Happy Holidays, Healthcare Professionals!

As we wrap up the year, an exciting and unique opportunity for healthcare professionals awaits— travel assignments during the holiday season. Whether you’re a veteran traveler or just starting out, you’ll see it’s not just a job; it’s an adventure filled with both financial and emotional rewards. 

Let's dive into why it’s great to have a travel position locked in during the holidays!

Increased Pay Rates

As a Prime Time Healthcare traveler— expect higher pay rates during the holidays to stack on top of your housing and traveling reimbursements alongside any overtime and holiday pay! Our travelers receive at minimum time-and-a-half for overtime as well as premium holiday pay for those shifts worked. The holiday period is busy, and your skillset is extremely useful— you look at earning up to double your usual hourly wage! 

Resume Gold

Diverse experiences are a big plus in the healthcare industry. Working in different settings during the high-pressure holiday season shows off your adaptability to potential employers. These stints are resume boosters, making you a hot commodity for future employers. The skills gained from diverse experiences are essential for providing quality care and are highly valued in the healthcare industry and lay a strong foundation for more travel jobs or permanent roles. A study by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing found that a diverse range of nursing experiences contribute significantly to a nurse's skill set and professional development.

Mental Health Heroes

As a healthcare worker, you're the ray of light in the hospital. You chat with patients and listen to them, making the wards feel happier, especially during the holidays when people feel lonely. You're also the first person to help when someone shows early signs of feeling stressed or sad. You make sure they get the right help for their mental health. The American Psychological Association says that 38% of people feel more stressed during the holidays. This stress can cause sickness, sadness, worry, and sometimes even lead to using harmful substances. They also found that 64% of people who already have mental health issues feel worse around this time. By being there during the holidays, you're doing something you love and making a big difference in taking care of people's mental health in the hospital.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Hospitals and Long Term Care facilities during the holidays are especially festive! You’ll see wards decked out in decorations and fun activities like Secret Santa. This inclusive environment is especially beneficial for newcomers, as it offers an opportunity to bond with the team and patients that you only get during the holidays. Because of the season and short staffed period, travelers are more welcomed this time of year, bringing a sense of belonging and community.
