How Do Travel Nurses Find Housing? Agency vs. Stipend

For many travel nurses, housing is one of the most important pieces of the pay package , but can also be one of the most challenging aspects of being a traveler. It provides this exciting, yet terrifying adventure of finding a new home while having to sign a contract sight unseen most of the time.

Housing has certainly become a deal breaker for us — we won’t sign a contract until we know 100% what we’re getting into for housing.

Housing can make or break an assignment. Whether you’re a first-timer or a traveler who has been doing it for years, you’ll want to feel settled and comfortable in your new home. With the transitions between new jobs and new friend groups, having a safe and comfortable place to come home to is one of the highest priorities in a new contract.

Travel Nurse Housing Options

Travel nurse housing is available in two options:

• Agency-placed housing – Your staffing agency makes housing arrangements for you.
• Stipend pay – You receive a stipend and make your own housing arrangements.

I have used both options depending on the assignment. I know several travelers who only take agency-provided housing — it’s simple and one less thing to worry about. I also know travel nurses who take the stipend and either find their own housing or travel in an RV. One option isn’t necessarily better than the other. It really depends on what will work best for you.

Agency-Placed Housing

Typically, the more stress-free option for finding housing would be to allow the agency to provide it for you. Most agencies have an internal housing department that finds a place for a short-term lease (often they have long leases that they rotate travelers in and out). The agency also rents your furniture package, pays your utilities, and can even get you housewares like linens and dishes (typically, for an extra fee).

I’ve also heard of some agencies paying for cable and internet, though that’s not common. Often, they will set you up at an extended-stay hotel that has all of those amenities already provided.

Usually, agencies send you two to three housing options to choose from (if available and if you ask), but ultimately, they’re going to place you where is most convenient for them (typically what is currently available and the cheapest). You can request what you want, but there is no guarantee you will get it. Agencies often have access to discounts that are inaccessible to travel nurses.

Benefits of agency-placed housing

• The simplicity of it. If you aren’t super-concerned about housing or are new to traveling, it’s definitely the easier way to do things. You don’t have to worry about security deposits, arranging utilities, etc.
• The availability of housing. It may be difficult to find housing in smaller cities with limited housing options on your own.
• Better prices on housing. Agency-placed housing may offer you better housing options than what you can afford with the housing stipend. For example, finding a furnished, short-term lease that includes utilities during the holidays in a safe neighborhood in Manhattan for $1,600 per month will be tough.
• Better treatment. Landlords and property managers may be more attentive and helpful when they’re trying to please a large corporate staffing agency with the potential for a long-term contract versus an individual needing only a three-month lease.
• No money up-front. You don’t have to come up with money out of pocket for the lease, deposits, etc.
• Safeguard for cancellations. You eliminate a potentially expensive problem if your assignment gets canceled before your lease is up.

Stipend Pay

Understanding travel nurse contracts and the way a company pays travel nurses is the first step in deciding which route to go. Some companies pay nurses an extremely low hourly rate (as low as $20/hr), but that is the only money that is taxable.

The additional money falls into the housing and cost of living stipends, which are not taxed. Some agencies will look at the housing stipends and spend all of it, or the large majority while booking your agency-provided housing. Then, you are left with a small amount of money earned while at work. However, if you can find cheaper housing on your own, you can pocket the rest of what is left over from the stipend.

When you choose stipend pay, you’re responsible for finding, booking, and paying for all of your own housing and the expenses that go along with it. The actual dollar amount will differ based on the location and your specific contract, but it is typically adjusted based on the cost of living in that region. The travel company will provide you with either a weekly or monthly total for the specific stipend.

The best way to go about this is to find a fully furnished place that will include utilities, cable, and internet. These types of rentals often include all housewares and basic furniture, so all you have to bring are personal items.

Other travel nurses rent a standard apartment or house and then rent, bring, or buy furniture and set up utilities, etc. on their own as if they were a long-term renter. While even more adventurous travel nurses live in an RV or try van-life and rent a spot in a campground or RV park, the location is not likely to be right in the heart of a city.

Even though the stipend may sound like a lot, finding a decent, inexpensive three-month rental isn’t easy — often places charge a premium for short-term leases (sometimes double or triple the normal rent).

