Learn About Getting a Career as a Travel Nurse – Is It Right for You?
Travel nurses work for independent dispatch companies that recruit nurses to fill their positions in the United States and abroad. The ongoing shortage of nurses makes it difficult for hospitals and clinics to meet staffing needs.
While traveling nurses can help with staffing issues, they can also fill temporary gaps when nurses are on vacation or hired by another hospital or medical facility. Travel nurses do not necessarily have to work across states — some work in understaffed local hospitals.
