What Is Travel Nursing?

A travel nurse is a registered nurse who uses their skills and experience to assist various facilities or hospitals in their daily nursing schedules. Travel nurses hold temporary or contract roles to bridge staffing gaps for these facilities. 

As a travel nurse, you will receive placements and payments from your chosen agency- the best agencies (like Advantage Medical Professionals) also offer insurance and healthcare coverage. Travel nurse job openings are available around the United States, so you can apply for jobs in whichever locations you want to visit. Enjoy the flexibility to explore for several weeks or scout an area to potentially move there long-term.  

Opting for a specialist agency like Advantage that has over 40 years of experience and outstanding facility connections is the best way to land your dream placement.