One of the other biggest challenges is trusting that the house/apartment will fit your needs without seeing it in person first. A lot of single travelers will rent rooms in houses, but that also provides a risk since you don’t have the opportunity to meet your roommates ahead of time. At a minimum, we recommend doing a video call with the landlord to meet them and view the property. Also, look for reviews from other nurses on Furnished Finder or Airbnb for the unit.

Benefits of stipend pay (and finding your own housing)

• You have control of where you live. Travel nursing for us is all about immersing ourselves in new cities . Everyone values different things in their home, and it is very nice having the option to prioritize what is most important to you. For some people, location is everything. Others want a place that looks nice and trendy, and they don’t mind a short commute. Using the stipend provided by the company allows for total control of where you live.
• You have control over how you want to live. Everyone has different preferences for which housing amenities they find the most important. For example, having a washer & dryer in the unit is important to many travel nurses, and most agencies don’t include that as part of their standard housing package. Sometimes the housing they find does include it, but oftentimes it doesn’t and you either have to pay extra for it or use laundromats. Some nurses may be comfortable splitting housing with roommates to save money, while others may want an entire place to themselves. Someone may find it important to be able to walk to attractions while others may just want something pet-friendly for their furry family members.
• You can make money off of the housing stipends. Some travel nurses find cheap housing and pocket the excess stipend money. Taking your own furniture or buying used items can save money too. Travel nursing in pairs can make you the most money — one of you can take agency-placed housing and the other the stipend and split it, or you both take the stipend and find a place together for cheaper rent. Sometimes, nurses are even able to find staff at the hospital to stay with for very reasonable rent.
• You have extra time to get settled. When taking agency-placed housing, you’re typically allotted two days to move in before your start date and two days following the last day of your contract. The flexibility to set your own move-in and move-out dates is nice and allows for additional time to travel or explore more of the area surrounding your contract dates.

Housing FAQ

If you take agency-provided housing and don’t ask for any upgrades, then yes. If you take the housing stipend and find something within that budget, then the answer is also yes. But if you want upgrades like two bedrooms, a vacuum, or a washer/dryer in the unit, you’ll have to pay extra. Likewise, if you can’t find what you want for the stipend amount, you may have to pay a little out of pocket.

Most agencies pay for utilities (gas, electricity, water) up to a certain point. With private housing, many landlords also include utilities (gas, electric, water, and internet) in the rent since it’s considered a “short-term rental”. Cable (and sometimes internet) may be at your own expense, although some companies do pay for that as well. As mentioned before, a lot of company housing involves extended-stay hotels, and therefore everything is covered.

Once you have an address (either agency-placed or arranged by you), contact the property manager or landlord and ask who the providers in the area are. Then compare pricing and schedule set up for your move-in day — you typically have to be present for the installation. Make sure whatever you sign up for doesn’t require a long-term contract. This often works in your favor, because cable companies generally offer promotional freebies for the first three months. Since contracts are generally three months, you’ll get a premium service at a base-level price. The benefit of finding a fully furnished apartment is that almost all of them include wifi with the cost of rent.

For most agency-provided housing, furnished means they’ll provide the following: – Bedroom : Queen-size bed, one nightstand, one dresser, and a lamp – Dining room : Small kitchen table with four chairs – Living room : Couch, chair, an end table, coffee table, a lamp, and a TV stand Dishes, linens, a TV, bedding, and a vacuum are considered extra and will cost more. A washer/dryer and even a microwave are not necessarily standard all the time either. You can negotiate some of these items. Oftentimes, nurses tend to travel with most of these “extras,” but other travelers I know buy them cheap each assignment, so they have less to move with. For private housing, it’s best to confirm what exactly is included in the listing. Many properties listed on Furnished Finder or Airbnb provide similar amenities and supplies that you could expect at a short-term vacation rental. However, doing a video walk-through or seeing a full listing of what’s included will better help you prepare.

