Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Travel Nursing

Travel nursing is a type of nursing in which healthcare professionals, typically registered nurses (RNs), work temporary assignments in healthcare facilities around the country. These assignments can range from a few weeks to several months and typically involve working in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare settings.

Travel nurses typically work in areas where there is a shortage of nurses, such as rural areas or in facilities that are experiencing a temporary increase in patient demand. They are often employed by travel nursing agencies, which handle the logistics of finding and arranging assignments, housing, and other necessary arrangements.

Travel nurses are typically responsible for the same duties as permanent staff nurses, including administering medication, monitoring patient conditions, and providing education and support to patients and their families. However, they may also be responsible for adapting to new environments and working with unfamiliar equipment and procedures.

Travel nursing can be an attractive option for nurses who enjoy the variety and challenge of working in different settings, and who want to gain experience in different types of healthcare facilities. It can also be a way for nurses to earn higher pay than in a permanent position and to experience different parts of the country.
