Travel nursing checklist item #7
Dec 12th, 2007 | By Jeff | Category: Travel Nurse Company, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Benefits, Travel Nursing Checklist, Travel Nursing Tips, Travel nursing lifeThe next things you want to look at are travel nursing benefits. Different companies offer different benefits but there are some basic benefits, besides compensation, you should look for. These include:
Furnished Housing
401(K)
Health Insurance
Travel Reimbursement
Licensure Reimbursement
Direct Deposit
However, many companies offer a much broader range of benefits including:
Referral bonus
Completion bonus
Sign-on bonus
Extension bonus
Free continuing education credits
Private housing Remember though that you are still paying for these benefits one way or the other if they come in cookie cutter standard packages.
However, if the travel nursing company lets you customize your compensation package and utilize per diem allowances, then your chances to maximize your pay are much greater. That’s because you have the room to negotiate and personalize your package based on what you need. You are not forced to take a benefit that frankly doesn’t benefit you. Just another area to keep in mind on your travel nursing journey.