Your options for finding housing are nearly endless. Just make sure you thoroughly vet the place and area before signing a lease — a great money saver isn’t worth it if it’s a risk to your safety. Travel nurse housing sites have become very popular as this profession has been highlighted over the past two years. A few ways to consider when finding your own housing: 1. Furnished Finder specializes in housing for travel nurses. With no booking fees for the traveler and background-checked property owners, this company was built from the ground up with the travel nurse in mind. This has quickly become one of the most popular ways to find housing, and you can even get reviews from previous tenants. 2. Facebook There are many groups on Facebook that can be extremely helpful with housing, especially local groups. Some sites will have homes listed for rent, and others have travelers’ feedback about certain places. This can be a great platform to find answers to simple questions as well, such as “what part of town do you recommend living in,” or “does anyone want to split housing in ‘x’ while we work.” 3. Traditional house-hunting sites like forrent.com and apartments.com 4. Vacation rental websites like Airbnb.com , VRBO.com , and homeaway.com 5. Temporary housing sites like sublet.com 6. Non-traditional housing options like couchsurfing.com or houseboat rentals (search by the city for best results) 7. Extended stay hotels like Candlewood , Extended Stay America , Residence Inn , etc. Be sure to ask for Healthcare worker discounts. 8. Craigslist – Although it has a bad reputation for scammers (and yes, they definitely exist), some of the cheapest housing options can be found on craigslist. A tip is to post your own ad that you are searching for furnished housing, and more people might reach out with options. 9. Stay with a friend or family member (maybe even for free!)

Most staffing agencies will give you two to three options to choose from if you ask — and if they have more than one available. You’ll get the spiel though that even if you put in a request it doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed. In my experience, most agencies aren’t typically overly accommodating when it comes to housing. If housing is important to you, it’s important to know what your deal breakers are and be upfront with your recruiter about that from the start. Even then, you may still end up being disappointed. But, contracts are short, and the housing is temporary.

The amount a company will pay you for your housing stipend is completely dependent on where you are traveling to. The GSA sets housing stipends, and they vary based on the city and state. For instance, the total amount a company will pay per week in Mississippi is vastly different than in San Francisco. Mississippi might be around $300 per week, but San Francisco would be more around $1000 per week. Your recruiter can give you an idea of how much you would make based on the locations you are looking at traveling.

The amount of the housing stipend is determined on the contract, the city, and how the particular agency breaks down its pay package. So, you may get a different amount for each travel nursing assignment.

This is dependent on what you want. Some short-term assignments like strikes do require you to room with a fellow nurse or take less pay to get a private room. Though, you should know this before you apply to the assignment. If you prefer to live alone, travel agencies can accommodate that, or you simply find housing yourself.

Yes! The options will be more limited, and you might have to pay more, but it is definitely possible. It’s something you’ll need to discuss with your recruiter from the start. They’ll have to find pet-friendly housing , and you’ll likely have to pay a pet deposit or pet rent.

Unfortunately, this does happen. Immediately contact your recruiter and in most cases, they’ll fix the problem if it’s truly unacceptable. I know a travel nurse who realized her housing was next door to a methadone clinic. When she contacted her agency, they moved her and the other travel nurses to a safer neighborhood. On the flip side, if you get there and the housing is more run-down than you’d prefer, they may not do anything. This is why I recommend you do your due diligence before you leave for an assignment — it’ll limit housing surprises!

It can be any of the above or even potentially a hotel. If your assignment is in a large city, then you’ll likely be housed in an apartment community. But in smaller towns where options are much more limited, there’s more variety in where you may get placed.

Contact your staffing agency and the landlord immediately. Once the sewage backed up in the house the agency rented us. We contacted our recruiter and the landlord, and someone was sent out that day to take care of the problem. The agency also offered to put us up in a hotel overnight if it wasn’t cleaned up by then — luckily it was. Usually, issues are more minor than this if they happen at all.

This is going to be on a case-by-case basis. If your agency is locked into a lease they can’t get out of, then you’re going to get some resistance. If the housing is truly unacceptable though, they should right the situation. But, if it’s just because you changed your mind, you might have some issues changing housing options last minute.

