The Big Money Question(s)
We’re sure you have lots of questions about money. How much you’ll earn in comparison to a perm job is an easy one to start with. Quite a lot more. You’re worth your weight in gold to the facilities who hire you.
Travel nursing is a government service and how you are paid and taxed is very different from your perm staff colleagues. The rules and regulations can seem complex at first. Don’t worry, your Wayward Recruiter will help you. You’ll soon get the hang of it, and learn to recognise the true value of your assignment offers.
In addition to tax breaks, as a travel nurse you can also take advantage of a variety of discounts and offers. Most involve simple and efficient ID verification processes.
