Travel Nurse – Correctional – Virginia – $8,600 per Month (2 Years Experience Required)

We are seeking a Travel Registered Nurse (RN) – Correctional for contract assignments across Virginia and other U. S. states. Travel nursing contracts allow nurses to take temporary assignments in different facilities while receiving competitive pay, housing stipends, and travel benefits.

Must have 2+ years of RN experience. This contract pays approximately $8,600/month gross depending on location and facility needs.

How Travel Nursing Contracts Work Across States

Travel nurse contracts are typically 13-week assignments at hospitals, correctional facilities, or healthcare centers that need temporary staffing. Nurses may take contracts within their home state or travel to other states depending on licensure.

Key points about multi-state contracts

Compact Licensure (NLC):* Many states participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing nurses with a compact license to work in multiple states without obtaining additional licenses. Non-Compact States:* Some states require a separate state nursing license before starting an assignment. Assignment Flexibility:* Nurses can accept contracts nationwide or choose assignments only within specific states. Extensions:* Many contracts offer the option to extend another 13 weeks if both the nurse and facility agree. Housing & Travel Stipends:* When working away from home, nurses often receive tax-advantaged stipends for housing and travel.
