Housing is one of the most vital pieces of the travel nursing experience. As a nurse, you do not want to leave for an assignment without knowing where you’re staying. Your stay can determine how close you are to the facility, sightseeing opportunities, and amenities such as the grocery store. We don’t want you to dislike your travel assignment simply because you hated where you lived. Fortunately, Prime Time Healthcare offers two different options when it comes to your housing.

‍

Housing Stipend

This option is used when the traveler makes their own housing arrangements with money provided by their recruiter. This is a budgeted amount and differs from each travel assignment depending on the location and contract details. We break this amount down into a weekly rate that will be paid out every Friday on your paycheck. We do not cover any deposits for any housing that you wish to cover with your stipend.

‍

Agency Placed Housing

This is a commonly used housing option. We have a travel department within the corporate office that researches all of the local housing options in the region you will be traveling to. This ensures we are able to provide you with the best housing possible. Many companies only offer stipends and we pride ourselves on offering both! There are many benefits of agency placed housing starting with the simplicity and stress free experience of having our travel coordinators take care of all of the arrangements for you!

Regardless of what option you pick, we hope that we can accompany you along the way of your travel journey! Feel free to reach out to your recruiter or fill out an application to find out what housing option works best for you.
