Travel Nursing
Benefits
Unlike many companies, Lucida lets you customize your own compensation and benefits package. While most travel companies take a one-size-fits-all approach, we customize a generous program to provide our travelers with a first-rate combination of cash compensation and benefits. For example, you may choose to opt out of health insurance in favor of additional hourly pay.

Housing |
|
We know how important housing is while you’re on assignment. Our Housing Specialists work hard to secure free, private accommodations near your work in safe, comfortable neighborhoods. We even coordinate utility set-up and furniture delivery. We’ll even work to accommodate special requirements if you happen to travel with another healthcare professional, friend or family member.
1. Housing Options
- Free, private accommodations on most assignments
- A generous housing subsidy if you choose your own accommodations
- Free furniture, including delivery
- Free utilities and setup
- Amenities wherever possible, such as pools, spas, tennis courts, fitness facilities and clubhouses
- A community close to your workplace
- A home that's ready for you two days before your assignment begins
Lucida Housing Specialists will make you feel totally confident that all your travel details have been arranged before your assignment. We provide detailed travel itineraries, including directions, maps and points of interest along the way. For added security, our 24-hour hotline is available for any emergency situation.
2. Housing: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the housing provided in a safe area?
Yes. Our number one priority is the safety and comfort of our healthcare professionals. We make every effort to secure housing in areas recommended by the hospital or other experienced travelers.
Will laundry facilities be available?
Yes, we make every effort to supply you with your own washer and dryer.
Can I bring a pet?
We completely understand how important a pet can be. To accommodate them, let your Career Advisor know the type and weight of your pet early in the process. Although pet friendly housing is available, it may limit your choice of accommodations. Lucida pays security deposits on each rental, but the pet owner is responsible for any additional pet deposits or surcharge.
What about the phone, cable and utilities?
Lucida will set up and pay all utilities except for phone and cable. In some instances, your new housing complex will already have free basic cable. If not, our Housing Specialist will supply you with contact info for cable and phone companies in your area.
When can I move into my apartment?
You’ll be able to move into your apartment two days before starting assignment and stay two days after your assignment is complete. We want to make sure you have enough time to get settled and to make necessary arrangements upon departure.
