Frequently Asked Questions:

How many states currently have travel nurse openings?

All 50 states have travel nurse jobs available. The demand shifts based on season, specialty, and hospital needs. At TNAA | TotalMed, we update our job openings daily, so you can quickly and easily see which states have the most opportunities right now. Look through the full list above to find current job openings by state.

Do I need a separate nursing license for each state?

With the NLC (Nurse Compact License) in effect in most states, you don’t typically need separate licenses. The NLC allows nurses to work in multiple states with one multistate license. If your assignment is in one of the non-compact states, you will need that state’s license, but don’t worry, our recruiters can help guide you through the process so you can get started on your assignment quickly.

What type of benefits does TNAA | TotalMed offer for travel nurses?

TNAA | TotalMed offers a comprehensive benefits package designed specifically for healthcare travelers. This includes day-one insurance, weekly pay, guaranteed hours on many assignments, education assistance, clinical support, and access to our employee assistance program. Travelers can also take advantage of our referral program!

How does TNAA | TotalMed support housing and travel logistics?

TNAA | TotalMed offers housing flexibility so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle and budget. Travelers receive a housing stipend and are free to keep any unused portion, giving you more control over your expenses. Our team is here to help with guidance, resources, and reimbursement support to make your move as smooth as possible.

Which state is best for travel nursing?

The “best state” truly depends on your specialty, lifestyle, and your salary goals. States like California, Washington, and New York often offer higher pay (however, always keep in mind the cost of living in these locations), while states like Texas, Florida, and North Carolina offer strong demand and a lower cost of living. Use the state list above to compare assignments and find the right fit for your next contract.

How often do travel nurse job openings change?

Travel nurse openings change frequently, often daily, based on hospital staffing needs. Be sure to check back often or set up job alerts with TNAA | TotalMed to make sure you never miss new opportunities in your preferred locations.
