Travel Nurses More in Demand than Ever |
| |
Many of 50 States Staffing’s clients ask us which nursing specialties are in top demand today. Here’s a report from 50 States' Recruitment Manager:
First, it's clear that every area of nursing practice is needed in today’s travel nursing job market. There are highly desirable positions out there for everyone.
That said, at the RN level we are seeing a particular demand for critical care nurses. Also, ER, OR and ICU nurses are highly sought-after.
Neonatal nursing and labor and delivery specialists are also in acute demand.
| "We are hiring travel nurses in every specialty." |
We have found that requests are climbing for nurses with advanced practice RN's, nurse practitioners and clinical nursing specialists.
|
As with most professions, the number of job offers you receive and the compensation you earn (regardless of your specialty) depends on a number of factors:
• Your education, training and certification
• Your real life experience
• Your performance on the job
• Supply and demand for nurses in your city or town
• Your (or your agency’s) ability to find the position and salary you want
Travel nursing with 50 States Staffing is a great way to take advantage of regional shifts in demand. There might not be a huge call for a particular specialty in your area, but the need may exist
somewhere else. Tell us what you’re looking for and well do our very best to find it for you. |

How to Save Even More Money Travel Nursing |
Travel nursing has lots of built-in money saving perks. Free housing and free health insurance save travel nurses thousands of dollars, along with licensure and travel reimbursements and an assortment benefits that lighten the travel nurse budget. But can travel nurses save even more money? The answer is yes.
1. Eating right cost less. Prepare meals at home with fresh foods. Travel nurses eat healthier for $4 at home than for $12 to $15 dining out. Make going to the restaurant a special occasion and part of travel nurse adventure.
2. Use a lunch bag to bring snacks and whole foods to work. Ordering take-out costs a fortune—up to $30+ a week. Combat the junk food blues by filling your lunch bag with nutritious snacks that will keep your energy level high and your mind sharp.

3. Keep yourself healthy. Travel nurses are provided health insurance benefits, but the healthier you are, the less money you spend on co-pays and medications, which can amount to between $10 and $25 a visit.
4. Buy generic. Because of intense competition, larger retail chains have developed less expensive products with the exact same ingredients as their brand name counterparts. By switching to store brands, travel nurses can knock at least $25 a week off the grocery bill!
5. Conserve gasoline. Unfortunately, we can’t expect gas prices to plummet anytime soon. Consolidate trips by making lists and planning your route. Try public transportation, walking or biking. And don't forget to change your oil and air filter every 3,000 miles and to keep your tires properly inflated.
