Assignments usually last 13 weeks, after which the travel nurse may consider another job, take some time off between appointments, or potentially get a contract extension. Although hours and days vary depending on recruiting firms and employee contracts, travel nursing jobs generally include 40-hour workweeks, five 8-hour, four 10-hour, or three 12-hour shifts. Each contract cycle usually begins with a multi-day orientation session. When you're on duty, your job schedule is set up to allow you to visit your permanent residence daily. For example, if you're scheduled to work four 10-hour shifts, you'll have three days to glide back to your base or discover your new surroundings.

In Brief
Travel nursing is an enticing career choice for full-time and part-time nurses due to thenational nursing shortage. Even if a hospital or healthcare facility is fully staffed, seasonal
vacancies can occur as the local population changes or nurses take leave, such asmaternity leave. These hospitals fail to attract trained nurses to fill these usually short-
term duties often hire travel nurses. Travel nurses come in a variety of styles and forms.Few Registered Nurse Specialists (RNs) practice travel nursing for its excitement, whileothers prefer high pay. All travel nurses have in common is that when they opt to work as
a travel nurse, they are pursuing a lifestyle that allows them to have independence,versatility, and choice.
According to TravelNursing.org, travel nurses are usuallyregistered nurses with at least 12 months of hospital experience.
Since all of these occupations are in specialities that entailextensive preparation, such as ICU and oncology, additionalcertification qualifications are beneficial.
Nurses that have advanced capabilities are also in higher demandand have more career opportunities.

If you're dreaming of a job as a travel nurse, one of the firstthings you can remember is what you'll do in between contractsand how you'll do it.
Do you need or want to go home between assignments?
Do you want to fly in comfort from one place to the next, takingin the sights along the way?
Do you want/need to return to work the next day?

Ultimately, the call is yours to make. Everything you have to do now is scheduleand train.
Endure in mind that travel nurses do not typically get paid days off, so preparingahead for such downtimes are essential.
We usually do a combination of the two. We tend to schedule projects back-to-back at times, while at other times, we take a week or two off between contracts.
It all depends on what's working on in our lives at the present moment, when ournext assignment is, and how much money we must leave.
There is still an excess of assignments available.
So, going from one task to the next shouldn't be a challenge ifyou're a little versatile.
However, you must prepare ahead of time to make it happen.
Back-to-BackAssignments
Contd...
When your current contract has about 4-6 weeks left, tell your recruiter yourdesired start date range, and they can begin sending you potential jobopportunities
It is then taken into account the time it takes to pack (and rest if necessary), traveltime, and the time it takes to settle into your new home.
Taking vacations between tasks can be a lot of fun and a bigpart of the travel nursing adventure, but it can also beexpensive.
You're not only not making much money, but you're also wastinga lot of money on flights, hotels, meals, and other expenses.
However, there are moments where you need a rest, wish to seerelatives, or the trip is just too long to fit into a couple of days.
Each firm will keep you covered for a different amount of timebetween contracts, so inform yourself and stay on top of it.
Time Off InBetween
4-week assignments are preferred by RNs who want to makegood money, may start a job with little warning, and don't mindgetting insertion into the middle of stuff (such as filling in duringa strike or during an EMR conversion project).
They are frequently inspired by the amount of money they canearn in a brief period.
A travel nurse will make a lot of money in a few weeks due tohigh pay, overtime, benefits and benefits, and fixed hours.
