Who Can Be a Traveler in the U.S.?


You can travel if you are a qualified health-care worker licensed and certified in your specialty. The four specialties below are the ones I am most familiar with, but there are several other specialties. We hope to expand our Travel Nurse Information in the near future.


Registered Nurse


Physiotherapist

Pharmacist

NOTE:Since 9-11 everyone is required to have proper documentation to enter and live in the US as a resident. All health-care workers and their families require passports. You must apply for an SSN (social security number), as you will be considered a resident of the U.S. while legally working and paying taxes.


When is the best time to travel?


One of the best perks of being a traveler is that you can work when you choose. Most assignments last 13 weeks and you can either move on or renew the contact. Your choice becomes where and what time of year to travel.


John and I traded roles six months a year. He did the cooking and cleaning, shopping, etc. while I worked. We would start a contract in the fall in Hawaii and stay until the spring. We returned to Canada (no snow) in the spring and John would work.


One year we expanded our cottage ourselves instead of hiring a contractor. This would have been difficult to do if we were tied to full time jobs.


How do I get started?


The very first thing to do is to take a few days and put together a resume. If you already have a resume,you need to take some time to reflect on where you have been before you decide where you are going. Here you can find help writing a Nurse Resume.


Most agencies have an application that can be filled out online. If you are prepared with a good resume you will have all the information you need at your fingertips. Also, if you decide to apply for a full-time position,your resume can be easily updated. Contact us to request a free word Nurse Resume template.
