What it’s really like
- Orientation is days, not weeks; travelers get the census nobody else wants first.
- The paycheck math is its own skill: taxable base vs stipends changes everything after taxes.
- Contracts get cancelled and rates move with the market — flexibility is the job description.
- Friendships reset every 13 weeks. Some people find that freeing; know which you are.
Travel nurses take 8–26 week contracts where demand spikes, usually with weekly pay packages and housing stipends. A compact license and 1–2 years of recent acute experience open most doors.
How you get in
One to two years of recent acute experience in a core specialty (ICU, ED, tele, med surg, L&D) plus a compact license opens most doors; agencies handle the rest.
Weekly package rates track demand spikes in real time — the same specialty can pay very differently two states apart in the same week.
