Travel Nurse Housing 101
POSTED BY JESSICA ABHAT / CAREER ADVICE, TRAVEL NURSE HOUSING
Questions about travel nurse housing can be answered in one Google search, but as your research will demonstrate, not all staffing agencies are created equally. I’ve been a travel housing coordinator for years. Having worked for more than one travel nursing agency, I’ve seen the good and the bad. I’ve heard the same questions more times than I can count so I know that housing can be very stressful.
You have a ton of questions about your next assignment. It can be challenging to find housing that meets your needs, matches your lifestyle and still falls within your housing budget, but that’s where my negotiation skills come in. Regardless of whether you decide …show more content…
Traveling with a pet? Wanting to bring along a significant other? Provided options are available in your new area, I will do everything I can to honor your request and find you accommodating housing. There may be costs associated when bringing along pets or a significant other, at least when you get in the business of adding additional bed or bathrooms, so just be aware of those.
Sometimes traditional apartments or housing simply aren’t enough to meet your needs. Another separator of THS is that I utilize all available housing resources, including gorgeous vacation housing! When an apartment or temporary house won’t cut it, I personally exhaust every option before calling the closest hotel. This isn’t common in the travel nursing industry so just ask housing coordinators at other travel nursing agencies where they draw the line.
If you do need a hotel, I’ll negotiate the best rates. And again, if your assignment gets extended, I’ll make sure your hotel agreement does too. If that extension changes your flight plans, do not sweat it. THS covers the cost of one flight change in case your assignment goes longer than the original 13 weeks we planned.
Cool, what
