Good video, the best decision I made as a RN nurse was to create a side hustle for extra income streams. It has really helped me and my family financially stable.

What if you duplicate your housing but work at a facility less than 50 miles away from your home base? Say it’s 25 miles away and while you technically couldddd commute, you don’t want to do that long of a commute so you pay for a short term rental near that job?
Hi Anna! Thank you so much for this video. Can you PLEASE do a more in depth video for a first time traveler on how exactly to find a good contract with the right company, organizing things you need, getting the paperwork and financial things in line etc. I would find it SUPER helpful and I’m sure many others would too!!
Choose older agencies. FYI Remember the agency cannot control what goes on in the hospital, nursing home, etc. Some have benefits (MSN) and some don't.
Thank you for sharing this... I take on 13-week contract assignments too and I talked to my recruiter about what you stated regarding the tax-free stipend and she confirmed everything you did and she was very helpful in answering my questions. Please make more videos like this!
Thank you for this! I have been looking at LOCAL travel nurses. Most people think travel nursing means going away when in fact there are positions locally that pay $2,000-4,000 a week plus all the added benefits for me to not leave my home!
Do you know of any agencies that have local contracts. I’m in Florida and it seems I can’t find anything in my area. Everything causes for me to go 3 hrs plus away to work
This was so helpful and cleared up so much information! Thank you! :) I'm a new grad nurse just starting out in the ED. Once I get my 2 years experience, I think I'd like to do local travel nursing :D
I'm a new nurse! I really want to, both, travel but also become a CRNA, like you. I feel like I can't do both.. but now I feel there's hope and I can. How can I become a CCRN the fastest and save for CRNA school. I want to save for 4 years and apply to CRNA school when i'm 40-41 yr old. Can you make a video about this, share the schools you looked into for CRNA school, why you chose the one you did and didn't choose the others, and how to save or get scholarships for CRNA school. I'm single so I will have to fund my schooling and living expenses for the whole 3-4 years of CRNA school.
9:08 Awesome content! 🎉 It’s been a year. How’s the travel nurse life doing for you? Can you recommend your CPA please? I’m start in the DMV area, but tax home is NYC; with aspirations to work in North California and/or Santa Carla, CA out of my Suburban. Trauma Certified ICU Traveling ER Nurse (ENP/MSN) Any suggestions for me?
Can you talk about what happens when you run out of local hospitals to work? Do you just cycle back through? How can you decrease your taxable income being that you don’t get stipends?
I am in LPN school, goal is to local travel. Would I be able to staff in a hospital (they will be paying for my bridge program which is why I will stay there a little while) & local travel? Also do I have to wait a certain amount of time to local travel?
Hey! I’m looking to move from California to Texas but for local travel not regular travel nursing as this would be my first contract. Is that something that’s feasible?
How does the stipend work if you are working in the same state, but duplicating expenses because I work over 100 miles and I am nearing my year on my contract ( I’ve renewed 4 times). Do I now need to work in another state since I’ve would have worked almost exhausted the 12 months
I'm interested in the travel nurse jobs in my local area from a landlord point of view. I am interested in renting short term not to exceed more than a year and a 1/2.
Do you have to go home and make money as well? To maintain the tax home? Also I’ve heard you can only spend 12 months in a state in a 2 year period. Have you heard of that?
this is so helpful! I am originally from Oklahoma, and moved out to San Diego a year ago. I am attending college for the first time to get my nursing degree. My family still lives in Oklahoma, so would I still be able to list Oklahoma as my permanent home when doing the stipend? I hope my question made sense. I love California and would want to travel to different hospitals in the area but would it be possible to do it like that?
You have to duplicate expenses to get the stipend, so if you're paying rent + electricity + car payments back home, yes. If you're just listing an address, then no :)
Hi Anna! Thank you so much for making this video. I am from the DMV and am looking to do some Local Travel Assignments in my area. If you have any tips or resources, agencies or a CPA you recommend please let me know. I want to make sure I do things right. I don't need no trouble from the IRS. Lol!
This was such great information! Thanks Anna! I would love to hear more about the extra steps it takes to maintain a tax home. How often are you traveling back and forth to visit? Does your apartment just sit empty while you're gone? Who gets your mail? Do you maintain all standard utilities? How are you maintaining transportation on both sides of the country? I look forward to seeing more videos!
Question on travel stipend, if you find your lodging for less than what you are getting in stipend, does that mean you get to keep the difference? Are you allowed to do hotels or no?
You can stay wherever you want. IRS doesn't care. Some locations are super challenging so do your due diligence before you sign the contract!! Housing availability & expense can be really shocking!
Thank you so much for sharing this helpful information. I just got hired as a local travel nurse and I have so many questions about stipends! It was good timing that I found your video.
awesome video. i am in my last semester of nursing school for my bachelors... was wondering if it’s possible for a new grad to get a local travel nurse position?
I’m so impressed with you filming this all in one take. Who needs FCP? Haha. Also wanted to let you know you inspired me to get into healthcare when I discovered your TikTok! I just landed a job as a PCT in a hospital and I start nursing school next month. My long term goal is also becoming a CRNA so I’m excited to see what other content you create here on YT! Thank you for your advice 🙂
Hahahahaha thanks this is me running my mouth until I figure out video editing ! And thank you so much for sharing that with me, that’s so exciting and you’ll be an asset to the profession!
So I’d recommend working with a CPA! But generally speaking the stipend is tax free-the way they change around the pay package is making the hourly rate higher for local travelers
Hello Anna thank you for this video, I’m in my first year of uni for nursing in the UK 🇬🇧 and I’m just wondering if you know of anybody or have any information on if it’s possible for me to be able to do travel nursing in the US?
So why don't all nurses quit their regular nursing jobs and go for the money, Money, MONEY like all the travel nurses are bragging about? There have to be some major downsides to travel nursing as well.
Some ppl like routine and having a staff that knows you and will be helpful if you’re overwhelmed. I have heard some horror stories about treatment of travel nurses
Hi Anna! looking for some tips from you! I am an RN but my latest experience on the floor was about 6 years ago and I only have a year of experience. would this travel nursing be doable for me? I need an honest opinon!
What do you think of travel nursing for a new grad? I'm going to graduate in 2023 and love this option. I've heard many opinions on travel for new grads. Some say it's great because you get so much experience but others say you need more experience before you start hopping around to different hospitals. Thanks!
Traveling as a new grad is wildly unsafe and should never be done. An agency shouldn't even hire you, but if one did you would be putting your nursing license at risk. Do the 1-3 years of experience and then come join us!
Hi Anna, thank you for the wonderful video it's very informative. I'm looking into travel nursing myself but i got so many questions. The local travel nursing sounds perfect for a family man like me. Do you have a website that you can recommend to find a reputable or good agency to work with? Thanks.
May you PLEASE do a video on “capitalist medicine”… I think that’s the term I heard you mention-I think that topic and conversation is extremely important.
When you say “ask your recruiter” what does that mean? Do you mean the person posting the job or do you have an agency you work with? I’m new to all this and just curious. Thank you ☺️
Hey! Just clarifying - so regardless of where your taxed home is (at least >50 miles from contract site), if you are doubling expenses (hotel, air bnb, etc) and going to collect the tax free stipend, you are not considered a local traveler?
Hi Anna thank you so much for the very informative video. Looking into local travel nursing. I just want to ask you which agencies did you work with to go into local travel nursing in SoCal?
I don’t think anesthesia is the right choice for money alone-but it will be a good fit for me for the nature of the work. Also I’m excited to learn the art of anesthesia! Also-travel nursing rates won’t be this high forever
yay! Happy to help. I had insurance through my parents for my first 6 months travel nursing, and now I have insurance through Aya Healthcare. However if you agency hop--getting private insurance or getting healthcare from the .gov website is the way to go.
Thank you much for the information. I'm coming up on two years of ICU experience in a small hospital. I feel like I keep getting confirmations of traveling but I am a little bit scared no going to lie. Any tips?
My cousin said she didn't want to travel cause she had a very good standing at her job, loved her hospital where she was staff, did not want to leave her family for money, already didn't have debt, and she didn't want her arms to get FAT.
This answered my questions exactly! 😊
I'm so glad!

