Questions

Becoming a traveler or hiring travelers can come with a lot of questions — and we’re here to help. Whether you’re a nurse, allied health professional, or healthcare facility, we’ve gathered the answers to your most common questions in one place.

For Travel Nurses

How does travel nursing work?

Travel nursing is a career path where registered nurses (RNs) take temporary assignments—usually lasting from a few weeks to several months—at healthcare facilities experiencing staffing shortages or increased patient demand. These positions are often facilitated through staffing agencies, like ARMS, that match nurses with hospitals or clinics in need of short-term help.
