PMHNPs travel contracts?

NedRN · Jul 8, 2021

Generally, there are travel assignments for every possible healthcare profession (or skill to include all the unlicensed possibilities). The rarer your specialty, the few choices of assignments. On the plus side generally the rarer the specialty, the higher the pay.

While large traditional travel nurse companies like Cross Country and American Mobile will have spots, you may do better with specialty companies. These will also handle "travel" for physicians and other advanced practice professionals (to name one that no one may have heard of, physicists)! Instead of travel, Google locum tenens (usually just locum or locums interchangeably in spoken and written language: "She is a locum"). Both these companies and independent recruiters may market you rather than depending on posted assignments. You might start your journey with this link.

Expect very good pay, benefits (maybe), and great housing. Advanced practice earn very good profits for the companies and locums are very well treated. A lot of locums (and all physicians) have their own company to do contracts versus being an employee. Differing tax benefits, and could lend itself better to affordable and stable health insurance.

Yes, lots of opportunities for traveling PMHNPs. I know we've had a number at my work place and I get messages from recruiters for travel / locums agencies all the time via linked in. I don't know who is good who isn't though.

This is a great feed. I have questions about legally working abroad as a pmhnp, for US companies, while traveling to different countries etc...
