With everything going on right now, more and more nurses are considering going into travel nursing to help in the areas that need it most, like New York. Nurses can expect to see much higher than average pay packages right now. But, there are still a number of factors you need to consider when it comes to your salary. Here's what you need to know to navigate pay as a travel nurse. Or, if you're ready - you can get started now by visiting our trusted partner, travelnursing.org.
Travel nurses are registered nurses who work in short-term roles at hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities around the world. Travel nurses help fill gaps in areas where there are nursing shortages.
They are employed by an independent nursing staffing agency instead of a single hospital. This means they can travel as far as a different country, or they can work at local hospitals that are in need of temporary nurses.
Many nurses opt to go into travel nursing for the many perks, like the chance to explore new places, experience diverse practice environments, and make new friends. Competitive pay, great benefits, and free housing are also major benefits of the job.
Travel nurse pay is typically not influenced by experience level or education. In fact, a traveling registered nurse with 2 years of experience has the potential to earn the same amount as a traveling registered nurse with 15 years of experience. Which makes it an EXCELLENT opportunity for newer nurses who want to make more money and help pay off some of the cost of their nursing education.
Travel nurses do need a few requirements before being considered, including being a registered nurse with a license in good standing, and typically 2 years of nursing experience. They don't need any additional certifications or credentials other than the ones they need for their specific specialty.
Requirements during the COVID pandemic
However, right now hospitals and healthcare staffing agencies are going to great lengths to make it as easy as possible to recruit nurses to in-need areas during COVID-19, including waiving state nurse licensure requirements in states that have declared a state of emergency, asking retired RNs to come back to work, and more .
If you meet those requirements, the first step is to get connected with a travel nurse recruiter.
Because travel nurses work in their primary specialty, duties will vary a great deal between specialties. General nurse responsibilities include:
Under normal circumstances, many travel nurses have the potential to earn over $3,000 per week. Travel nurses can bring in over $50 per hour, plus company-paid housing accommodations. Making it entirely possible for travel nurses to make well over $100K per year.
But right now with COVID-19, in-demand places like New York City are offering nurses major incentives to come help. There are pay packages of over $10,000 per week or $100,000 for a 13-week assignment. But, nurses need to be prepared to enter a war zone.
In this video, Nurse Alice interviews two travel nurses who have worked the lucrative COVID crisis contracts that are paying nurses over $10,000 per week. The nurses get to the knitting gritty about the logistics of the contract and more importantly - is it worth it? If you think it's worth it, you can get started now.

Travel nurses receive both taxable hourly rates and non-taxed stipends. Non-taxed stipends are used for expenses such as housing, meals, and other incidentals. In addition to non-taxed stipends travel nurses also receive hourly pay.
In addition to crisis situations like we're facing right now, there are a number of other factors that can influence how much you can expect to make as a travel nurse. These include:
While the factors listed above do influence travel nurse pay, the following types of assignments almost always pay exceptionally well. Often times, these types of assignments are not influenced by location, specialty or shift.
Everything else aside, if you’re looking to make the most money as a travel nurse, seek out these specific assignments:
These assignments boast some of the highest rates in the travel nursing industry due to their urgent requirements. As the name suggests, these assignments require nurses to arrive at work fast -- usually within 2 weeks. Nurses working in these assignments may have limited options in terms of location. They are also typically shorter than the general 13-week assignment - if you're ready to go, you can get started right away in areas that need you the most.
Generally, the hospital is not experiencing a crisis situation such as a natural or man-made disaster. However, in some cases they are. For example, one agency was able to send nurses within 48 hours to provide support to hospitals treating patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
More often, though, facilities in need of rapid response solutions include those managing unexpected census spikes, unit openings, emergency responses, EMR upgrades, and more. However, some facilities may leverage flexible-length assignment options to manage patient care during short-term staff shortages.
This type of assignment may be appealing to hospitals because they do not require the 13-week commitment that many other travel companies require. This means that agencies offering these types of assignments have the ability to offer travelers a larger selection of shorter and higher-paying assignments. A great option especially if you’re looking for a position to better fit your lifestyle.
So, what is the catch? As mentioned, rapid response assignments require a quick turn around. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial for nurses to have their paperwork in order if they want to reap the benefits of top pay. Credentials, tests, licenses, and other documents should be submitted to the agency as quickly as possible.
We reached out to travel nursing agencies for more information about their rapid-response assignments. They said that most agencies will occasionally help nurses acquire licenses and certifications, including paying for new state licenses for nurses who complete an assignment with the company there.
Agencies also offer the option to cover housing costs if the nurse stays in one of their preferred hotels. Alternatively, many travel nursing agencies provide a housing stipend calculated to cover the cost of a nurse acquiring his or her own housing during the assignment. Lastly, they also cover the travel costs nurses incur at the start and end of an assignment.
Assignments range from 36 to 48 hours per week but are certainly more lucrative for the nurse working 48, particularly given overtime pay rates.
You’ll likely run into assignments advertising “bonuses,” it’s important to know the difference between these bonuses so you can use them to your advantage.
How do you know the difference between hospital and agency bonuses? For starters, you can ask your recruiter where the bonus comes from -- hospital or agency?
Some agencies will pay nurses bonuses once they end up working with that agency for multiple assignments. This is commonly referred to as a retention bonus and each agency will have its own requirements. These bonuses usually range from $100-$2,000 , or more.
A referral bonus is a fee the agency pays to travel nurses who refer other nurses to work for their agency. The funds often come out of a separate budget allocated to referral fees and should not affect the travel nurse’s pay package.
Referral bonuses typically range from $500-$4,000 per nurse referral. Some of the best agencies in the industry pay nurses lucrative referrals bonuses once their referral completes an assignment.
Strikes occur when a labor contract or bargaining agreement between a hospital and a union is up for renewal. When the two sides aren’t able to come up with an acceptable compromise, the union may strike.
In such a case, patients still need care. Therefore, hospitals will usually hire travel nurses to fill the temporary need. Due to the urgency, travel nurses who work strikes make much more money than they do when working on typical travel nurse assignments.
First of all, you can always ask recruiters directly about their highest paying assignments. Let them know that money is a motivator and that you are not interested in assignments that pay less than a certain amount. The best travel nurse recruiters will be honest with you about pay while giving you their best pay packages from the beginning.
We suggest working with agencies that are known to pay high rates and who specialize in rapid-response and strike nursing. Hospitals pay these agencies higher rates to urgently provide highly specialized staff on a short-term basis. Those high rates are passed along to their travel nurses.

