Travel nursing offers flexibility in terms of assignment duration, scheduling, and location. Travel nurses can have more control over their work-life balance and enjoy the freedom to take breaks between assignments or take time off to pursue personal interests.
Travel nurses have the opportunity to work in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and specialty units. This allows them to gain exposure to diverse clinical settings and develop a well-rounded skill set.
Travel nursing can foster personal growth by helping nurses develop resilience, adaptability, and independence. It can also promote personal self-discovery and cultural awareness by immersing nurses in different communities and allowing them to learn from diverse patient populations.

As a first-time traveler, Aequor was very helpful in finding exactly what I wanted. My recruiter went above and beyond... She was so personal and checked in on me throughout the week.

Travel nursing is a profession in which registered nurses accept temporary assignments in various healthcare facilities across different locations. These short-term assignments (usually 13 weeks) allow nurses to explore different cities or regions while gaining diverse clinical experience. Travel nurses often enjoy higher pay rates, a weekly meal and housing stipend, and travel reimbursements as part of their compensation packages.
You can apply for a “compact license” that is honored in 40 states and jurisdictions under the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Your permanent residence must be in a compact state, otherwise you’ll need to apply for a license in the state where you wish to work. For more information about state licensing and certification requirements, visit our Licensing Map that includes links and details by discipline.
