Travel

Nurse

Typically, travel nursing assignments require a commitment of 13 weeks or more. Most nurse temporary staffing agencies are not equipped to handle shorter placements or placements that require a rapid response to an urgent and crucial need for patient care. Fastaff pioneered the concept of Rapid Response℠ travel nurse staffing to the healthcare industry in 1989. Since then, we’ve been providing travel nurses to hundreds of hospitals, sometimes on very short notice, for placements that may last as little as four weeks or as long as a year or more. This means more jobs and options for our nurses, and superior service for the varied needs of our hospital clients.

You need at least two years’ experience in your specialty, at least one year of recent acute-care experience (based on your specialty), and a current RN license. In addition, you’ll need to provide written references, documentation of certifications, etc. You can  view the list of requirements  or go to the  Fastaff application.

Travel nurses typically earn far more than staff nurses, and our pay rates are among the highest in the travel-nurse industry. Average pay for a Fastaff nurse working 36 weeks is $101,288! On-assignment nurses receive their paychecks weekly.
