Frequently

Asked Questions

What are the requirements to travel as a Labor & Delivery Nurse?

01. Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. To guarantee that the process is quick and pain-free, we recommend that:
• All professional licenses and certifications are updated and ready to go before you apply.
• Any additional licenses that may be required based on your assignment’s location.
• You have at least 2 years of on-the-job experience as an L&D Nurse. (This isn’t necessarily required, but we have found that these individuals are typically positioned better and will likely be more comfortable with the responsibilities).

How do I get started as a traveling Labor & Delivery Nurse?

02. The first step is to seek out a healthcare staffing agency that works with you one on one to learn about your professional and personal requirements. Doing so, allows our recruiters to excel when it comes to the care they provide, finding you that perfect assignment. In return, our recruiters and their travelers, make long-lasting trustworthy relationships.

How much will I be paid to travel as a Labor & Delivery Nurse?

03. Short answer: depends on experience. Pay packages vary by experience, job, facility, and agency. 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. To double-check if this information is correct, reach out to your LRS Healthcare recruiter to confirm what’s included in your personalized pay package.

How long are Labor & Delivery Nurse Travel Assignments?

04. Typically, an L&D Nurse travel assignment is 13 weeks, which allows you to fully submerge yourself into your new city and see what it has to offer. If you find that you aren’t ready to depart from your current assignment, you can always request an extension.
