5 things to Look for in a Travel Nurse Jobsite
There are many travel nursing opportunities out there -- and an almost equal amount of jobsites and online listings where they can be found. But not all jobsites are created equal! Before you trust one with your career, make sure it offers the following:
#1: Full transparency into every detail — especially pay
Your first step should be to make sure that the jobsite you use tells you everything you need to know about each assignment. That includes full details into assignment length (usually 14 weeks), location (down to the name and address of the facility), and pay (including how much you'll get for housing and travel).
For instance, check out the new HealthTrust jobsite to see an example of full transparency into everything you want to know about your next job, from where you’ll work to qualifications you’ll need to the skills that may give you a competitive edge.
And that means you won't don’t waste time applying for assignments that turn out to be a little less than what you’d expected.
#2: Listings for every specialty
Since the pandemic, travel nurses are more in demand than ever before. And, while that’s true for more specialties than others — for instance, ICU, OR, L&D and med/surg nurses — make no mistake: if you're willing to travel, you can find opportunities in virtually any specialty. So, one of the easiest ways to discover whether a jobsite is going to work for you is searching for your specialty.
#3: Access to every corner of the United States
Just as a quick look at any jobsite will let you know the full range of specialties it offers, you should also be looking for where those opportunities are. Having the best travel nursing opportunities means offering jobs all across the country, and not just in a few hotspots.
And remember, not all the best jobs are in the obvious locations! While there are always plenty of travel nursing opportunities in places like California, Texas, and Florida, you may actually find higher-paying assignments in places you wouldn't expect, like Alaska, Idaho, or Tennessee.
#4: A job search function that's fast and easy to use
When it comes to nursing jobsites, functionality is an absolute must. That's why we designed the new HealthTrust jobsite to let you find exactly what you're looking for in just a few clicks. It's also easy to sort jobs by pay, location, or job type (for instance, travel, local or per diem). Read more about why functionality is so important to your job search here.
