Travel nursing is an increasingly popular career path for nurses looking to get paid more, explore new destinations, or simply gain experience in new working environments.
Here are just a few of the many reasons why travel nurses prefer to work with Prolink.
1. The best compensation packages
For many nurses, pay is a large factor in the decision to start traveling. Finding the best-paying travel nursing jobs, though, can be a challenge. That’s why Prolink’s dedicated team of travel nursing recruiters works with each of our candidates to maximize their earnings with each and every contract.
When it comes to travel nursing pay, weekly salary isn’t everything. That’s why we factor in important compensation details like housing stipends and cost of living to maximize how much you will take home at the end of your assignment. We do the legwork for you, so all you have to do is enjoy the better pay and benefits you’ll receive from travel nursing.
Here’s what our clinicians told us about our pay and benefits (via ClearlyRated):
“The contracts offer the best money in the market and the recruiters are top notch!”
-Morgan N., ICU Nurse
“I never had to fight for my pay. The pay was fair and better than the competition.”
-Anonymous
2. A dedicated, supportive Clinical Team
At Prolink, we have an entire team of nursing experts dedicated to serving and supporting you. Our Clinical Team is divided into Talent Experience and Professional Practice divisions, and ensures you have all the resources you need, both for your assignment today and to develop your skills for tomorrow.
Our Clinical Team provides:
- Recognition and awards programs, like the DAISY award
- Training and professional development programs
- Real-time assistance for travelers on assignment
The team is always expanding their capabilities and finding new ways to support and enhance the experience of Prolink travelers.
3. Free mental health resources
Prolink offers complimentary resources to support the mental well-being of our clinicians. These include:
- A MetLife Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) that provides free legal, personal, and financial assistance
- Free video counseling with licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists
- Courses and coaching in a self-paced, online environment for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and more
These resources are provided in addition to the support offered by our Clinical Team and any services offered through the hospital itself.
4. Tuition discounts
Through Prolink’s partnership with Capella University, qualifying nurses and their immediate family members can receive a 10% tuition discount on the Capella degree program of their choice. Capella’s catalog includes:
- 47 degree programs
- 89 specializations
- 1,670 courses
Capella offers two learning formats: FlexPath, which provides students with flexibility to pursue their degree while working, and GuidedPath, which appeals to students who prefer a more traditional approach. Both tracks meet the needs of those who may not be able to attend a campus-based program.

5. 401k enrollment from day one
Travel nursing with Prolink means retaining the comforts of a full-time position, including complimentary retirement planning. As a contracted employee, the ability to contribute to a retirement account isn’t always a given. Our nurses can contribute to a 401k from the very first day of their assignment, with an employer match kicking in after service and plan requirements are met.
The best experience for travel nurses
Prolink provides a world-class experience for each and every nurse we work with, whether they’re looking for a 10-week travel assignment or a permanent role for the next 10-plus years. Our recruiters love to go the extra mile for our nurses and make sure they feel enabled to give the best care possible.