Проблема такая- хороший знакомый обратился с вопросом как бы ему переместиться в USA работать RN-ом. Сам он врач, но также имеет и среднее медобразование. Я в этом полный профан, понятное дело полезла в интернет, разведывать с чего вообще такие процессы люди начинают. Ну и сразу вылезла контора рекрутеров, которая предлагает работу travel nurse с бесплатным спонсорством гринкарты. Обьясните пожалуйста что это такое, если кто знает.
Ну и вообще - куда крестьянину податься - в смысле с чего начать. Мужчина в mid-30-s, холостой.
Буду страшно благодарна за любые советы.
Спасибо всем заранее.
Работа это не плохая, нужно ездить по домама и обслуживат; пациентов на дому. У нас в Бостоне при наличие асошиэйт дигри платят примерно $30 в час (если бакалар, то больше).
Нащет его медсестринского образования скжу сразу, если он по образованию фельдшер, то ничего не получится. Должен быть диплом меучилища где сказано что профессия мебсестра. Тогда можно эвалюировать этот диплом делать запрос в нерсинг борд штата где он будет сдавать экзамен. Если они его допустят (то есть не скажут что нужно добирать предметы), то может сдавать.
Может быть существует несколько вариантов travel nurse, но моя сестра-ин-ло travel nurse. Так вот она просто работает по контракту. То есть, выбирает штат (примерно), куда бы хотела поехать и агенство ищет ей варианты. Если вариант подходит - едет туда на 3 месяца (или 6, как решишь), контракт можно продлить, но не всегда. Тогда едешь в другое место. Плюсы с моей стороны: если не домосед - новые люди, лица, штаты, условия работы. Оплата неплохая (впрочем, опять же, смотря какой контракт). Минусы: обычно travel nurse ставят на месте работы в самые неудобные условия (не лучшие смены, больные и пр.). Но опять же не всегда. Потом необходимо иметь лайсенз в том штате, куда едешь (нервы, бумажки, деньги). Если будешь ездить только по тем штатам, где уже есть лайсенз, все равно много бумажной работы. Подытожить могу: если есть страсть к перемене мест - работа просто замечательная.
Я где то слышала, что еще это те, кто на корабли и в экспедиции нанимается. У нас тут есть товарищ плавающий, кажется VladDog или похожий ник, можно у него спросить.

USMLE за пределами США сдать можно, я сдала так оба; но на 3й екзамен нужно приехать в Штаты; минус такого варианта: при поступлании в резидентуру нужно делать либо J-1 визу ( а она идет с 2хлетним Home Residency Requirement ), либо H1, для которой нужно сдать еще 4й экзамен (Step 3). В общем, на Nurse конечно проще, если диплом медсестринский, а не фельдшерский, как уже было сказано.
