Over the years working travel nurse contracts across North America, I’ve tested dozens of tools, agencies, and services. These are the travel nurse resources I personally use and recommend to make travel nursing easier and more profitable!
Travel Nurse Agencies
These are the agencies I’ve worked with and recommend for travel nurse contracts in North America:
Travel Insurance
Healthcare Travel Insurance
When you’re taking contracts in new places, the last thing you want is to worry about healthcare coverage.
I personally use and recommend SafetyWing because it’s affordable, flexible, and built for travellers, with flexible monthly plans and worldwide protection.
Roadside Assistance
If you’re driving to contracts or traveling across provinces and states, having roadside assistance is a must. CAA covers you in both Canada and the U.S. through AAA, making it a reliable option for travel-heavy lifestyles.
I’ve personally been saved by CAA several times throughout my travel nursing career… from flat tires to missing keys, and once when an entire wheel of my truck flew off on the freeway. The membership is so affordable and the peace of mind it gives you is priceless!
Financial Tools for Cross-Border Nurses
Managing money across borders can get complicated, these tools help keep it simple!
WealthSimple for Canadian banking, USD high-interest savings, and investments.
WISE to get paid in USD, hold multiple currencies, and convert money at real exchange rates without the usual bank fees.
Tax Scrubs – your professional cross-border tax expert.
Housing for Travel Nurses
These are my go-to platforms for finding short-term furnished housing during travel nurse contracts:
Furnished Finder – a platform literally made for travel nurses.
AirBnB – message the host to inquire about a monthly discount!
