Travel Registered Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a travel registered nurse in Pennsylvania?

You become a travel registered nurse in Pennsylvania by holding an active RN license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, which requires passing the NCLEX-RN exam after completing an accredited nursing program. Pennsylvania participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states can work in Pennsylvania without obtaining a separate state license. Most Pennsylvania hospitals and staffing agencies also require at least one year of recent clinical experience in your specialty before placing you on a travel contract.

How much do travel registered nurses make in Pennsylvania?

Travel registered nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire travel registered nurses in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring travel registered nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Voyage Health, American Traveler, and Milan Laser Hair Removal, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, particularly those operating multiple hospital campuses across the state, maintain consistent demand for travel nurses to cover staffing gaps in high-volume units.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most travel registered nurse jobs?

Pittsburgh, York, and Scranton have the most travel registered nurse openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia drives the largest share of listings because of its dense concentration of academic medical centers and Level I trauma hospitals, while Pittsburgh's UPMC network and Allentown's rapidly growing Lehigh Valley health corridor consistently generate openings in their own right.

How can I get hired as a travel registered nurse in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is completing a new-graduate residency program at a large Pennsylvania hospital system, such as the nurse residency programs run by Penn Medicine, UPMC, or Jefferson Health, which are designed to build competency in a specialty over roughly one year. Starting in a staff RN role on a medical-surgical or telemetry floor is the most common lateral move that later opens doors to travel contracts, since those units accept new graduates and provide the acute care hours most travel agencies require before placing you.

Where can I find and apply to travel registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
