Ahead of National CNA Week (June 12-18, 2025), we’re highlighting how travel assignments allow certified nursing assistants to grow professionally while exploring new places.
Meet Alexa: Combining Passion with Adventure
Alexa from Kansas embodies the spirit of the modern travel CNA. With five years of healthcare experience, she has merged her passion for caregiving with her desire to explore new places. Since our initial interview during her first assignment in Des Moines, Iowa, she has completed multiple assignments including one in Washington state and is currently taking a well-deserved break.
“I’ve always wanted to work with babies, and I love helping people,” she said. “In the past few years, I’ve also found a love for traveling, so I started working as a CNA in high school and then realized that I could do what I love while traveling at the same time.”
For many CNAs like Alexa, travel assignments offer more than just new scenery. They provide opportunities to work in diverse healthcare settings, learn different protocols and build an impressive resume while maintaining steady income.
The Travel CNA Experience
When Alexa first sat down for this interview, she was beginning her travel CNA journey and expressed excitement about her first assignment.
“What I love the most is getting to experience different places and meeting new people. I love that I get to have a job that allows me to see new places in the U.S. and still have a steady income,” she said.
Since then, her path has taken her from Iowa to Washington, giving her the variety of experiences that make travel assignments so appealing. While she’s currently taking a break from travel work, her story illustrates how these assignments typically range from 8 to 13 weeks, allowing CNAs to immerse themselves in new communities while building valuable professional connections. Many travel CNAs discover that this diversity of experience accelerates their professional growth and expands their clinical skills.
Reflections on the Travel Experience
Looking back at Alexa’s initial travel experiences provides valuable insights for those considering this path. During her early days as a travel CNA, she shared this practical advice:
“A piece of advice I’d give to a first-time traveler would be to schedule or request in your contract to have your days or nights in a row. This especially helps when working nights because it helps my sleep schedule… but it also allows me to get out and see places that may take a couple days at a time.”
Having completed assignments in both Iowa and Washington, Alexa’s journey demonstrates how travel CNAs gain diverse clinical experience while exploring different regions of the country. Her experience shows that travel work can be both a chapter in one’s career and a foundation for future growth.

Practical Wisdom for Aspiring Travel CNAs
For those considering following in Alexa’s footsteps, her experience offers several valuable lessons:
- Strategic scheduling: Request consecutive shifts to maintain a healthy sleep schedule and maximize exploration time
- Licensing preparation: Research certification requirements for different states well in advance
- Community building: Connect with other healthcare travelers in your assignment area
- Flexibility: Be prepared for different facility protocols and regional differences
- Work-life balance: Take breaks between assignments when needed, as Alexa is currently doing
The travel CNA path offers flexibility not just in location, but also in how you structure your career journey.
A Glimpse into Future Possibilities
When asked about her future plans during the interview, Alexa shared her aspirations:
“I’m super interested in traveling to Hawaii and Alaska. I’ve actually been working on getting my licenses there so we will see how that goes,” she said. “I’d also love to go to the East Coast. I’ve been there before, and it would be really fun to work out there.”
While Alexa is currently taking time off from traveling, her journey demonstrates how the travel CNA path can evolve alongside personal and professional needs. Some CNAs travel for a season before settling into permanent positions, while others make travel work a long-term career choice, periodically taking breaks to recharge.
Begin Your Travel CNA Journey
If Alexa’s story has sparked your interest in travel CNA opportunities, we can help you take the first step. Our team connects qualified CNAs with rewarding travel assignments nationwide.

What to Bring (and Leave Behind) on Your Travel Healthcare Assignment
As a healthcare traveler, packing efficiently can make or break your experience at a new assignment. Whether you’re a travel nurse, respiratory therapist, or any other traveling healthcare professional, knowing what to bring (and what to leave behind) is essential for a smooth transition. This comprehensive healthcare traveler packing guide will help you prepare for your next adventure without overpacking or forgetting crucial items.

