Joining host Hillary O’Keefe, is Onward Healthcare’s director of corporate marketing, Steve Dobrowski. Steve and Hillary discuss a brand new resource for anyone who is considering or currently enjoying a career in travel nursing. It’s the Onward Healthcare Guide to Travel Nursing jobs.
Questions Hillary asks Steve in this Jobcast:
1. Before we dive straight into the data of this new infographic guide, I understand that this isn’t the only piece of career guidance that you offer on onwardhealthcare.com. Is that right?
2. Given that you already have all of these wonderful resources, what was the motivation behind creating this infographic guide?
3. So the first question that you asked your travel nurses across the country is, what is your main motivation when searching for a travel nursing job? 50% of the respondents said location. That’s not surprising, right?
4. And up next, the following data point. This is an interesting representation. It asks, in what age range did you take your first travel nursing job?
5. Now when asked how many travel nursing companies the respondents have worked for, the majority of them, 47.7% said 2-4. Is this a sign of flexibility in the industry for travel nurses?
6. This next data point is really interesting; 62.5% of the respondents said that they valued the free housing stipend benefit the most out of all the benefits that they received in their travel nursing career.
7. So of course your survey asked them about which social network they used the most.
8. You asked all of your survey respondents if they would recommend the travel nursing experience to a colleague and 97.7% said yes.
9. Finally, you have a data point on here that points to the average salary for a travel nursing professional to be $79,000 a year. Now that’s something I wasn’t expecting to see, to be honest. Is that higher than most registered nurses make?
10. What Hot Jobs are you currently trying to fill?
