Question 5

How do I start travel Hospice RN with Fusion Medical Staffing?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is straightforward. Apply online or connect with a Fusion recruiter who specializes in home health placements. Your dedicated recruiter will learn about your clinical background, preferred settings, and desired locations, then guide you through credentialing, licensing, and housing for a smooth transition to your first travel assignment.

Question 6

What housing arrangements are typically provided for hospice RN home health assignments?

Accepted Answer

Housing is not typically provided for hospice RN home health assignments. These roles are based in clients' homes within a specific geographic service area, allowing you to maintain your own residence. Your assignment location is determined by patient census and service territory rather than facility-based placement. This differs from travel nursing, where housing stipends or arrangements are common. As a hospice RN, you'll travel to multiple patient homes throughout your shift, so living within or near your assigned service area is important for efficiency and response time. Your recruiter can help you understand the geographic scope of available assignments.
