What is a travel nurse, anyway? Simply put, a travel nurse is someone who acts as a nurse by giving necessary medical care to someone else who is traveling. Or, you could be the one who travels to visit people who cannot travel on their own.

What do I have to do to become a travel nurse? It sounds like fun! Well, to become a travel nurse, you need to earn an accredited degree from an American or Canadian nursing school. You must be able to prove that you have the legal right to work in the United States . You also must carry proof of a valid professional certification or medical license. What else? You typically have to practice as a "stationary" nurse for at least one year before a prospective employer will hire you. After that, there's a good chance that you'll land a job as a traveling nurse - and there aren't many LPN jobs or other jobs that are as fun!

How much can I make as a traveling nurse? Well, we can't give you exact figures since that will depend on your individual qualifications and the protocols of the business that hires you, but rest assured that your pay rates will be competitive and are likely to improve significantly with each year that you complete in your traveling nurse practice.
