What is travel nursing?

Travel nursing is a nursing assignment concept in which nurses work temporary assignments at various hospitals throughout the year. For some nurses, traveling can be a permanent career choice, whereas others will take on these assignments on a temporary basis, sometimes months or years at a time. Nurses cite a number of reasons for becoming travelers, two of which include higher pay and the opportunity to see the world. In order to be considered a travel nurse, you generally must travel at least 50 miles to the facility from your tax home. 

At Nomad, we work specifically with Registered Nurses (RNs) of various specialties and departments, mostly in acute care settings, but also offer jobs at long term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation facilities across the United States.
