For Traveling Nurses
Most travel nurse contracts run 13 weeks. Housing stipends range from about $1,000 to $3,500 a month tax-free. If you can find a long-term RV site near the hospital for $500 to $900, you keep the difference.
The challenge isn't money. It's finding a park that actually accepts a 3-month lease, sits within a reasonable commute of the medical campus, and stays quiet during the day so you can sleep after a night shift.
What to look for
- Monthly or 3-month lease terms (not weekly rolling)
- Proximity to major hospitals and medical centers
- Quiet hours that respect night-shift sleep schedules
- Pet-friendly (you're likely bringing a travel companion)
- Reliable WiFi for charting and recertifications
Practical tips
- ·Lock in the site before you accept the assignment if you can. Good long-term pads near major medical hubs fill fast.
- ·Ask specifically whether the community accepts 13-week stays. Some parks market "monthly" but actually mean 28-day minimums with weekly surcharges.
- ·Keep your stipend documentation. For tax-free treatment, you need a permanent residence elsewhere and a non-permanent work location.
