All agencies will offer a housing stipend if
the nurse decides to secure housing independently of
the agency. Some companies require the traveler to
take the housing stipend and set up housing in their
name rather than in the name of the company stating
that they will make more money, which is not
necessarily true. The housing stipend or provided
housing will be taxed as part of the pay if the
traveler does not have a permanent tax home.
Applying
with one of over 400 travel nurse companies only
occurs once. Nurses do not need to fill out all of
their information for each position within one
company. This enables nurses to apply for many
positions concurrently. although
many hospitals do not allow permanent residents
within a certain radius to work as a Traveler.
