FAQ
Travel PMHNP Questions
What is a Travel PMHNP?
A PMHNP who takes temporary assignments at healthcare facilities across the country, usually through staffing agencies. Assignment lengths range from a few days to many months.
What is the pay like?
Travel roles often advertise premium pay compared to permanent positions, plus travel and lodging support. Lodging and meal stipends are tax-free only for agency employees paid on a W-2 under an accountable plan; independent contractors paid on a 1099 report them as income and deduct qualifying travel costs.
Is housing provided?
Often. Many agencies arrange furnished housing or pay a housing stipend. Ask whether lodging is provided or paid, and how the payment is taxed.
Do I need multi-state licenses?
You need an APRN license in each state where you practice, and many agencies help with licensure. The Nurse Licensure Compact covers RN licenses only, so it gives no APRN practice authority.
How long are typical assignments?
It varies by agency and facility, from a few days to many months. Some assignments are extended when the facility and provider are a good fit.
