Why should I travel with National Healthcare Staffing?
We believe our travel nurses deserve star treatment. When traveling with us, you’ll experience the difference our 5-Star Promise makes. Your dedicated recruiter and lifestyle advocate is here to assist you with anything you need, from helping with paperwork, licensing, housing, transportation, and benefits, to supporting you before, during and between assignments. Plus, our relationships with respected healthcare organizations around the country mean we have access to more jobs and sought-after assignments than anyone – and you hear about them first. We provide higher quality opportunities that fit your unique criteria in terms of salary, assignment length and location.
What can I expect in terms of salary?
In most cases, you can look forward to earning more money in less time. Our travel nurses typically earn what they would make annually in a permanent job after nine months of travel assignments. But if flexibility means more to you, take time off when you want to and earn more of a conventional salary. As part of our Five-Star Promise, we offer highly competitive compensation packages to our travel nurses.
What about benefits? Will I be covered no matter where or how often I travel?

Can I travel with my family and/or pets?
Absolutely! We want you to feel at home. Bring family members with you anytime. If your family member happens to be a pet, just be sure to let your recruiter know what type of pet you have and its weight. We’ll research housing options to accommodate your needs and help you with other arrangements.
