As a travel RN with We Care Staffing, you'll deliver direct, hands-on patient care at the bedside. That means assessing patients, developing and carrying out care plans, administering medications and treatments, documenting in the facility's EMR, and educating patients and families along the way. You'll step into an established care team as a fully contributing member from week one, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses while bringing the adaptability that makes experienced travelers so valuable to busy units.
We fill Pennsylvania RN contracts across the specialties facilities need most. That includes critical care (ICU), emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry or step-down units, along with specialty roles in labor and delivery (L&D), NICU, the operating room (OR), PACU, oncology, and behavioral health. Whatever your unit, your recruiter matches you to assignments that fit your experience rather than simply whatever happens to be open.

Pennsylvania just became dramatically easier for travelers: the state implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact in July 2025, so multistate license holders can now work at UPMC, Penn Medicine, Geisinger, and Jefferson facilities without a separate Pennsylvania license. The market is still adjusting, which makes this a smart moment to grab PA contracts.
We Care Staffing's current Pennsylvania RN contracts pay up to $2,400 per week on a 12x3 schedule with day and night shifts. A flat 3.07% state income tax, one of the lowest in the nation, sweetens the net.

Travel pay here works the way it does on most contracts: a taxable hourly wage plus tax-free housing and meal stipends for travelers with a qualifying tax home. Stipends are benchmarked to federal GSA per diem rates for the assignment location, so the same weekly number can net differently city to city; we break that down for you up front.
Pennsylvania has a flat 3.07% state income tax, one of the lowest flat rates in the country. For benchmarking: Staff RNs nationally average about $45 per hour per BLS data. Travel contracts typically exceed staff equivalents once tax-free stipends are counted, and the figures above give you the floor to negotiate from.

Pennsylvania became a full Nurse Licensure Compact member with implementation in July 2025, which means a multistate license issued by your compact home state now covers Pennsylvania practice with no separate application. If your home state is not in the compact, apply for endorsement through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. For most travelers, PA has shifted from a licensing project into a fast start.
