Frequently
Asked Questions
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.
• 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 SPT. (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).
02. There’s a lot that goes into finding your dream job, that’s why doing your research when it comes to selecting a healthcare staffing agency is a MUST. At LRS Healthcare, our travelers are our #1 priority. We work with great diligence to ensure you have the resources and help you need to be successful beyond the walls of the facility.
03. Depends on experience and the destination. Different states offer different benefits such as pay. If you are looking for higher pay, this may be something to consider. Pay can vary due to other factors as well, such as the job, facility, and agency you work with. Something else to pay attention to is whether job boards or sites promote jobs that display pay before or after taxes and include or exclude travel and housing stipends. All of these factors impact what your take-home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post. We recommend speaking with an LRS Healthcare recruiter so we can review your personalized pay package with you in full detail.
04. A standard SPT travel assignment is 13 weeks. Soon you’ll be a travel expert and will have explored everything the city has to offer and make new friends along the way. If you happen to find yourself attached to your assignment, you can always request an extension.
