As a travel nurse, you have the flexibility to choose which state you’d like to work in — but you can also choose between different facilities as well. Below are the places at which RNnetwork staffs travel nurses:
Acute-care hospitals. These hospitals, which provide short-term care to patients of all ages, can be categorized by bed size, medical staff size and organizational status (for-profit, nonprofit or private). We place nurses in hospitals of all sizes, including larger hospitals with broader scopes of services, such as trauma or stroke centers. Note: Hospitals are also categorized by levels of care (primary, secondary and tertiary) and marked with numbers 1-3 to designate the services they provide to patients. Nurses who’d like to take travel assignments at higher-level hospitals may need additional certification or years of experience.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNF). Nursing homes, long-term care facilities and rehabilitation centers are known as skilled nursing facilities. Nurses who work at these facilities care for the chronically ill and those who need services such as physical therapy following an accident or surgery. Geriatric nurses are particularly in demand at skilled nursing facilities, and both BLS (basic life support) and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) certifications are generally required.
Home health and hospice companies. Nurses who take assignments at home health or hospice organizations make home visits, seeing five to six patients daily in their homes to administer medication, change bandages following surgery or care for tracheostomies or vents, among other needs. Home health travel nurses must have reliable transportation and may need ACLS certification as well.
Your RNnetwork recruiter will help you find the right position — and the facility with the right fit — for you. With so many options available, you’re sure to get a job that best fits your skillset and experience.
