Different Traveling Nursing Programs

Traveling nursing assignments provide a variety of financial benefits. Travel nursing assignments typically pay more than traditional staff nursing positions.

Flexible pay options allow you to decide what pay rate you will receive by selecting from options in benefits, bonuses, travel and housing. Some examples of how flexible pay options include:

Travel Reimbursement Options - Nurses can opt to have FASTAFF take care of their travel arrangements at no extra cost or provide their own transportation and receive full travel reimbursement at the end of their assignment, a weekly stipend or increased hourly pay rate.

Housing Options - Nurses can either stay in FASTAFF accommodations at no extra cost or provide their own housing to receive a weekly stipend or increased hourly pay rate.
Loyalty Bonus Options - Nurses can opt to participate in the traditional loyalty bonus program and earn loyalty bonuses every 8 weeks or flex their bonuses to receive a weekly stipend or increased hourly pay rate.
Benefits Enrollment Options - There are two levels of benefits, standard and premier, that begin Day 1. You choose your benefits or opt out for an increased hourly pay rate.
Rental Car /Local Transportation Options - Nurses can opt to receive a weekly pre-taxed stipend to be used for a rental car or other local transportation.

In addition to the money that you can make through traveling nursing, there are many benefits that you can take advantage of. Medical and dental insurance coverage are usually provided - sometimes these benefits start with day 1 of employment. Other benefits vary by travel nursing company and may include 401(k) with matching contributions, free housing and travel, rental car stipend, various types of insurance (such as life, disability, and professional liability), free continuing education courses and licensure reimbursement, among others. You can easily take advantage of all of the benefits offered by travel nursing companies.

Take advantage of all that being a travel nurse has to offer. You will find that there are many things that will help you to benefit financially, making the job a great one.
