Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become an HGI Healthcare traveler?

In order to get started, we recommend that you complete our on-line application and proficiency skills checklists. This will help us determine your technical ability and professional background to ensure a strong candidate-facility match. HGI Healthcare will also be happy to mail a free packet of information to you for your review. Or, just call us directly for the personal one-on-one attention you deserve.

What are the minimum requirements to become a traveler?

To become a traveler, you must be a graduate of an accredited program in the United States, and have a minimum of one (1) year of experience. However, HGI Healthcare also offers a New Graduate Program for healthcare professionals that have less than one (1) year of experience. Also, professional licensure/registry/certification is a requirement of our client facilities.

How long are travel assignments?

Standard temporary assignments are 13-weeks. However, we may be able to customize the length of your assignment anywhere from 4 weeks to one year to meet your needs.

What types of assignments are available?

HGI Healthcare works with many different types of healthcare facilities. They range from Level I Trauma Centers to Community Based Hospitals, from Outpatient settings to Nursing Homes. HGI Healthcare is committed to working with our healthcare professionals, and placing them in a clinical setting that best matches their background, expertise and desire.

How much can I make?

It depends on how much you want to work. Our traveling healthcare professionals can typically make the same amount of money in about two-thirds the time, so you can experience the wealth or freedom you deserve.

What type of housing do you provide?

HGI Healthcare offers one bedroom fully furnished apartments which may include everything from pots and pans to linens-just pack a suitcase and everything else will be provided. However, if short-term corporate housing is not available where you will be traveling, we will place you in an extended stay or hotel with microwave and refrigerator.

What kind of person makes the best traveler?

A person with a positive attitude who is flexible with our client facilities' needs and a person who is open to exploring new places and exciting adventures is an ideal traveler.
