The Do’s and Don’ts of Travel Nurse Housing
Housing is one of the most stressful parts of travel nursing. It can make or break a contract, and a bad housing experience can turn someone away from travel nursing for good. You need to be informed, do your research, and communicate your expectations clear and upfront to your recruiter. Here are some of the top do’s and don’ts when it comes to the industry.
Top 3 Do’s of Travel Nurse Housing:
-
Do decide whether you will accept agency assigned housing, or stipend pay. Know the differences between the two and how they will affect your potential living situation.
-
Do your research of the city and have an idea of where you want to live. Your recruiter can be a great resource!
-
Do use credible sources when researching and setting up your own housing.
Top 3 Don’ts of Travel Nurse Housing:
-
Don’t assume agency assigned housing will be able to place you exactly where you want to be.
-
Don’t feel you have to stay in one place for the full 13-week assignment. Sometimes you can get better deals by splitting your contract time between a couple of locations.
-
Don’t assume a stipend is the easiest option and that it covers all your rent and utilities.
