I am considering becoming a travel nurse, but I have a family. Can they come with me on my assignments? If so, how does that work?

Yes, absolutely! Travel nursing provides the opportunity to bring your family and friends with you on your assignments. Here are some tips to make it easier:

Speak to your Recruiter: Make sure to discuss this with your recruiter when you are considering accepting an assignment. Discuss any requests you may have for housing for your family, such as a separate bedroom or any other special needs. Many companies have options for special accommodations.
Research Housing Options: Speak with local real estate agents to find housing options for your family. Many local rental agencies specialize in furnished short-term rental properties that you can look into. Be sure to factor in utility costs to the rental budget.
Look into Schools & Local Activities: If your family plans to join you for your travel nurse assignments, it’s important to research the local schools and area activities that may be available. It’s also important to look into medical care options available in the area.

Travel nursing is a great option for families, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. With some research and the right arrangement, your family can make the most of your travel assignments.

It is possible to bring family members along with you on your travel nursing assignment, although it is ultimately up to the facility and the travel nurse agency you are working with. Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are now allowing travel nurses to bring family members, as long as they are seen by the hospital as an extension of the travel nurse’s role. Make sure to discuss this option thoroughly with the respective facility and travel nurse agency. When applying for a travel nurse position, be sure to ask the recruiters about the possibility of bringing family members in the very beginning. That way, the agencies will be aware of this from the start of the process. Research and familiarize yourself with the laws and requirements of each state and region, as it may affect your ability to bring family members on your assignment.

Bringing family members can be very rewarding and also increase your sense of security and well-being. Of course, it is important to consider the costs associated with travel. You may need to factor in the additional costs of housing, food, travel, childcare, and other expenses. Be sure to explore your options before making any decisions.

Ultimately, it is possible to bring family members with you when you take on a travel nursing assignment, but it is always best to discuss this in detail with the facility and travel nurse agency prior to making any decisions.
