How Far From Home Do You Need to be for a Travel Therapy Contract?

Prospective travel therapists often wonder how far away from home does a job need to be in order to be considered a travel therapy contract.

Often the people asking this question have a reason for not wanting to leave their home area, such as family ties or being locked into a mortgage or lease, but they still want the benefits that come along with travel therapy like higher pay and flexibility to take time off between contracts.

They assume that living at home but taking travel therapy contracts within driving distance will give them the best of both worlds, but unfortunately it’s a little more complicated than that.

Travel Therapists: would you/should you accept a travel contract without doing an interview?

In our opinion, the phone interview with the facility is one of the most important steps to ensure a travel therapy contract is a good fit before accepting…

We recently learned that some companies/facilities may be trying to move away from doing formal interviews…

Alternatively- they’d have the traveler submit answers to some questions & screen based on that - then make an offer. This is apparently common practice with travel nursing & other specialties not to do an interview.

There are a lot of factors to consider here… Join us on this episode to learn more!

-Why you might want to extend

-Why the facility might ask you to extend

-Logistics of negotiating an extension

-Others terms you may include in your extension, etc!
