What is travel nursing?

The travel nursing industry began in the 1980s when a few agencies offered to place travel nurses at hospitals as a short-term solution to widespread healthcare staffing shortages. The demand was especially high in places such as California, Texas, Arizona and Florida where population changes with the seasons. Facility managers soon recognized that travel nurses solved year-round staffing frustrations, and today well-qualified travel nurses with experience in high-demand specialties can find travel nursing jobs across the United States throughout the year.

 A travel nursing career with NursesRx offers an exciting opportunity to journey across the country working 13-week assignments (or longer).
