Asked Questions

01. To be eligible to travel as a licensed practical or vocational nurse you must first have all your licensing and certifications up to date. The required licenses may vary depending on the state in which you take a travel contract. And while it is not required, you’ll likely be more confident as a care giver if you have at least 6-month’s of on-the-job experience.

02. Once you’ve completed your education and have your all your certifications and licenses, choose a healthcare staffing agency you want to work with and either reach out, or apply for a job. At LRS Healthcare, our recruiters are here to help you find the best LPN or LVN travel gig that pays well and is in a city that you’ll enjoy. 

03. Pay packages vary job-to-job, and by agency. This could be before or after taxes, so what is promoted online could be different than what your take home will be. It is best to discuss the details this with your LRS Healthcare recruiter, so you know what to expect for your weekly paystub. 

04. A standard medical traveler assignment is 13 weeks; however, long-term care facilities are more willing to take some shorter contracts. It is not uncommon for an LPN to commit to an 8-week travel assignment, then extend to continue exploring the city or to perfect their new skills.
