A licensed nurse has a world of opportunities at his/her fingertips. From becoming a travel nurse to becoming an international travel nurse, the opportunities are numerous and the compensation highly rewarding. In fact, International travel nursing is one of the most sought after nursing jobs in America today. Adding to this excitement is the fact that the demand for nurses across the US and in other countries is on a rise and therefore, the world is an oyster for trained and healthcare professionals today.
Some of the best travel nursing opportunities are available in European countries, Australia, Middle East and South Africa. Whether you are a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse, you can easily become a travel nurse. All you need to do is register with a good international travel nursing agency so that they can match your skills and requirements with the long list of existing nursing placements they have.
International travel nurses may need to stay outside of America for 1 to 2 years and can even get an extension or permanent posting after the contract has ended. Most travel agencies provide accommodation and the standard is a single bedroom furnished home with various utilities like electricity, water, telephone, etc. Some travel agencies may allow a travel nurse to help choose their own accommodation. However, if you prefer to get your own accommodation, or travel in your RV in order to maximize your income, you can earn a high amount of housing stipend, which is higher than your actual salary!
When traveling abroad for a nursing assignment, the travel allowance is usually paid for by the agency and it may or may not cover your travel costs. Most travel nurses earn all the regular benefits that other employees earn like referral bonuses, 401K, various reimbursements, paid vacations, tuition fee etc.
International travel nursing assignment salary varies on factors like location, need of the employer, experience, specialty, and your ability to negotiate. However, you can earn between $30 to $40/hour easily as well as get added tax benefits too. You can make more money by working overtime as well.
