      The three parts of compliance:  

      • Occupational health records: required immunizations and health examinations  
      • Documentation: tax forms, insurance paperwork, and licenses  
      • Testing: certifications, online trainings, and workplace safety exams  

      F.A.Q.s

      How long is a typical travel cath lab job assignment?

      Most healthcare travel assignments last around 13 weeks (about 3 months). This timeframe allows you to dive into the rhythm of a new place, make an impact, and move on to another city. Alternatively, if you love your placement, there’s always the possibility of extending your travel job even longer.

      If you’re a cath lab director, cath lab manager, cath lab nurse, cath lab technologist, cath lab tech, IR nurse, IR tech, EP nurse, EP tech, or any other position in this field, you’ll need to first collect experience before you can travel. To officially change your job title to “cath lab traveler,” you must have at least 12 months of combined total experience within your specific modality within the last three years.

      How does travel cath lab professional pay work?

      Healthcare traveler pay can be confusing, so we’re here to break it down. How much you make exactly depends on your level and field and field of expertise, the location you want to work in, the healthcare staffing agency you work with, and the hospital or healthcare facility you work in. Made up of an hourly wage, housing stipend, and travel reimbursements, your traveler salary goes beyond a weekly paycheck.

      The main portion of traveler pay packages is the hourly rate, which encompasses a bill rate (what agencies can charge a hospital for your services) and a pay rate (what you pocket per hour).

      In addition to your hourly wage, you may also receive an optional tax-free housing stipend that covers the cost of temporary accommodation. If you opt for this perk, you’ll receive a predetermined allowance for housing every week. If you don’t want to find your own housing, you can work with our housing department, and they’ll get you all set up with move-in ready housing.

      Finally, healthcare travelers are entitled to reimbursement for select travel expenses, like mileage, continued education fees, or for certifications like Basic Life Support.

      Do cath lab travelers receive benefits like health insurance?

      Whether you receive all the benefits like health insurance depends on the staffing agency you’re working with.