The big risk with taking the housing stipend is the chance your contract is canceled. Unfortunately, this is one of the biggest risks associated with travel nursing. In my personal experience, I have found most of my own places to live, and I know that the relationship that I have built with my landlords would have been crucial in this scenario. Although it never happened, I would imagine that most of them would have had me pay a few additional weeks’ rent, but then would have returned the rest of the money. However, if you have signed an agreement, not all landlords will take pity on your circumstances. Check the lease or agreement ahead of time and ask for something like this to be added in, if possible.

Sit down and write out what your priorities are. If ease and safety are high on your list, I would recommend going with company housing. But if potentially saving a bit of money and having a choice in where you stay seems more appealing, then venture down the path of taking the stipend. I would always recommend Facetiming with potential roommates or landlords while shopping from afar. This gives you an opportunity to meet them and get a read on their personalities, and ask to see the current condition of the room you might be staying in. Ask a lot of questions and ensure that they are knowledgeable about the house and that it feels like a safe contract to enter into. Personally, I have only taken company-provided housing for short, crisis contracts. These have been wonderful since finding housing on your own for three weeks can be difficult, and quite expensive. The ease of taking company housing was absolutely worth it for the short contracts. Overall, trust your gut. If something feels suspicious, it probably is.

Full Guide to Travel Nurse Housing Rental Options

Finding a great place for your healthcare professionals to stay while they're away from home is crucial in helping them maintain a quality standard of living.

We help you navigate the process efficiently and effectively.

If you’re looking into rental options for traveling nurses (or other healthcare professionals), you’ve come to the right place. We have plenty of material to help you find travel nurse housing.

When sending healthcare workers to remote locations, it can be challenging to find housing options at all — much less furnished rentals or temporary housing that works for your people.

We put together this full guide to help independent traveling nurses and other healthcare workers, as well as admins, recruiters, or team leaders, book the best rental options possible.

Finding a great place for your healthcare professionals to stay while they’re away from home is crucial in helping them maintain a quality standard of living.

In this post, you will learn everything you need to know to help you navigate the process efficiently and effectively.

Let’s get into it.

The Basics: Understanding Travel Nurse Housing Challenges

The number one challenge for healthcare workers concerning rental options is this:

Most rentals are only available for standard lease terms of six months or a year.

On top of that, while overnight and day-to-day lodging options work for a few days or even a week, they don’t make sense for longer-term stays.

Thus, there’s a housing gap when it comes to travel nurse housing.

This is why (especially in more remote locations) it can be difficult for travel nursing agencies and healthcare staffing companies to find short-term leases for their clients. Traveling healthcare professionals simply need a more flexible option than typical lease terms or standard hotel rooms allow.

Therefore, finding rental options that provide a quality fit for travel nurse jobs is crucial.

This next section will cover rental options you can look for to help make this remote work stay less of a hassle and more of a true home away from home experience.

Rental Options for Healthcare Professionals

Many healthcare staffing companies and agencies wonder if they should be using a housing service to help them find short-term rentals.

The answer is yes.

It would be best, especially if the area is so remote that you’re not finding many great housing options at first glance.

Let’s be honest. By the time you’ve relegated your search to websites like Craigslist — it’s probably time to turn somewhere else for assistance.

This is precisely what Travelers Haven can help you with.

Before jumping into that, let’s first discuss some of the best rental options available when booking lodging for a travel nursing assignment .

1. Extended Stay Hotels

An extended stay hotel is a hotel option that provides longer-term accommodation for guests.

The great thing about this option is that it gives you all of the usual amenities associated with a hotel stay (linen service, housekeeping, maid service, etc.).

The downside is that extended stay hotels aren’t always easy to find in remote locations.

And even when you do find them, there’s a question of whether or not they’ll be nice enough to make the guest feel truly at home for months at a time.

2. Corporate Rentals

A corporate rental usually refers to a turnkey furnished apartment that you can rent on a flexible short-term basis. It’s provided through property managers who offer short-term housing to traveling professionals.

Corporate rentals often come with a range of typical apartment-style amenities and will also come fully furnished.

However, they may not include amenities like maid service, linen service, etc.

The upside to this type of housing is that renters will tend to feel more at home here.

The downside is that they can be tough to find in remote locations.

Further, they can be a hassle to rent if they’re not managed properly (with bundled billing for utilities, proper access to essential life amenities like a washer and dryer, fitness center, grocery store, etc.).

