few of the many things that weigh on healthcare workers’ shoulders.
Nurses are the backbone of a smooth and functional healthcare system, and their duties & skills are essential to ensure people are adequately cared for and receiving the treatment they need. The staffing shortage magnified the intense pressures that come with nurses’ duties.
With nurses leaving facilities left and right, hospitals turned to short-term travel nurses to provide temporary relief. Travel nurses typically come in for 13 weeks to help the regular hospital staff; sometimes, they can extend their assignment. With the high demand for healthcare staff, travel nurses’ pay packages were increasing to amounts never seen before.
This sudden shift in urgency & high pay left many healthcare workers transitioning into the traveling world. According to sources, reports indicate that in 2020, traveling RNs were offered nearly $8,000 a week. This put immense pressure on healthcare facilities to maintain their staff, and finding temporary staff was a safety net .
The younger generation of healthcare workers takes up the higher percentage of travel nurses. The reason why that is? This offer allows younger people who have yet to have kids or become married yet take advantage of traveling and seeing new places while making money they could make annually in just months. With so many places to choose from and a steady flow of income while furthering your career, it’s difficult for any healthcare worker to say no to this option.
For nurses who have just a couple of years under their belt, traveling allows them to grow professionally in their field rapidly. The reason behind this is simple: the multitude of facilities/hospitals they go to brings in new people to network with, advice, more patients, knowledge, experiences, and a new environment for them to learn in. This applies to nurses who have been in their field for years too! Traveling is a way to switch it up and offer a change from their regular pace. No two places are the same.
Travel nursing is something many healthcare workers have fallen in love with. They can learn from numerous facilities and meet people from all over. If the hospital or facility they’re at agrees, they even have the option to extend their assignment if they love it! On the flip side, if one doesn’t end up loving where they’re at… well, the good news is it’s only temporary.
Housing benefits are a huge perk to travel nursing too. As a travel nurse, you can either find a place to stay on your own (through a housing stipend) or get an offer with a place to stay through your agency. Here at Titan Medical , we typically leave that option up to what’s most comfortable for you!
Many places reach out to travel agencies to offer their hotel, Air BnB, or home for nurses. The continuous flow of housing and placements makes this process very simple for agencies to get their travelers to stay at safe, reliable, and top-rated places while on assignment!
Nurses turn to travel because of the flexibility it offers them. When talking with your recruiter, you can go through your wants and needs to find an assignment that is right for you. At Titan Medical , we ensure that you have a schedule that allows you to thrive while traveling with us. Don’t want a night shift? No worries, let’s get you a day shift! Want a shorter assignment that’s not a full 13 weeks? Then let’s find you one that’s the right length! Titan Medical is here to ensure you’re feeling your best when finding an assignment.
One of the best perks of travel nursing is choosing your next adventure. The fact that you can personally decide where you’d like to explore based on your lifestyle and interest makes this option hard to turn down. If you’re not a fan of the hustling big-city life, then you’re able to pick a rural and quieter place! If you want to go to the beach on your day off, choose an assignment in an area that allows you to be a beach bum. If you’re a fan of hiking, you can find a city near the mountains to hike in on your off days!
Travel nursing is likely here to stay for the long run. The new work-from-home culture has allowed people of all professions to explore brand-new areas while being able to work and make a living. While most healthcare professionals can’t work from home, travel nursing still allows them to travel for long periods at a time and make a comfortable living!
Healthcare workers love the flexibility, and high-paying jobs that travel nursing offers them. Many agencies, like Titan Medical, are flexible enough to allow pets and family members to travel along with you. This is a benefit that a lot of nurses appreciate, making it much more convenient for them to leave home for a little bit!
Are you ready to join the travel healthcare world and find your perfect assignment? Our recruiters at Titan Medical are dedicated to finding you a place you love & will thrive at! Give Titan Medical a call today at 866.332.9600, and we’d love to assist in seeking your next adventure!

A sign asks visitors to wear a mask in downtown Phoenix where new COVID-19 cases are down but health experts warn cases may rise with the introduction of the omicron strain on Dec. 18, 2021 in Phoenix, Ariz. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, since mid-December 2020 over 14,000 people have died of COVID-19 in Arizona. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has signed an executive order banning local governments from imposing the vaccine requirements. Arizona does not yet have a mask mandate and mask use is sporadic.

Two years ago, at age 52, nurse Amy Rosenberg had her first panic attack. She works full time on a COVID-19 unit but this day, she was sitting behind the wheel in a car wash and she felt trapped.
“That’s when I realized I now have claustrophobia,” she said. “Because of what I do to people. You get intubated, you get strapped, you get flipped. I realized that’s my biggest fear: That it could happen to me.”
Rosenberg has been a critical care nurse for 32 years, but for the last two years she has worked on a COVID-19 unit at a hospital near Dayton, Ohio. The toll of this work comes with many tentacles, and they claw into a front-line nurse’s life in ways most of us never think about. A car wash, for example, was not on my list of scary things. Nor was the commonplace pivot of a GPS advising a different route. But outside of work, a sudden change of plans is too much for her.
“The old Amy would have taken that route,” she said. “The new Amy? No, I’m not going there.”
Outside of work, she stays home as much as possible. “The vibration of the public has changed, on social media and at the grocery store, too. Hostility, arguing, people saying, ‘You’re standing too close to me.’ Everyone seems so incredibly unhappy and stressed. I’ve turned into a bit of a hermit on my days off. I don’t want to be around that."
She doesn’t expect us to understand. That’s what her colleagues are for.
“I tried therapy, but I spent most of my time explaining to this therapist what work is like. I wanted to talk to someone who already knows. I started reaching out to other nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians – the amazing people I work with – and that’s helped tremendously.”
The closer we get to Christmas, the higher the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, this time because of the omicron variant. Most of these patients are unvaccinated.
Like most front-line medical staff, Rosenberg remembers well when the pandemic started. Overnight, her assigned patch of the intensive care unit became the COVID-19 unit.
“I think of that time as the ‘cruise ship rumor story,’ ” she said. “A patient came in and I thought, ‘Uh-oh, he’s got that weird thing and he’s been on a cruise ship.’ There was a lot of fear, a lot of people standing outside rooms and not coming in.”
This was in the early days, before vaccines were available and masks and other protective gear were in short supply. On one of those days, she took turns sharing a surgical mask with another nurse. “I’m going to die of this,” she told her two grown children and other family members.
She also told them she was staying on the COVID-19 unit.
“I remember, at first, the scary part was realizing that our own lives were in jeopardy. It’s like you’re a soldier on the battlefield and you look around and see everybody running back to their holes and you’re still standing there with a spear in your hand. That was terrifying. But there was also this momentum for those of us who would stay.”
Today, most of Rosenberg’s patients are unvaccinated.
“They’re educated people. The patient comes in, the families come in, they’re very opinionated about being unvaccinated: ‘Oh, this is a conspiracy.’ ‘They don’t have COVID.’ You get so many questions: Why can’t you use iv
