What do you gain as a Traveler?
More Money
This is the number one reason Healthcare Professionals give for considering travel. Most of the people we speak to have worked alongside a traveler at the facility where they work, and that traveler has communicated details about their pay package. Traveling Healthcare professionals can make as much as double the amount that a staff professional will make as a direct employee of the hospital. The extra pay is for emergency staff relief and is associated with inconvenience and extra expenses like housing and meals and incidentals that the traveler needs being away from their home. Many travelers use the boost in income to help pay off student loans and ultimately improve overall financial stability.

Knowledge
Healthcare professionals gain the majority of their knowledge by working with others – this is a fact. The more colleagues that one works alongside during their career is a direct positive correlation to the overall knowledge that one has in relation to their specialty. This resume building aspect of Travel Healthcare is extremely important for future career growth and opportunities. Travelers who hang up their traveling shoes after a number of years working in various different hospitals find that the experience earned while on assignment is extremely valuable. Ultimately that enhanced resume opens doors that simply would not be available without the experience.