Before You Pack
Before diving into our packing recommendations, keep these tips in mind:
- Check with your housing provider to confirm what’s already included in your accommodations
- Connect with your recruiter about any facility-specific requirements
- Research the location’s climate for the duration of your assignment
- Consider the length of your contract when deciding how much to bring
Room Essentials
Your temporary housing is your sanctuary after long shifts. Make it comfortable with these essentials:
- Bedding for standard/queen size bed (check with housing provider for size)
- Pillow(s) from home (an overwhelming favorite “must-have” item among travelers!)
- Throw blanket(s)
- Washcloths + towels
- Area rug (for comfort and noise reduction)
- Desk/floor lamp for additional lighting
- Storage bins or collapsible organizers
- Portable fan
- Curtains or blackout shades (tension rods only if renting)
- Room decorations (photos, small plants, etc. to make it feel like home)
- Removable hooks/Command strips
- White noise machine (especially for day sleepers)
- Travel alarm clock or smart device
“Pack special ‘homey’ items like pictures, candles, and favorite blankets to combat loneliness.” — L.P., RN
Kitchen Essentials
Even if you plan to eat out frequently, having basic kitchen supplies will save money and provide comfort:
- 2-4 plates + bowls
- Cups + mugs
- Silverware set
- Basic cookware (1 pot, 1 pan)
- Cooking utensils
- Food storage containers
- Travel mug or reusable water bottle
- Reusable grocery totes
- Basic spices and cooking oils
- Coffee maker or other must-have small appliance
- Dish soap and sponge
- Dish towels
- Zip-top bags and aluminum foil
Personal Care + Supplies
Maintaining your well-being is crucial for healthcare professionals working demanding shifts:
- Toiletries/hygiene items
- First aid kit with common medications
- Prescriptions + refills (or know local pharmacy options)
- Insurance cards and medical information
- Sufficient work uniforms/scrubs
- Clothing hangers + appropriate clothing for climate
- Laundry detergent + dryer sheets
- Laundry basket or bag
- Basic cleaning supplies
- Professional license and certification documents
- Employment documents
Electronics
Stay connected and entertained during your assignment:
- Computer + accessories
- Grounded 3-prong power strip
- Surge protector/extension cords
- TV + streaming device (if not provided)
- HDMI cable
- Headphones (noise-canceling recommended for shared housing)
- Phone charger (consider extras for work bag)
- Portable battery pack
- Small Bluetooth speaker
General Preparedness
Be ready for anything your assignment might throw at you:
- Backpack or work bag
- Stethoscope and personal medical equipment
- Notebook and pens
- Professional references or pocket guides
- Portable lunch bag/cooler
- Rain jacket
- Umbrella
- Appropriate shoes for weather conditions
- Reusable water bottle
- Small emergency kit (flashlight, batteries)
- Basic tool kit
- Debit/credit cards (notify banks of travel)
- Small safe for valuables
- Local maps or travel guides
What’s Often Provided (But Confirm First)
Many furnished housing options for healthcare travelers include:
- Bed frame + mattress
- Basic furniture (couch, chairs, dining table)
- Dresser or clothing storage
- Desk or work surface
- Basic kitchen appliances (refrigerator, microwave, stove)
- Waste baskets
- Basic window coverings
- Television (in some accommodations)
“You’ll find various levels of furnished housing, but always pay attention to details,” cautions Alexa F. When searching for accommodations on platforms like Furnished Finder, she recommends knowing your must-haves ahead of time. For her, amenities like a washer, dryer, and dishwasher are essential.
What to Leave at Home
Save space and avoid potential issues by leaving these behind:
- Excessive decor or large art pieces
- Items that require permanent installation
- Valuable or irreplaceable belongings
- Large appliances
- Extensive book collections (consider e-books instead)
- Full-sized luggage (store collapsible bags instead)
- Excessive clothing (pack for the season with laundry in mind)
“Pack light and only bring essentials. You’ll be surprised by how much you can live without.” — Alex, radiologic technologist
Packing Tips
- Pack in containers that can double as storage during your assignment
- Create a digital inventory of what you brought to each assignment to refine your packing strategy over time
- Ship bulky items directly to your housing rather than transporting them
- Invest in quality multi-purpose items that serve multiple functions
- Join local buy-nothing groups for temporary items you might need
Remember that each assignment is unique, and your packing needs will evolve with experience. Start with the essentials and adjust as you learn what works best for your travel lifestyle.
