  common myths (and truths) about accepting a travel allied healthcare position.

<h1>Myths</h1>

<h2>No Benefits</h2>

<div>
  Short-term jobs in other industries often don&#39;t include benefits, which is
  why people believe that taking a travel healthcare job means giving up the
  benefits that a permanent role provides. However, working with a credible
  staffing agency for travel assignments typically comes with a comprehensive
  benefits package.
</div>

<h2>Only Understaffed Poorly Managed Places Hire for Assignments</h2>

<div>
  Healthcare facilities all over the nation struggle with a shortage of
  qualified professionals. Being short-staffed isn&#39;t because they can&#39;t
  attract or retain employees - there simply aren&rsquo;t enough to go around.

    >80% of all magnet hospitals use travel healthcare professionals</a
  >, so you could work in some of the top places in the nation.
</div>

<h2>Looks Bad on Resume</h2>

<div>
  There is a misconception that only healthcare workers who can&#39;t get steady
  work would take on travel assignments, and therefore would look bad on a
  resume and affect future job searches. This fear is unfounded - hiring
  managers know that many top notch healthcare professionals prefer short-term
  work because they enjoy the change of pace or the flexible nature.
</div>

<h1>Truths</h1>

<h2>Total Control over Schedule</h2>

<div>
  You get to decide when you want to take on travel healthcare assignments, and
  how often. There is no set amount of time to wait between assignments - take
  them on as you see fit and works best for you.
</div>

<h2>Pick of Locale</h2>

<div>
  The options are endless in regards to where you can choose to work for travel
  healthcare. It is completely up to you where you want to work - if there are
  geographical locations you&#39;d like to explore, the staffing company will
  bring you assignments that fit your preferences.
</div>

<h2>Housing Provided</h2>

<div>
  You don&#39;t have to worry about the logistics of where you will be staying
  when you&#39;re on a travel assignment. If you want to minimize the stress
  that can come from finding short-term housing, housing can be provided for
  you. However, if you would like to secure your own housing, a stipend can also
  be provided to help minimize the expenses accrued during your assignment.
