Getting started in healthcare travel
At Triage, we do our best to help make the time you spend on the road worth it. If you’ve never traveled with us—or at all, you may be wondering exactly how it all works.
It begins with you
And what you want out of your career and the traveling lifestyle. Some want the chance to make more money as a traveler, see new locations, gain experience working in different facilities, with different equipment, or the opportunity to put miles between you and that ex—hey, we’re not here to judge. It’s the starting point for what comes next.
Experience
It’s important to note that most traveling nurses and medical professionals will need at least two years of experience before beginning to travel. The exceptions to that rule are rehab therapy professionals. Many rehab travel therapists can usually start their life on the road as soon as they pass their boards.
Healthcare Travel: How it Works
Find a recruiter you click with
Once you’ve found a recruiter who suits you, they’ll guide you through a series of steps to securing your first gig. Things like submitting an official application, polishing your resume, establishing your professional skill set, understanding the types of facilities and situations you prefer. And, of course, they’ll cover the ins-and-outs of working with Triage—pay, benefits, housing assistance, etc.
Choose jobs and interview
Let’s do this. Once the details are squared away, it’s time to start submitting you to open placements. Phone interviews ensue. Offers arrive. And off you go.
We’re not done yet
But we’re not finished. Of course we’re not finished. Your recruiter is with you every step of the way. They help with finding housing, structuring your benefits as your tax pro advises, and keeping tabs on how much your temporary bosses love you (and what to do if either of you have lost that lovin’ feeling).
Repeat as needed
Once your assignment is up, you can dive right back in or take a breather. Your call. Just like about everything else at Triage. Like Burger King, we’re here to do things your way.
In it for the money? We get it.
Whether it is paying off student debt, seeing the country sea to shining sea, or paying for a family, we’re under no illusions about money’s role in your decision to travel. Read on for more about how you get paid, some expenses we’ll help you manage, and how our benefits package works.
