Would travel nursing work as a part time/PRN position?

I have my reg f/t job that I love but I also want to earn some extra money. I also do not want to travel out of state. I see that their are several RN travel positions w/in a reasonable driving distance for me and it would be worth it for me if I could just do it as I need to. It would be more like 1 day a week for me.

Also the facility I work at now is affiliated w/ the larger hospital in the neighboring area that is looking for travel nurses. I was wondering if that would be allowed because working at the NH affiliated w/ our hosp we can't get more than our 40hrs/wk or it's considered OT. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Usually hospitals will not let you work for them as a traveler in affiliated hospitals.

Why dont you try a per diem staffing agency? You get to choose where you want to go (depends on staffing needs tho) and you only work when you want to.

If by traveler you would be expecting to work per diem and still receive travel money and housing costs, etc., I doubt it. Most facilities that only need someone one or two shifts per pay period will utilize agency or direct hire per diem/casual employees. Why not contract the hospitals directly and inquire about this or call some local agencies to see what they offer.