3. Short-Term Rentals

Short-term rental describes any fully-furnished living space available for a short period, either for traveling professionals or for those traveling for pleasure.

These units can be rented anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Generally, a short-term rental has a maximum stay of 30 days, but this can vary from state to state.

For example — corporate housing is technically a type of short-term rental, as is a vacation rental.

4. Airbnb (and Other Sharing Economy Services)

Airbnb is one of the most widely known options for people who want to use the “ share economy ” to book short-term rentals, vacation rentals, etc.

VRBO is another similar example.

The upside to services like this is that they can sometimes make finding options in more remote locations easier.

The downside to vacation rentals is that they lack the consistency required for healthcare workers who need to know they’ll have their own housing needs taken care of for the duration of their assignment.

In certain situations, Airbnb hosts can cancel reservations without any adverse consequences from the platform.

This would be problematic for healthcare workers.

Imagine booking an Airbnb near a more remote hospital location, only to realize a week before the assignment that the entire reservation suddenly got canceled?

It can also be more challenging to find long-term options in the space-sharing economy simply due to the nature of how the platforms work.

For example, the property owners may only want to rent their housing out for weekends and shorter-term guests — as they may wish to return to the property and enjoy it themselves from time to time.

5. Workforce Housing

In the past, workforce housing has generally been defined as affordable housing located close to the assignment.

Occasionally, this housing would be provided by the company. It would consist of sites that were erected temporarily (for example, with trailers or other portable units) to supply lodging in areas where other options aren’t available.

However, that definition has changed over the last 5-10 years, especially with the subsequent rise of traveling professionals and the increasing need for high-quality short-term housing.

Nowadays, the term ‘workforce housing’ is used to more specifically describe on-demand housing (definition covered in the section below) for workforces related to the healthcare, construction, military, entertainment, and sports industries.

This is a significant shift that’s becoming more and more pronounced as more workers in these sectors travel to perform work in remote locations.

6. On-Demand Housing

On-demand housing is a new short-term housing option that has only recently hit the marketplace.

This is what Travelers Haven specializes in.

With on-demand housing, we source accommodation in remote locations for you . Then we handle all the bills, booking fees, payments, furnishings, and everything else. Meaning you get a fantastic short-term rental with a simple monthly bill that’s easy to pay (especially if you have a housing stipend and need to keep detailed records).

Plus, we do it without charging exorbitant fees or tacking on needless price markups.

This makes finding housing, even in difficult locations, super simple.

Here’s how it works:

You fill out a simple inquiry form and supply us with the essential details (time, location, etc.) of what you need in a short-term rental.

We search for the perfect housing option for your needs and come back with several options for you to choose from.

You choose the option you want. We then handle everything — from setting up utilities to making sure that it’s furnished. We even make sure that every property is pet friendly!

Nowadays, more and more traveling professionals are turning to on-demand housing because it’s so convenient, easy, and flexible.

Things To Look for When Renting Travel Nurse Housing

Alright. We’ve talked about all your traveling nurse/healthcare housing choices.

Now, let’s talk about what to look for to determine whether or not a potential lodging option will provide a quality living experience while your team is working away from home.

1. A Good Location

Is this lodging option close to the workplace?

This is crucial. Healthcare workers will need housing close to where they will be working.

It’s important for efficiency’s sake and for maintaining a quality standard of living.

2. Access To the Desired Amenities

You always want to look at what amenities are offered in conjunction with that particular lodging option.

For example, some things that you should look for include:

• Nearby grocery and food options
• Access to a fitness center/gym
• Laundry and dry-cleaning services
• The option for a maid service, linen service, housekeeping, etc.

3. Bundled Utilities

Your short-term housing option should include bundled utilities.

This is vital to avoid the needless running-around required to get everything set up with the utility companies.

A reputable housing company will handle this themselves, and lump everything into a convenient monthly payment.

At Travelers Haven , we always bundle utilities and necessary bills together with the rent payments for maximum convenience.

4. A Contract That Fits Your Needs

You always want to go over the contract with a fine-toothed comb to make sure that it meets your needs.

