About This Role
This 13-week travel nursing assignment places you in a busy emergency department at an acute care hospital, working three 12-hour night shifts per week. You'll earn between $1,660 and $1,763 weekly while managing the fast-paced demands of ER care—patient assessments, triage, emergency procedures, and collaborating with physicians and interdisciplinary teams. The role starts June 8, 2026, and requires a minimum of three years of direct ER nursing experience plus proficiency with Cerner electronic health records. This position suits nurses who thrive in unpredictable environments, handle high acuity cases confidently, and are ready for a short-term commitment with compressed scheduling that allows flexibility between assignments.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a typical travel nurse contract?
Most travel nurse contracts run 8–13 weeks, with the option to extend or take a new assignment after each contract. Some crisis or rapid-response contracts are as short as 4 weeks.
Is housing provided or is there a stipend?
Most travel agencies offer a tax-free housing stipend rather than agency-arranged housing. Stipends vary by city and assignment, typically $1,000–$2,500 per month on top of weekly taxable pay.
Do I need a compact nursing license?
A multistate (compact) license lets you work in any NLC member state without applying for a separate license. For non-compact states (e.g., California, New York) you'll need a state-specific RN license before starting.
