Demand is high for travel nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professional across Florida. And that means lots of jobs, and chances to build a better resume, including at some of the country’s leading healthcare facilities.
But that's only just the beginning! When you add up everything it has to offer — from five-star seafood and world-class theme parks to warm weather and miles and miles of beautiful beaches — it's clear that Florida is the ideal spot to fuel your wanderlust and ignite your ambitions in 2025.
Why is Florida such a great spot for nurses? As the state with the third-largest number of RNs in the U.S., it simply has more jobs than most other places. Even better, Florida is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). So, if you have a compact license you may be able to work there without the need for any additional licensing.
Allied clinicians are just as in-demand as travel nurses in Florida. Of all 50 states, Florida is the third-biggest employer of RTs, PTs, radiology techs, and clinical lab techs. It’s also the fourth-largest state for OTs and the fifth-largest for SLPs.
Florida is also a member of the Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) and Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), which lets SLPs and mental health professionals work without getting a new license. Learn how to get licensed for other allied travel jobs here.