What you want to avoid are:

• Excessive short-term rental fees
• Inflexible contracts
• Contracts that force you to pay for more rental time than you need
• Agreements that contain clauses that might detract from your quality of life (like not allowing pets, making you pay extra for wifi, etc.)
• Contracts that make it possible to displace you in the middle of your assignment

5. Lifestyle Perks That Will Make You Feel at Home

Since this remote housing option will be serving as a home away from home, make sure that it includes lifestyle perks. That is, things that’ll help make it feel homier and less like a place you’re just visiting for work .

Some perks that you may want to look for can include things like:

• A concierge service
• Full-service laundry or dry cleaning
• A shuttle service
• Free parking
• Access to a fitness center
• Extra storage space (like a small garage or outdoor locker)
• Provided moving service
• Proximity to quality of life amenities, like restaurants, theaters, museums, parks, conservation areas, etc.

6. Furnishings, a Stocked Kitchen, etc.

You’ll definitely want to make sure to pay attention to whether or not the apartment is going to be fully furnished.

Most short-term rentals will always include furnishings but always double-check on this.

Also, make sure that there will be linens on the bed, blankets, pillows, towels, and a fully furnished kitchen.

It’s less common to find food in the kitchen, but there should be plates, bowls, cutlery, cooking utensils, basic appliances, etc.

The ultimate guide for writing a great nursing resume

The state of travel nursing in 2022.

Travel nursing is in a state of transition in 2022. Throughout the pandemic, COVID-related hospitalizations combined with staffing shortages and provider burnout led many hospitals to increase travel nurse usage to meet demand. But as hospitalizations surged, so did the cost of travel nursing contracts — and many nurses experienced an unprecedented period of demand and high compensation for their services. However, as COVID-19 trends toward endemic status and hospitalizations subside, that trend is changing.

Travel nursing: Then and now

Eleonore Ruffy, Vice President of RNnetwork, says that prior to the pandemic, travel nursing was a regular, steady business. “Hospitals staffed approximately two percent of their nursing positions with travel nurses,” Ruffy says. “Here at RNnetwork, we had roughly 8,000 open positions nationwide at any given time.”

However, as the COVID-19 pandemic surged — especially surrounding the Omicron variant in December 2021 and January 2022 — demand for travel nurses soared. COVID highlighted the value of nurses, but was also a tipping point , according to one industry expert.

“COVID patients were treated largely by nurses. So, as the hospitals filled and nurses treated those specific patients, demand spiked. Compounding the issue, nurses began to get very burned out from the experience, and many left their permanent positions or left the profession altogether,” Ruffy says. “At its highest, contingency nurses accounted for an estimated nine percent of total contingency staffing. Here at RNnetwork, we peaked at 55,000 open positions nationwide. As you can imagine, when supply didn’t increase, bill rates and pay rates went up dramatically at that time.”

Industry data suggest the average pay for travel nurses increased from $1,706 per week in December 2019 to around $3,290 per week in December 2021. The travel nursing industry doubled in size over the last year. And in 2021, travel nursing revenue tripled to an estimated $11.8 billion, up from $3.9 billion in 2015.

As COVID-related hospitalizations decrease and relief funding tapers off, some experts predict the travel nursing “bubble” may burst. Ruffy acknowledges the reduction in demand, but says demand and pay are still much higher than pre-pandemic levels.

“It has dropped back down, but it’s still much higher than it was before COVID,” says Ruffy. “We have more than 20,000 open positions. And while hospitals are making incremental adjustments to pay, rates are still much higher than pre-pandemic rates.”

Traveler and permanent staff rapport

In addition to demand and compensation, the pandemic impacted other areas of travel nursing, including increasing the tension that sometimes exists between permanent staff and travelers.

“There are definitely challenges to travel nursing,” says Ruffy. “And some got better and some felt more intensified during the pandemic.”

“Long-term relationships can be harder to forge as you’re seen as the new provider and have to learn new systems and new processes with new team members. Sometimes a stigma exists if someone is not a permanent nurse, and that stigma was exacerbated during the pandemic. As travel nursing compensation increased, that gap widened.”

“However, in areas like Florida and Arizona where the census changed a lot during the year, facilities have been very traveler friendly,” says Ruffy. “Facilities in these areas have historically been much more accustomed to having travel nurses. They are more welcoming, as a result, and tend to give a better experience overall because they have been more used to having temporary staff.”

