Psych Travel Nursing
As mental healthcare needs increase, there is a growing demand for travel psychiatric nurses (also known as travel “psych RNs”) in treatment facilities. Psychiatric travel nurse roles are critical as they involve caring for individuals dealing with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating or substance use disorders, and dementia. As a travel psych RN, you have the opportunity to work in hospitals, clinics, schools, rehabilitation centers, and community agencies, providing a diverse range of placements to choose from.
