Discover High-Paying Travel Nursing Opportunities Now

Travel nursing is a flexible and rewarding career path that allows nurses to accept short-term assignments in different healthcare facilities across the country. Travel nursing assignments typically range from 8 to 13 weeks and help hospital maintain safe staffing levels when demand is high or they are experiencing staffing shortages. 

At Advantis Medical, we have thousands of high-paying travel nursing opportunities nationwide. With each assignment, you can explore new cities, expand your clinical skills, and make a difference where you're needed most. 

To get started with travel nursing, you'll first need to get your Registered Nurse license. This involves completing an accredited nursing program—either an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and passing the NCLEX-RN exam.

Once licensed, most travel nursing agencies require nurses to have at least 1–2 years of recent bedside experience in the specialty you want to travel in. This helps make sure you're prepared to step into new healthcare settings with confidence.

When you work with Advantis Medical, the #1 rated travel nurse agency, a recruiter will help match your preferences and experience with current travel nursing opportunities. We assist with onboarding, credentialing, housing, licensing, and everything in between, so you can focus on your assignment and your goals.

The fastest way to discover high-paying travel nursing opportunities is through the Advantis Medical job board. You'll get access to exclusive opportunities and real-time openings that update every 30 minutes across hundreds of hospitals and facilities across the country.

Plus, you'll be connected to one of our dedicated recruiters who matches your preferences with ideal assignments, handles communication, and supports your placement from start to finish. It’s a seamless and personalized experience that helps take away the stress that comes from job hunting.

Most travel nursing contracts last 13 weeks, but assignment lengths can vary. Some are as short as 8 weeks, while others extend up to 20–26 weeks. Many facilities also offer contract extensions for up to a year if the match is going well.

Whether you’re looking for a 13 week short-term adventure or extending your assignment for a more long-term opportunity, travel nursing gives you the freedom to explore your options, try new settings, and enjoy a change of scenery every few months.

Travel nurses are typically paid more than staff nurses, thanks to the temporary and high-demand nature of their work. The average travel RN salary in recent years has hovered around $108,000 annually, compared to approximately $75,000 for staff nurses.

Travel nurses are paid weekly, many travel nursing jobs pay between $2,000 and $3,200 per week depending on specialty, location, and shift. These rates often include tax-free stipends for housing, meals, and travel, which can boost take-home pay.

We also assist with coordinating travel arrangements and can help you find housing that fits your lifestyle, whether you're traveling with pets, family, or just prefer something specific. The choice is always yours.

Absolutely. One of the best parts of travel nursing is being able to bring your partner, children, or pets with you. Advantis Medical helps coordinate family-friendly or pet-friendly housing.

Want to travel with a friend? Even better. You can earn $500 for every nurse you refer who completes a 13 week contract with Advantis Medical. There’s no limit—more friends, more earnings. 

Licensing depends on whether the state is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). If your primary state of residence is a compact state, you can practice in 40+ other compact states with one multistate license.

If your assignment is in a non-compact state—or you live in a non-compact state—you’ll need to apply for licensure by endorsement in that state. The process varies but is usually straightforward. Advantis Medical assists you with licensing logistics and may cover the cost, so you’re ready for any travel nursing opportunity.

Travel nursing is different from permanent roles in flexibility, pay, and experience. You choose when and where to work, take breaks between contracts, and often earn significantly more than staff nurses. Each assignment gives you exposure to new clinical settings, systems, and teams, helping you build a broader skillset and resume.

You’ll also have a recruiter and agency team supporting you instead of a traditional nurse manager. At Advantis Medical, we’re here to simplify the process and make every contract successful. For nurses who value growth, adventure, and freedom, travel nursing is a powerful and fulfilling career path.