Ruffy hopes that the pandemic-driven demand for travel nurses will help make it more standard practice for more areas and therefore contribute to friendlier work environments .

“As more and more facilities have gotten more comfortable using travel nurses, the experience has been enhanced,” says Ruffy.

Travel nursing outlook

As for the outlook for the travel nursing market, Ruffy is optimistic.

“I think the outlook is still very bright for travel nurses. Even though COVID seems to have settled, demand and travel nurse pay are still higher than pre-pandemic levels, and there is a really good opportunity for nurses who are interested in the travel profession to get in,” says Ruffy. “Travel nurses today may not expect to earn peak crisis pay, but they’re also not going to experience the challenges of peak-pandemic demand, either.”

Understanding Travel Nurses' Housing Benefits

Table of Contents

Travel nursing provides an opportunity for nurses to work in different locations, meet new people, and gain specialized experience while also enjoying various benefits. One such benefit is housing assistance. This article explores the different aspects of travel nurse housing benefits, including whether travel nurses receive free housing or a housing stipend, the advantages of provided housing, and how to find quality housing options as a travel nurse.

{{cta-light-with-image}}

Do Travel Nurses Get Free Housing?

Travel nurses often wonder if they will receive free housing during their travel assignment. In many cases, travel nurse agencies offer either agency-provided housing or a travel nurse housing stipend. Agency housing is considered "free" as it is included as part of the compensation package provided to the nurse, while the housing stipend is a monetary value for travel nurses to find their own accommodations. It's important to understand the pros and cons of both options before deciding which you prefer.

Advantages of Provided Housing for Travel Nurses

Travel nurse housing provided by the agency offers several benefits. First, this option ensures that the nurse will have suitable lodging arranged for them before the start of the travel assignment. This can help alleviate some of the stress of finding housing in an unfamiliar area.

Second, agency housing is typically furnished and centrally located, which offers the convenience of not having to travel far to reach the workplace. This can be especially beneficial in urban areas of the United States, where traffic and commute times can be a significant factor.

Lastly, opting for agency-provided housing can simplify the process of managing housing expenses, as it eliminates the need to search for housing options, sign leases, and maintain a budget for rent and utilities.

What to Expect in Travel Nurse Housing

Travel nurse housing, whether provided by the agency or obtained through a housing stipend, varies greatly based on location, diem rates, and personal preferences. However, there are some common characteristics that you can expect.

Accommodations are typically in safe neighborhoods, furnished, and include basic amenities such as utilities, cable, and internet. Additionally, housing options may range from apartment complexes to private condos or houses.

When considering agency housing or using a travel nurse housing stipend, keep in mind that you may need to budget for or inquire about additional amenities such as parking, storage, and laundry facilities. Make sure to communicate your needs and verify which amenities are included before finalizing any housing arrangements.

Travel Nurse Housing Stipend and Compensation

For nurses who prefer seeking their own accommodations or desire greater control over their living situation, accepting a travel nurse housing stipend may be the ideal choice. Housing stipends are a separate part of your compensation package, specifically designated for housing expenses during your travel assignment. They can be used flexibly to cover any housing-related costs.

Average Housing Stipend for Travel Nurses

The average housing stipend for travel nurses varies depending on several factors, including the cost of living, diem rates, and bill rates for the specific placement. Market demand and assignment location within the United States can also affect the value of the stipend, with higher amounts offered in more expensive cities or during busier seasons.

While specific numbers are difficult to pinpoint, travel nurse housing stipends typically range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per month. It's important for nurses to research current housing costs and available amenities in their assigned location when deciding whether the housing stipend will be sufficient.

Maximizing the Use of Housing Stipends

Effectively utilizing your travel nurse housing stipend can help you save money and enjoy your travel nursing experience even more. Collaboration with other travel nurses can be an excellent way to maximize your stipend. Consider sharing accommodations by renting exclusive rooms or choosing a larger apartment or house to rent together to decrease per-person expenses significantly. This can result in a more comfortable living arrangement and an increased opportunity to save money on your housing allowance.

