What are the requirements to travel as an OT?

01. Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. To ensure that you are ready to go when a recruiter contacts you, we recommend that:
• All professional licenses and certifications are updated and ready to go before you apply.
• You have any additional licenses that may be required based on your assignment’s location.
• You are a new graduate or have on-the-job experience as an OT.

How do I get started as a traveling OT?

02. Like we do most things, it’s important to do your research. You’ll want to pick a reputable healthcare staffing agency like LRS Healthcare. As one of our travelers, you’ll have access to our dedicated operations and traveler experience teams 24/7/365. Once all clinical reviews, background checks, and paperwork are completed, you’ll be ready to accept an offer!

How much will I be paid to travel as an OT?

03. The job, destination, facility, and agency you work with are all variables that directly affect your take-home pay. You will also want to check if sites and job boards that promote weekly pay either display the pay before or after taxes and include or exclude travel and housing stipends. These variables affect what your take-home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post. For the most accurate estimate, reach out to your LRS Healthcare recruiter. They will outline your personalized pay package with you, so you know what to expect on each pay stub.

How long are OT Travel Assignments?

04. A standard OT travel assignment is 13 weeks. By the end of your assignment, you will move on from tourist status and call this city one of your many homes. If you happen to find yourself attached to your assignment, you can always request an extension.
