Then and Now: Pre and Post Pandemic The world of Travel Nursing has been around for many a year before the Pandemic hit. While it's true that travel nursing (and I include tech's and all in that moniker) exploded during the pandemic, it's not a new concept. With the idea more on the forefront of the healthcare industry, the general consensus amongst travelers is that rates and pay have dropped too much, and hospitals and facilities are underpaying their travelers. While I believe that most healthcare professionals are not paid nearly enough for the job they do, that sentiment is actually less than accurate. You see, Before the pandemic, rates were even lower than they are now for a majority of the country. Regardless of compact or non-compact, rates have stabilized great deal, but are still higher than pre-pandemic rates. I believe one of the main reasons for this is that burnout during the pandemic created a shortage of staff due to too many professsionals leaving the field. Travel is more common, and staff harder to come by, so travel contracts must remain competitive for the market without creating too much budget strain. It's a delicate balance. Gone are the subsidies the government provided to facilities during the pandemic. This means that hospital can no longer subsizide their rates, and so the rates we are left with today are only what their budgets can accomodate. Travel Nursing while not as 'lucrative' a vocation as it was during the pandemic, is still quite ahead pay wise of permanent staff. So, it comes down to what you need verses what you want. If you can't have it all; shift pay and location, create your priority list. Once you know what you need, you'll be able to find a contract which will make you happy with enough of what you want as well.

🌍 Explaining the 50-100 Mile Policy to Travel Nurse Candidates 🌍 Travel Nurse #Recruiters, have you ever explained the importance of the 50-100-mile policy to candidates? "It's not us, it's them", usually doesn't go over very well! Here’s how Wise Medical Staffing Recruiters break it down:  Why is there a 50-100-mile policy for travel nurses? 🚗 Tax Benefits and Compliance  The main reason for the 50-100-mile policy is tied to tax regulations. To qualify for the tax-free stipends that make travel nursing so attractive—covering housing, meals, and other expenses—the IRS requires that your assignment is far enough from your permanent home to necessitate temporary lodging. Typically, this distance is set around 50-100 miles to ensure it’s truly a "travel" position. 🚗 Encouraging True Mobility  Hospitals implement this policy to ensure they are bringing in nurses who are truly “traveling” to the location, not local nurses who might otherwise commute. This helps maintain the integrity of the travel nursing model, which is designed to address staffing shortages by bringing in outside expertise. 🚗 Facility Requirements and Market Dynamics  Many hospitals have specific needs that can only be met by bringing in nurses outside the local area. The 50-100-mile policy helps ensure that travel nurses fill genuine staffing gaps rather than replacing local nurses who could commute to the facility. 🚗 Avoiding Conflicts with Local Staffing  This policy also helps avoid conflicts with local staff who might feel displaced by travel nurses. It keeps a clear distinction between local and travel positions, ensuring that travel nurses are brought to supplement, not replace, the existing workforce.  When explaining this to candidates, we emphasize that the policy is in place to protect their #benefits and ensure they can take full #advantage of the perks that come with travel nursing. It also ensures they are placed in positions that genuinely need their skills, making their work even more valuable and impactful. #HCSM #CEOHealthcare #B2B #outsourcing #healthcare #eldercare #Hospital #seniorcare #healthcareadministration #support #homecare #patientsafety #healthsystems #HCLDR #healthcarechat #MGMA #wisechoice #wisemedical #mentalhealth #correctionshealthcare #healthcarestaffing #businessgrowth #recruitmentexperts