Any suggestions for me?
Can you talk about what happens when you run out of local hospitals to work? Do you just cycle back through?
How can you decrease your taxable income being that you don’t get stipends?
You can decrease your taxable income by maxing out your 401k and Roth IRA, you can go back to a hospital after a year, so you never run out!
I am in LPN school, goal is to local travel. Would I be able to staff in a hospital (they will be paying for my bridge program which is why I will stay there a little while) & local travel? Also do I have to wait a certain amount of time to local travel?
You don't *have* to wait a certain amount of time unless you're contracted to in your hospital-----agencies often won't hire nurses with

Hello 👋, how are you doing today 🥰? Greetings from San Diego
Do you mind sharing which agencies you used to find local assignments?
I'm interested in the travel nurse jobs in my local area from a landlord point of view. I am interested in renting short term not to exceed more than a year and a 1/2.
Also how long have you been a nurse?
What if I have a friend in LA that I can stay at for free but my apartment is in Maine? Can I still pocket that money?
You need to duplicate expenses to qualify for the tax free stipend
Do you have to go home and make money as well? To maintain the tax home? Also I’ve heard you can only spend 12 months in a state in a 2 year period. Have you heard of that?

I'm assuming that $200,000 is gross income and the $130,000 listed in the title of the video is your net income? Thanks
So I've made 208k this year to date pre-tax from travel nursing, but this video is talking about my pre tax income from my local travel assignment.
