The short answer is yes.

Unfortunately, Vermont is not part of the nurse compact. Nurses are licensed in Vermont by either examination or endorsement.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and per Act 140 of the Vermont legislature, nurses are able to practice without a Vermont nursing license.

Typically, though, in order to practice in Vermont, you will need a Vermont nursing license.

The thought of getting re-licensed may seem like a headache but it’s really not. Your Trusted Nurse Staffing recruiter will walk you through the process, and you’ll even be reimbursed for any application fees.

One of the first things on your mind when you’re searching for traveling nursing jobs in Vermont is likely the pay. Earning potential for travel nursing Vermont jobs is fairly middle of the road compared to other jurisdictions.

The average pay for travel nurses in Vermont is $1,996/week. On top of your weekly pay, you’ll be eligible for housing stipends, meal and travel allowances, bonuses, and more financial perks depending on which travel nurse agency you choose to partner with.

It’s also good to note that your location in Vermont and your nursing specialty will both play a role in how much money you end up pocketing. Labor & delivery nurses, for example, will see much higher pay than medical/surgical or psychiatric specialties.

Fortunately, when it comes to finding housing while you’re on assignment as a travel nurse isn’t too hard to come by.

You typically have two options:

1. Take advantage of agency-based housing. Your travel nurse agency will arrange for your housing and cover the cost — that means you don’t have a choice in the actual location of where you’ll stay but that’s one less thing on your plate before your move.
2. Find your own housing and receive a housing stipend. It will be your job to find and secure your own housing. This could be a good option if you have family or friends in the area or if you know the location well yourself.

Even if you choose to find your own housing, you won’t be completely on your own. Your Trusted Nurse Staffing recruiter can be an invaluable resource.

Your recruiter may have additional insight based on past travel nurse’s experience in the area, and they can also connect you with other travel nurses in the area looking for roommates if you’re up for saving some money and splitting housing costs.

On March 30, 2020, the Vermont Legislature passed emergency legislation allowing individuals who typically cannot practice in Vermont the ability to practice in Vermont during the COVID-19 State of Emergency.

On July 6, 2020, Act 140 was signed, extending the emergency provisions to March 31, 2021.

If you are called on an emergency or crisis assignment to aid the COVID-19 outbreak, you can apply to the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation for a temporary Vermont nursing license.

In order to qualify, you must have a current license and be in good standing, with no disciplinary proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

With a temporary license, you will be able to practice in Vermont for 90 days or until an end to the state of emergency has been declared. Any fees typically required for licensure to practice will be waived.

The length of your Vermont travel nursing assignment can vary depending on:

1. The contract lengths your chosen travel nursing agency offers (some will only offer certain contract lengths).

And, if your assignment is a good fit for both you and our client and you’d like to call Vermont home for a bit longer, your Trusted Nurse Staffing recruiter can help you extend your contract.
