• High-paying travel nurse jobs - Traveling clinicians typically enjoy generous salaries, including a guaranteed minimum number of hours for every assignment, overtime pay, sign-on and referral bonuses and daily allowances for meals and incidentals. 
• 401(k) retirement plan - It's never too early to start planning for your retirement. You are eligible to enroll in our 401(k) as soon as you start an assignment! Our 401(k) plan offers a variety of well-known stock, bond and money market funds. Ask a recruiter for details!
• Housing placement or stipend - A common concern for anyone considering a move, especially temporarily, is where they will live. Free housing for travel nurses is a common benefit offered by reputable staffing agencies. Your recruiter will ensure that the accommodations are up to par with your expectations. For those clinicians who decide to arrange housing on their own, a monthly housing stipend will typically be subsidized by the staffing agency.  
• Tuition assistance - If a nurse is planning on going back to school to further your professional nursing career, then tuition assistance will be an important consideration when selecting the best travel nursing agency. Whether it's through free continuing education courses or a travel nursing scholarship, tuition discounts may be available through a travel nursing agency. It is crucial that travel nurses choose an agency that invests back in their clinicians. Especially nurses who are looking to leverage their travel opportunity for resume building and career advancement.

Housing options differ by agency so it is best to weigh your options and confirm details with a recruiter.
