It’s undeniable that demand for travel nurses has fallen since its pandemic peak, when hospitals paid top dollar for temporary staff as patient numbers soared and swaths of workers fell ill. Now, though, the numbers tell a different story. After growing more than sixfold from $6.5 billion in 2019 to $42.7 billion in 2022, the travel nursing market shrank 40% to $25.6 billion in 2023, according to a June report by research and advisory firm Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA). Throughout 2023, headline after headline reported downsizing at companies built for travel nurses, and pay shrank, with the average bill rate down from $133.47 in 2022 to $106.78, SIA found. The question arises: What does travel nursing’s future look like? Staffing agencies and healthcare experts say the industry was growing even before the pandemic, and though it has fallen from pandemic levels, it’s worth more than it was before. They predict travel nursing has a strong future in a normal market. #nursing #nurse #nurses #travelnurses #hopsital #patientcare #healthcarebusiness
