Travel LVN Jobs Overview
Being a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) is a rewarding career path that allows you to provide direct care to patients with a wide range of conditions. Want to expand your job options even further? You might want to think about becoming a travel LVN. IntelyCare can help you get started. You can find travel LVN jobs in acute, post-acute, and long-term care.
Remember that LVNs are known as licensed practical nurses (LPNs) outside of California and Texas, but the requirements for travel LPN and LVN jobs are likely to overlap. To make it simpler to work as a travel nurse, you can apply for a compact nursing license if you reside in Texas, a state that joined the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC). However, if you live in California — which is not currently a compact state — or the LVN travel nursing jobs you’re interested in are in non-NLC states, you must apply for a license by endorsement.
Wherever you wind up, know that staffing shortages across much of the country mean that your skills are in high demand. Start looking at all the LVN travel jobs that are available right now. You can also check out LVN contract jobs and LVN temporary jobs.
Enjoy Greater Flexibility With LVN Travel Nursing Jobs
When you’re searching for work as a full-time LVN, part-time LVN, or per diem LVN, you’re limited to the jobs in your location. One benefit of LVN travel nurse jobs is that you can cast a much wider net. You can try living and practicing in a brand-new environment to see if you might want to permanently relocate, but there’s no obligation to do so once your contract is complete.
In fact, you might choose to return to school to pursue an advanced degree, explore remote LVN jobs, study for a specialty certification, or check out available LVN/LPN travel nursing jobs in a totally different location.
Expand Your Skills in Travel LVN Jobs
LVN travel contracts can offer you valuable experience to fortify your LVN resume and cover letter. You’ll get unique opportunities to hone your problem-solving and critical thinking skills to quickly adapt to a new facility. You might even take a job in an area of nursing that encourages you to pursue specialty credentials such as Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification.
In addition, you’ll learn how to establish trust with new teammates and patients, who may have different communication styles than you’re used to. Being able to contribute to a healthy nursing culture can put you in high demand.
Earn Good Money in LVN Travel Jobs
The average LPN/LVN salary is $60,790 per year ($29.23 per hour), but travel LPN/LVN jobs may pay even more because of the increased demand for your skills.
