Job Description of a Traveling Nurse - Part 1
By Amanda Taylor
So you’re looking through the classifieds in the newspaper, and you come across a job position that gets your attention: “Traveling Nurse.” You’ve heard of a traveling salesman, but a traveling nurse?
A traveling nurse is exactly what the name says: a nurse that travels to different cities and towns to work at various medical facilities. The job position of a traveling nurse has evolved because of the large shortage of nurses in the healthcare field, and it continues to become more popular as the shortage continues.
A traveling nurse can work as far away from home or as close to home as desired. Jobs are usually given to a traveling nurse one at a time. A traveling nurse has the opportunity to choose the jobs that he or she wants to take and refuse ones that are not desired.
Any type of nurse can work as a traveling nurse. This includes RNs, LPNs, specialty nurses, and nurse practitioners. The only requirement is a nursing degree and the correct certification for the states you want to work in.
The benefits offered to a traveling nurse are incredible. Traveling nurse wages are often higher, and sometimes sign on bonuses are offered. Nice housing is provided free of charge close to where you are working, which reduces expenses. Insurance coverage and 401K plans are other benefits that the job has to offer. Also, if you enjoy sightseeing and visiting new places, you can travel as much as you want and to as many cities are you want when you work as a traveling nurse.
Be sure to read Part #2 of a Traveling Nurse where we show you more benefits of becoming a traveling nurse. Also learn more about registered nurse salaries at http://www.registered-nurse-staffing.com/registered_nurse_wages.html
