There is a well-documented nursing shortage in our country, and travel nurses help healthcare facilities fill staffing gaps for specific periods of time. These facilities may lack nurses because of geographic location, an expected leave of absence by a key staff member, seasonal fluctuations or lack of access to skilled nurses.
MedWave places nurses in facilities across 48 states for anywhere from 3 to 13 weeks. If you are looking for new challenges, it’s time to ride the travel nursing wave.

Crossing state lines to deliver care does require some compliance hoops, but MedWave makes the entire process simple for you. You simply apply with us and we get the ball rolling.

Who Is Travel Nursing Good For?
Any licensed nurse looking for new challenges. Traveling is great for:
- Nurses who want to try different work environments.
- Nurses new to the field who are still exploring specialties.
- Empty nesters who would like to travel more without retiring.
- Nurses who want to work for underserved populations.
- Any nurse who simply wants to see more of the country.
- Nurses who want the flexibility to take time off between assignments.
How Do You Become A Travel Nurse?
Almost any licensed nurse can become a traveler! There is no extra training or education required to work in different facilities. There is some extra compliance work that needs to be done for you to work in another state, but MedWave will help you achieve that compliance.
Travel nursing is an amazing opportunity for nurses looking to experience the country, advance their careers, and earn a competitive salary. There are positions available every day throughout the country in many different specialties.
