Travel Nurse Practitioner FAQs

Know your options!

What is a Travel Nurse Practitioner?

A Travel Nurse Practitioner (NP) has much of the same responsibilities as a permanent NP. However, Travel NPs are considered locum tenens providers, and work away from their permanent location to fill temporary, and often urgent staffing needs at facilities around the country for weeks, or months at a time.

Can a Permanent Nurse Practitioner become a Travel NP?

Absolutely, yes! We cover travel, housing, and handle your licensing, so at any time, current Permanent NPs could make the switch to locum tenens and begin working Travel NP assignments.

Do Travel NPs make more money than Permanent NPs?

Traditionally, yes. Wages tend to be higher as a Travel NP due to supply/demand and the ability to negotiate. For that reason alone, working as a Travel NP tends to be more lucrative than working as a Permanent NP.

WHY NURSE PRACTITIONERS CHOOSE THE LOCUM LIFE


Being a locum is one of the reasons Feneta F.C., FNP has stayed in practice. When we spoke, she told us “I think it’s actually made me, probably, stay in healthcare longer. I think, if I were working full-time, I probably would’ve retired by now.”

Her secondary reason for making the switch to locums is the flexibility that comes along with it. “I have elderly parents back home in England, and this was a good way to enjoy life and then also, to be able to go see my parents when I wanted to,” she said. A common positive attribute associated with being a locum provider is having the ability to build your schedule to meet your needs. “I love it because it does give you incredible flexibility and, for me, at this point in my life, this is very important,” she said.

TRANSITIONING SPECIALTIES AS A LOCUM NP


“Although I’ll always have a heart for primary care, after several years of working in family practice, I started to feel the urge to branch out into a different area of medicine. I was ready for a change of pace and to use my hands-on procedural skills more. Thankfully, as a locum tenens provider, I have the ability to choose contracts that best fit my lifestyle and preference. So, when the opportunity came up to work in an urgent care setting, I jumped at the chance when offered the position.” – Nadia S. DNP, FNP    Read Nadia’s NP story!

LOCUM TENENS NP ESCAPES THE WINTER


To most healthcare providers, working from the beach may seem impossible. But that’s exactly how Terry spent her winter in early 2018:

“I got a telemedicine locum assignment,” she says. “And I did it from the beach or the pool, it was awesome. And I have to tell you, when I had anxious patients on the phone, I would just show my video. If I was at the ocean, they would hear the ocean in the background and ask “are you at the beach?” I’m like “yeah! Do you want to look at it?” And I would show them the waves and stuff. And it just totally calmed them down! They felt great.” – Terry R., NP
