Residency requirements for travel nurses can vary depending on the specific travel nursing agency and facility policies. Generally, to qualify for travel nurse jobs, your residence should be at least 50 miles away from the facility where you'll be working. This is commonly referred to as the "50-mile rule," aimed at distinguishing travel nurses from local hires and ensuring that travel nurses are incentivized by travel stipends which compensate for housing and relocation expenses. However, it's crucial to check with the particular agency you're considering, as exceptions or different policies may apply. By abiding by these distance requirements, travel nurses can maximize the benefits of stipends and gain valuable professional experiences across diverse locations. Happy traveling!!
