Are travel nurse freezes a growing trend?

[Nicole Heasley Beitenman]

I have a one-bedroom house I was planning on putting on Furnished Finder after the holidays. At a recent REI meetup, a fellow investor and ER doctor said his company is putting a freeze on travel nurses because of the cost. We were hoping to turn our other current rental and any future rentals into mid-term housing, but his feedback gave us pause. Are these kinds of freezes a growing trend in the healthcare industry?

I love what Conner and Mike said, but I also think its important to remember travel nurses are not your only renter! Stick with the MTR and get on airbnb, vrbo and FF. I am a travel nurse and your post is the first I have heard of a travel nurse freeze, and I will tell you the staffing at the hospitals I have worked at over the past year need help more than ever as many nurses are leaving the workforce due to burnout from the past 2-3 years. We have a 300k national shortage of nurses. Hospitals cant just decide to "not hire travel nurses" if they have no staff. It also depends greatly on where you are located and the number of hospitals around you. The more hospitals there are, the more nurses they need, the more travel nurses they also need. Best of luck!
