A travel clinician is a healthcare professional, such as a nurse, therapist, or physician, who takes temporary assignments in various locations, often to fill staffing shortages.
Most travel assignments typically last 13 weeks, though some may be shorter or longer depending on the facility’s needs.
Yes, you can specify preferred locations, though availability will depend on demand and your specialty. Flexibility can increase your chances of getting assignments.
You need to be licensed in the state where you plan to work. Some states participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows nurses to work in multiple states with one license. Other professionals may need to obtain state-specific licenses.
Pay rates vary by specialty, location, and demand, but travel clinicians often earn more than their permanently employed counterparts due to the temporary nature of their work and the need for flexibility.
