As the Baby Boomer population ages, the demand for medical professionals continues to increase. Many states are projected to have significant shortages of registered nurses. Currently, hospitals with shortages have turned to students, retirees, and even traveling nurses to fill the gaps.
Traveling nurses have been a hot commodity during the coronavirus pandemic. In Central Oregon, there is no exception. Although we have been growing at a rapid pace, Central Oregon is still considered a small-town area with unique housing challenges for temporary medical professionals.
The Financial Reality of Traveling Nurse Assignments
As needed as they are, it is no surprise that traveling nurse jobs are paid a higher salary. However, the higher rate of pay is said to include several additional expenses that can quickly eat into your earnings:
- Travel expenses to and from your assignment location
- Multistate nursing licenses and certification fees
- Temporary accommodations including hotels, extended stays, or apartment rentals
- Utility setup fees and deposits
- Furniture rental or purchase costs
These additional expenses quickly add up! Many traveling nurses find that traditional housing options consume a significant portion of their stipend, leaving less take-home pay than expected.
A Smarter Housing Solution for Traveling Nurses
This is where Happy Campers RV Rentals is here to help. We provide traveling nurses housing in the form of an RV rental that offers significant advantages over traditional accommodations.
Our rentals are fully furnished, competitively priced, and prepped for a restful stay. You won't need to worry about furniture, utilities setup, or long-term lease commitments.
Why RV Housing Works for Traveling Nurses
An RV rental provides flexibility that traditional housing simply cannot match. Whether your assignment is 13 weeks or 6 months, you have a comfortable, private space that's truly your own.
Our RV rental fleet includes models with full kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping areas, and living spaces. This means you can cook your own meals, maintain your own schedule, and enjoy the privacy you need after long hospital shifts.
Cost-Effective Temporary Housing
RV rentals often cost significantly less than extended-stay hotels or short-term apartment rentals in Central Oregon. You'll have all-inclusive pricing without surprise utility bills or additional fees.
Many of our traveling nurse clients find they can save hundreds of dollars per month compared to traditional housing options. Those savings add up quickly over a 3-month assignment.
Finding the Right RV for Your Assignment
We offer a variety of RV models suitable for traveling nurses. From compact Class C motorhomes to spacious Class A models, you can choose the size and amenities that fit your needs.
Consider factors like:
- Length of your assignment
- Whether you'll be traveling with a partner or pet
- Proximity to your hospital or medical facility
- Desired amenities and comfort features
