Travel nursing is about more than just travel & exploration - it's your chance to take control of your life, your wage, and your happiness!
For most nurses, the big "you've finally made it" moment comes when you've land your first full-time line at a hospital.
But after that, life may begin to drone on. The same line, in the same under-staffed unit, with little flexibility, and don't even get you started on vacation requests... It's the perfect recipe for burnout.
Travel nursing changes the game. Say goodbye to burnout and hello to fresh opportunities in new places, with exceptional pay, and a schedule you can custom build!
“I’ve worked for multiple agencies across Canada over the last few years and NMC is truly the best - besides the basics you’d want from any travel nurse agency - they’re also: authentic, by-nurses-for-nurses, and pay the highest base wage! I send all my colleagues to NMC because of how great they’ve treated me; how they work with and support me.”
Yes! Travel and accommodations are always covered, regardless of the assignment location. We've got you!
