Contact a recruiterFreedom, growth, and real support—on your terms.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many nurses, therapists, and allied health professionals are making the leap into travel healthcare, here’s your answer: It’s not just about changing jobs—it’s about building a career that fits your life.
Whether you're craving more flexibility, better pay, or new experiences, travel healthcare offers a career path that works with your lifestyle, not against it.
What is travel healthcare and why is it so popular? Travel healthcare allows clinicians to take temporary assignments at facilities across the U.S. This flexible, high-reward career path offers better pay, freedom to choose your location, tax-free stipends, and faster career growth compared to traditional staff roles. |
Travel Healthcare Pay
Let’s be honest. Pay is one of the biggest reasons clinicians consider travel, and for good reason. Travel clinicians often earn more than their staff counterparts thanks to tax-exempt stipends that cover housing, meals, and incidentals.
- Pay packages that cover your bills and your bucket list
- Tax-exempt stipends help maximize take-home income
At FlexCare, our first offer is our best offer. We break everything down so you know exactly what’s in your contract, including tax-exempt stipends and take-home pay. No hidden math. No second-guessing. Just the confidence of knowing you're making the right move
Flexibility & Freedom
Travel healthcare gives you the freedom to take control of your career, without getting tied down. You’re not locked into one facility, one team, or one routine. That means more variety, fewer office politics, and the space to reset between assignments.
- Choose the cities and contract types that match your goals
- Build in breaks for travel, rest, or home life
- Stay open to new experiences—whether that means a new facility every 13 weeks or extending when it feels right
Flexibility isn’t just a perk—it’s the point. With FlexCare, you choose where you go, when you go, and how often you take assignments. Whether you're chasing new experiences or planning for downtime between contracts, our recruiters get to know your goals and help you find assignments that fit your life, not the other way around.
