Travel nursing has proven to be a meaningful and exciting career path for many in recent years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the travel nursing workforce grew 55% between 2020 and 2021. The demand for travel nurses surged in part from a national staffing crisis exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and also in response to dynamic shifts within the nursing profession—namely, a demand for radical change in pay and working conditions. 

Today, we know travel nurses want better pay, more job flexibility, safer staffing ratios, and work-life balance.
