Traveling NursesTravel nursing is a not actually a nursing specialty. Rather, it is a unique and exciting way to practice nursing and see the world (or at least the country) at the same time. Travel nursing has been in existence for some time, but the nursing shortage has increased possibilities so that nurses can choose from many locations and lengths of commitment. This is especially true if the nurse has experience and certifications in particularly high demand specialty areas Commitments in travel nursing usually range from 8 weeks or as long as 26 weeks and offer fairly generous salaries, with the agency coordinating the assignments often providing health benefits. Some facilities provide perks such as free housing and completion bonuses to nurses under contract.
