Travel nurse jobs offer flexibility, strong income, and unique clinical experience. With increasing demand nationwide, nurses can explore high-paying assignments across the United States.
Agencies like Anders Group connect nurses with meaningful assignments while ensuring contract transparency and dedicated support.
Travel nurse jobs are temporary assignments (typically 13 weeks) that fill staffing gaps in hospitals and healthcare settings. Nurses travel to new facilities and receive competitive pay, stipends, and professional growth opportunities.
This is your primary taxable wage — impacted by specialty, location, shift type, and experience.
Travel nurse jobs often offer tax-free stipends for housing and meals, significantly increasing take-home pay.
After the allowed call-off limit is reached:
A call off happens when a shift is cancelled before it starts. Guaranteed pay may not apply until the call-off limit is reached. Reporting pay (minimum hours if sent home) may apply in some states.
Call-back pay is when you return to work after finishing a shift — typically with a guaranteed minimum pay (e.g., 4–8 hours) and potential overtime, depending on total hours.
Most travel nurses are non-exempt, which means overtime typically applies after 40 hours worked per week at 1.5× base pay. Shift differentials for nights, weekends, and holidays are separate from overtime.
California assignments often offer some of the most competitive pay due to state labor protections.
