It gives a nurse some ability to explore the US or other countries while working as a nurse. Depending on the agency, expenses such as lodging and transportation in addition to a raised salary may be paid!! The picture to the left has more info.

Practicing in a Different Country
As confusing as nursing practice regulations may be within the 50 states, it gets more complicated abroad. Each country has their own authority over nursing and for the most part, compared to the US, most country's are unstandardized with the practice, if a NP equivalent exists. I suggest looking more into the particular country you are looking at. Under this section there are links to some resources you may consider to read.

Things to consider when emigrating as a nurse:
- What is the salary vs the cost of living?
- What is their scope of practice?
- What is their licensing authority and how do your education credits/credentials transfer?
- What is the mobility across specialties or education levels?
