How long are travel nursing assignments?

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Most of the time an assignment is for 13 weeks, or 3 months. This is far and away the most common. Once in awhile a facility will have a short term need and put up a travel nursing job for 4 weeks and sometimes other terms but almost all of what you will see advertised are for 13 weeks.

Once that 13 weeks is up, though, if everyone is happy you may well get offered an extension. If they really want you the travel nursing agency you are working will likely offer you a bonus to “re-up.”

Always ask.

Nursing Academy in Hawaii

There is a new nursing academy in Hawaii which is sort of joint venture between the University of Hawaii and the Veterans Administration. This doesn’t have a lot to do with travel nursing at the moment but may be of interest to some of you LPNs who want to become RNs so you can get a travel nursing job. You can read more about it here.
