TRAVEL NURSING BENEFITS

Onward offers a competitive travel nursing benefits plan that provides our travel RNs with all of the "extras" you need and expect. We offer free insurance benefits, lucrative bonus programs, and the highest possible travel nursing salaries based on your level of experience. In addition, we conform to all wage and hour overtime laws and pay time and a half for working holiday shifts. We also provide pay for low census days and shift differentials on select assignments. We process payroll weekly and offer direct deposit on your first paycheck (as long as you provide us with a voided check). Please read below for some of our additional benefits.

Onward Bonus Program

Onward Healthcare offers one of the most comprehensive travel nursing bonus plans in the industry, including up to $5,000 completion bonuses for select travel assignments. These bonuses are paid upon the completion of your assignment and are detailed in your travel contract. We also offer renewal bonuses on select assignments of thirteen weeks or longer.

Onward Free Insurance Program

Onward provides a free comprehensive health benefits package to our travel professionals. As an Onward travel nurse, benefits include free medical and dental coverage, with optional coverage for your dependents available for a fee. In addition, we offer vision coverage for a small premium. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) and Professional Liability Insurance are also provided free of charge to ensure you are always covered.

Onward Free Private Housing

Onward offers free, private housing at some of the leading rental communities across the country. We employ an on-site housing team to ensure you receive quality furnished accommodations in comfortable, pleasant neighborhoods, close to your facility. In addition, you will receive a monthly stipend to supplant the cost of your utilities. If you elect not to utilize our housing, you will receive a generous monthly subsidy in addition to your standard pay.

Onward Travel Reimbursement

Onward provides all of our travel nurses with a generous tax-free travel allowance to get you to and from your new assignment. Travel is reimbursed up to a designated amount that will be explained by your recruiter and defined in your assignment agreement. The money will be transferred to you via direct deposit along with your weekly pay.

Onward Refer-A-Friend Program

Our Refer-A-Friend program is currently offering travel nursing professionals up to $500 for each referral of a professional who completes a 13-week assignment or longer.

Each bonus is payable upon completion of your referral's first assignment.
