Procare USA provides private, single or family status, furnished accommodation for the duration of your Alaska travel nursing assignment. Single occupant private housing is free for our Alaska travel nurses. We arrange and pay rent, security deposit and utilities while you arrange and pay for telephone, cable and security deposit for pets (if applicable). There are moderate housing charges for additional bedrooms, furniture, house wares and linens. Check-in is generally permitted on the Friday prior to the start of your Alaska travel nurse job. Checkout is Monday at noon following completion of your final workweek. A monthly housing allowance may be paid if arrangements for a Alaska travel nurse are not required.
Procare USA offers competitive hourly rates for Alaska travel nurses. Time-and-one-half (or double) the base hourly rate is generally paid to travel nurses for overtime, holiday, or callback hours. Differentials are commonly paid for charge or supervisory roles and when placed on-call for many Alaska travel nurse jobs. Free direct deposit is available and payroll is paid biweekly.
A Alaska travel nurse working for Procare USA is eligible for our 401k plan with company match and immediate vesting. A range of investment options is provided, giving you the opportunity to spread your investment among different categories within our plan. Procare USA also pays 100% of the premium cost for group medical, dental and term life insurance for our Alaska travel nurses. Affordable dependent care coverage is also available. Group Term Life insurance will be provided for each Alaska travel nurse regardless of medical and dental plan participation, at no cost to the nurse. The eligibility for Procare’s benefits plans is the first of the calendar month following thirty days of employment.
Travel nursing can be a rewarding experience for nurses who have strong clinical skills and want to travel to states like Alaska. Usually to work as a Alaska travel nurse, you need at least one year of hospital work experience as a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. Alaska hospitals require travel nurses to hit the unit running with little orientation. In addition, Alaska travel nurses may be asked to float to other units where they have work experience.
