Travel Nurse Benefits From Different Traveling Nurse Agencies
I have compiled some benefits for travel nurses jobs. These benefits will give new traveling nurses something to consider when deciding on which traveling nurse agency they will choose. Each travel nurse company may be different and therefore offer different benefits.
Traveling is a benefit of being a traveling nurse. You get to pick and choose where you would like to work. If you enjoy the beach, you might like to travel to California or Florida. If you enjoy the mountains more, then you may like to consider Montana as your choice. But you don’t have to limit your choice to the USA, you may be more adventurers for overseas travel.
Flexible - The average contract is for 13 weeks but you can pick in choose in this area as well. You may choose to ask for a contract from 4 to 52 weeks.
Bonuses - Each traveling nurse agency may have different bonuses. Sign up bonuses tend to range from $500 - $1500. But not limited to this amount for jobs completed.
Salary - Pay range from $25 - $35 per hour. A traveling nurse may receive time and a half to double time for overtime.
Housing allowance - The average amount is $800 but it can vary for different locations. If the traveling nurse has no family accompanying them, they may share a 2 bedroom under private housing that the traveling nurse agency can rent for you.
Travel Expenses - Depending on the travel nurse agency, part or all of the traveling nurses expenses will be reimbursed for traveling expense when relocating to another assignment.
Medical and Dental Benefits - Medical coverage offered by travel nurse agencies are minimal. Its best to check each agency for the best plans.
License Reimbursement - Some travel nurse companies repay part of the money it took for the traveling nurse to get their license in the state that they will be working in.
Education - Some travel nurse companies offer part reimbursement for per year for continued education. Some agencies offer continued education online and offline by a provider and its free.
Referral Bonus - Some travel nurse companies pay up to $1000 to traveling nurses for referring their friend to work for the travel nurse company.
Retirement Plan - Some traveling nurse agencies match funds for the 401k plan.
Assignment Manager - This is a very important subject to consider. You want a travel nurse company that has a team as a personal manger to assist in your experience, contracts to your specific skills, receiving your checks on time, making it to your next assignment on time and much more. A traveling nurse company that provides a good personal manger is important to a traveling nurse’s plans of achievements.
