Healthcare Travel Jobs Across the United States

We list travel contracts across five categories: nursing (ICU, ER, OR, L&D, and more), allied health (respiratory therapy, surgical tech, pharmacy tech), therapy (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology), imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray), and lab (MLS, MLT, blood bank). All listings are aggregated from vetted staffing agencies and updated daily.

Weekly pay varies by specialty, location, and contract urgency. Across our current listings the average is $1,973/week. Crisis and rapid-response contracts often pay significantly more. Each listing shows the full pay breakdown including base rate, housing stipend, and meal allowance so you can compare packages transparently.

Yes. You need an active, unrestricted license in the state where the contract is located — or a compact/multistate license that covers it. Many agencies help with license transfers and reimburse fees. Required certifications (BLS, ACLS, specialty certs) are listed on each job posting so you know exactly what's needed before you apply.

Most contracts run 13 weeks, though 8-week and 26-week assignments are also common. Some facilities offer extensions if both sides agree. You can filter by contract length on MedNomadJobs to find assignments that fit your schedule.

A housing stipend is a tax-free allowance your agency pays so you can arrange your own accommodation near the facility. Stipend amounts vary by city — high cost-of-living areas like San Francisco or New York tend to offer higher stipends. You can also choose agency-provided housing instead, though most travelers prefer the stipend for flexibility.

We focus exclusively on travel and temporary healthcare contracts — no permanent positions mixed in. Every listing shows transparent weekly pay, stipend details, and contract terms upfront. We aggregate from multiple agencies so you can compare offers in one place, and we remove expired postings automatically.
