Travel nursing offers adventure and high pay, but it comes with challenges. Here is what you need to know before packing your bags.
1. Licensing
Ensure you have the necessary licenses for your target states. The eNLC (Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact) makes this easier.
2. Housing
Decide whether to take the agency's housing stipend or find your own place. "Tax home" rules are critical to understand to avoid IRS issues.
3. Flexibility
The best travel nurses are adaptable. You'll be dropping into new hospital cultures and workflows constantly.