Another way to maximize your housing stipend is by coordinating short-term leases, sublets, or extended-stay hotel accommodations which often come with additional amenities, utilities included, and require no long-term commitment. The key to maximizing the value of your travel nurse housing stipend lies in thorough research of the area, gauging housing expenses, and making informed decisions accordingly.

Travel Nurse Housing Stipends and Taxes

Understanding tax implications for travel nurse housing stipends is crucial, as it can impact your overall financial management during your assignment. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), housing stipends are considered a "reimbursement for expenses" and can be nontaxable if certain conditions are met. These conditions include: maintaining a permanent residence outside of your travel assignment area, having duplicated housing expenses, and proving the expenses are ordinary and necessary to carry out your job.

It's essential to consult with a financial professional or tax advisor to ensure you accurately understand and comply with the specific tax laws associated with travel nurse housing stipends. Having a clear understanding of your tax obligations will allow you to manage your finances effectively and avoid potential issues down the road.

Finding Quality Travel Nurse Housing Options

Travel nurse housing stipends offer various financial advantages for travel nurses in the United States who prefer to choose their housing. These housing options range from furnished apartments to hotels or extended stays. The diem rate significantly varies and often depends on the job location and the staffing agency providing the opportunity. So, knowing how to find the best travel nurse housing is essential for a successful travel assignment.

Using Travel Nurse Agencies for Housing Assistance

Many travel nurse agencies can help you with finding appropriate accommodations for your assignment. Agency housing is typically provided at a predetermined cost, which is reflected in your bill rate. These travel nurse agencies usually have partnerships with hotels, short-term leasing agents, and extended-stay establishments, and the housing options they offer are generally safe and comfortable. Moreover, some of these agencies have existing agreements in place, allowing them to provide housing at lower costs due to their established relationships.

Another advantage of working with travel nurse agencies is that they often provide a housing stipend if you prefer to find your housing. This housing reimbursement can be distributed on a weekly or monthly basis, allowing you to choose appropriate accommodations based on your preferences and personal budget. This option gives you more flexibility in choosing your living situation while still benefiting from an average housing stipend that ranges from $2,000 to $3,500 a month, depending on your location and assignment.

Tips for Securing Safe and Comfortable Housing

When using a travel nurse housing stipend to find and secure your accommodation, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Be diligent in researching your housing options. Look for a secure and safe neighborhood with favorable reviews from previous tenants or travel nurses.
• Ensure proximity to your assigned hospital or facility to minimize your daily commute time, allowing you to maximize your rest between shifts.
• Verify that the housing option includes necessary amenities, such as a comfortable bed, Wi-Fi, and parking.
• Consider flex housing if you want the convenience of a pre-furnished option while maintaining control over location, quality, and price.
• Always sign a written lease or rental agreement to ensure a clear understanding of the responsibilities and expectations of both parties.

Factors Affecting Housing Decisions for Travel Nurses

Several components can impact your decision to choose agency-provided housing or take advantage of a housing stipend. Some factors influencing this decision include bill rates, specific job assignments, and location. Thus, it is essential to carefully examine your travel nurse housing options and choose one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Considering Your Travel Assignment Location

The location of your travel assignment can significantly influence your housing decision. In more expensive cities, choosing agency housing may be more beneficial due to higher rent costs, while in less expensive areas, a travel nurse housing stipend might offer more cost savings. However, it is always essential to compare the per diem rates for your assignment location with your housing allowance to make an informed decision.

The General Services Administration (GSA) publishes per diem rates for various locations throughout the United States. These GSA rates offer a helpful reference when assessing housing costs. Use this valuable resource to compare the rates in your travel assignment location, helping guide your decision between agency housing or a housing stipend.

Assessing the Importance of Housing in Travel Nursing

Housing plays a crucial role in ensuring a rewarding and successful travel nursing experience. Having a comfortable and worry-free living arrangement allows travel nurses to focus on their jobs and enjoy their new surroundings. It is vital to carefully weigh the pros and cons of your housing options, taking into consideration factors such as job assignment, location, and available financial resources. Ultimately, the decision between agency housing and a housing stipend largely depends on your individual preferences, priorities, and comfort level.
