What is a travel RN?

Travel RNs, or travel registered nurses, are licensed nurses who take temporary assignments at healthcare facilities across different locations, often to fill short-term staffing gaps. These assignments can last from a few weeks to several months and may require nurses to relocate temporarily. Travel RNs provide the same level of care as staff nurses, but benefit from flexible scheduling, higher pay rates, and opportunities to gain experience in diverse settings. They often work through staffing agencies that help match them with jobs and handle logistics like housing and licensure.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a travel RN?

To thrive as a Travel RN, you need a current RN license, strong clinical skills, and experience in various healthcare settings. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), travel nursing agencies' systems, and often certifications like BLS and ACLS are typically required. Flexibility, excellent communication, and the ability to quickly adapt to new teams and environments are crucial soft skills. These abilities ensure safe, high-quality patient care while efficiently integrating into diverse clinical settings.

What are some typical challenges travel RNs face when adapting to new healthcare facilities?

Travel RNs often encounter the challenge of quickly learning new protocols, electronic health record systems, and facility-specific procedures at each assignment. Adjusting to different team dynamics and patient populations can also require strong communication and adaptability skills. However, most facilities provide orientation and support, and experienced travel nurses develop strategies to integrate smoothly, such as asking proactive questions and building rapport with new colleagues. This adaptability not only enhances patient care but also helps RNs grow professionally.

What is the difference between Travel Rn vs Staff Nurse?

Work EnvironmentTemporary assignments at various healthcare facilities, often across locationsFull-time or part-time at a single healthcare facility
Employer & Industry UsageStaffing agencies, healthcare networks, hospitalsHospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities

Travel Rns typically work on short-term assignments at different locations, offering flexibility and travel opportunities. Staff Nurses usually work at a single facility with a consistent schedule. Both roles require RN licensure and similar certifications, but their work settings and employment structures differ significantly.

How much can a traveling registered nurse make?

Traveling registered nurses typically earn between $1,800 and $3,000 per week, depending on factors such as location, experience, specialty, and shift differentials. They often receive additional benefits like housing stipends, travel allowances, and health insurance, which can increase overall compensation.

Job description

TotalMed RN is seeking a travel nurse RN Intermediate Care for a travel nursing job in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Job Description & Requirements
  • Specialty: Intermediate Care
  • Discipline: RN
  • Duration: 13 weeks
  • 36 hours per week
  • Shift: 12 hours, nights
  • Employment Type: Travel

We're looking for Progressive Care Unit RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Wausau, WI. The right RN should have 1-2 years recent acute care experience. Read below for more requirements.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you will care for patients who require close monitoring and frequent assessment, but aren't unstable enough to need ICU care. Progressive Care Unit RNs will utilize computer equipment to monitor cardiac and other vital information, detecting any changes and thereby enabling intervention of life-threatening or emergency situations. Close observation is necessary as many PCU patients receive a significant amount of complex medications, sometimes through an intravenous line that may need to be adjusted or titrated. The PCU RN is sometimes also called a step-down nurse, and the PCU is also known as cardiac stepdown, medical stepdown, neuro stepdown, surgical stepdown and ER holding.
As a PCU Travel Nurse, you should be prepared to perform the following tasks:

  • Provide basic bedside care; stabilize critical cardiac patients.
  • Change dressings, insert catheters and start IVs.
  • Prepare, administer and record prescribed medication, reporting any adverse reactions to treatment.
  • Monitor and adjust specialized equipment used on patients, and interpret and record electronic displays.
  • Initiate corrective action whenever information from monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
PCU Travel Nurses should be able to stand and walk for long periods of time, as well as bend, lean and stoop without difficulty. RNs should be able to easily lift 20 pounds. Moving or lifting of patients may require lifting of up to 50 pounds at times. Because of the fast-paced environment, Progressive Care Unit RNs must possess good skills for coping with stress and be able to relate to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Requirements*: ACLS, BLS, 3 Years
* Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment.

TotalMed RN Job ID #1442822. Pay package is based on 12 hour shifts and 36.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. Posted job title: Progressive Care Unit - PCU RN - Travel Nurse
