What kinds of assignments does Lucid offer?

We place travel nurses, allied health professionals, and medical technologists across the country. Assignments vary from short-term to long-term, based on your goals.

How soon can I start working?

Once your credentials are verified, you may begin within one to two weeks, depending on the facility's timeline and your availability.

Do I get to choose where I work?

Yes. You will work one-on-one with a recruiter to select assignments that align with your specialty, location preferences, and lifestyle.

What benefits are included?

We offer competitive pay, weekly direct deposit, health insurance, 4% 401(k) match, housing and rental car discounts, and housing stipends. As clinicians ourselves, we prioritize your well-being.

What support do I get during an assignment?

You will have consistent access to your recruiter and 24/7 support for urgent needs throughout your assignment.

How Much experience do I need to become a healthcare traveler?

Typically, at least one year of experience in your specialty is helpful. However, required experience levels differ by assignment.

Can I choose where I travel?

With Lucid Staffing, you have total control over your career. You can choose the state, and you can choose between city, suburb, or rural settings. You can choose between mountains or beaches or prairies. We’ll help you get there.

What kind of facilities would I be working in?

We work with a wide spectrum of facility types, including both large teaching hospitals and small community hospitals, surgery centers, outpatient clinics, and more.

Do I need to be licensed in the state I’m traveling to?

Each state has its own licensing rules depending on your profession and specialty. As a clinician-led agency, Lucid provides personalized, 1-on-1 support for each state’s process and reimburses you for the cost of obtaining new licenses.

Where do I stay while on assignment?

Lucid Staffing provides you with a stipend for housing. This allows you complete flexibility to stay in the place of your choice, whether that’s a rental apartment, an Airbnb, or even with a local friend. Stipends are tax-free, and we’ll help make suggestions if you need them.

How much money can I make as a healthcare traveler?

Lucid Staffing is committed to providing the highest competitive rates in the industry. We know how critical your talent is and how demanding the job can be. You deserve to be highly compensated. Travel healthcare is generally far more lucrative than permanent staff positions.

How do I get paid?

With Lucid Staffing, you’ll be a W-2 employee, which means we’ll take care of your taxes, providing you with the best benefits, and paying the highest competitive rates in the travel healthcare industry. You’ll see your paycheck direct-deposited into your bank account every week.

How long do travel assignments last?

Assignments are typically 13-weeks long, but can vary depending on the needs of the facility or the traveler. Extensions are also very common! You will also have the freedom to choose an assignment with your preferred schedule, shifts, and hours, giving you full control over your career.

What happens after an assignment is finished?

Lucid Staffing will stay connected with you throughout your assignment, and there are a variety of scenarios that can happen. The client may wish to extend the assignment, and you’re welcome to stay or leave. Or, we can help you find a new facility and location to get you a change of scenery. You are also welcome to take time off in between assignments—that’s where you have total control over your career.

Can I travel with my partner (and/or pet)?

Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome to travel with your significant other and/or your four-legged bestie.

What Health Insurance Plans do you offer?

Lucid offers really great Health Insurance plans covering Medical, Dental, and Vision. We provide four different Health options to choose from, depending on your preferences.

For Employers

We staff a wide range of positions including Nursing, Allied health professionals, Interim management, and non-clinical roles.

How fast can you staff a position?

In many cases, we can present qualified candidates within 24 to 72 hours, depending on the role and credentialing requirements.

 What makes Lucid different?


Lucid is clinician-owned, clinician-led, and imaging-focused. Unlike traditional staffing agencies, our recruiters and account managers are licensed healthcare professionals who understand the roles they’re hiring for—because they’ve done them.

This allows us to deliver faster fill times, better-fit candidates, and stronger retention. Our model is built on clinical insight, personal attention, and a commitment to doing staffing the right way.

Do you handle compliance and onboarding?

Yes. We manage the entire credentialing process including licensing, compliance, health & background checks, and onboarding so your team can stay focused on patient care.
