The traveling nurse career field is a branch of healthcare that combines aspects of nursing, including tasks assisting patients as well as administering vaccines, with moving to different locations around a country or even the world for a limited amount of time. Being a traveling nurse requires much schedule flexibility and time as well as dedication to the nursing profession. Traveling nurses are known to work in impoverished areas and places where conditions are less than desirable, so they must be prepared for anything when it comes to their occupation.

An example of a post-secondary education required for registered nurses including those of the traveling occupation is some type of nursing school outside of an undergraduate education. This is in order to obtain a registered nursing license (required for all RNs) as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, which isn't required but encouraged by most nursing employers.

The nursing field in general is an occupation that is always high in demand. Travel nursing is the same in this way, especially since traveling nurses are generally assigned to parts of the world with less than ideal conditions. There is a current need for traveling nurses, and this is expected to continue in the both the near and distant futures.

The average salary for a traveling nurse greatly depends on what region of the world they are working in as well as what type of nurse they are. Most traveling nurses in the United States earn anywhere from $18-$25 per hour of work, which can result in $60,000-$100,000 per year. The average salary of a traveling nurse is generally much larger in comparison to the typical hospital staff nurse's income.

Depending on the state or country, a traveling nurse will need to obtain a nursing license for that particular region in addition to maintaining the renewal of a Registered Nursing (RN) license.

The requirements for travel nursing generally adhere to those of the standard nurse, which typically includes anywhere from two to four years of schooling. However, a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing is not required for all traveling nurse organizations, but this degree is encouraged. At least one year of working as a non-traveling nurse in a hospital is necessary before becoming a traveling one.
