Become a Travel Nurse
Travel nurses fill vacant roles in hospitals, clinics and other facilities on a temporary basis. They may work in different metropolitan areas, states or regions anywhere in the country with the proper credentials.
Generally, travel nurse practitioner jobs pay more than permanent NP positions because employers need experienced healthcare professionals to fill vacancies when faced with various staffing issues. Vivian’s average travel nurse practitioner salary was $2,707 per week in mid-October 2022, roughly 26% more than the average pay for permanent positions based on a 40-hour work week.
Besides a sizable pay increase, travel nurses enjoy more freedom and flexibility and experience new places while providing much-needed patient care. The temporary nature of travel nursing jobs also means less worry about workplace politics and stress.
