Travel Nurse Resume Template + Career Command Center, Pay Package Calculator, Contract & License Tracker, Assignment Dashboard + Guide

Seller's description

Manage every contract, compare pay packages, organize your licenses and credentials, and build your whole travel-nursing career — in one place.

Travel nursing isn't one job search, it's a career of them: a new contract every few months, multiple state licenses, a compliance packet that has to stay current, housing in a new city, taxes that hinge on your tax home, and pay packages designed to be hard to compare. Most Etsy templates hand you a resume and wish you luck. This is a complete Travel Nurse Career Command Center that runs the entire journey — with an editable resume kit and a designed 18-page guide included.

Enter your details once. The dashboards do the rest.

★ SEE YOUR CURRENT CONTRACT AT A GLANCE

• Assignment Dashboard — your daily command deck. Mark one contract "Active" and it fills itself: facility, agency, weekly gross, estimated take-home, days remaining, % complete, next license renewal, credentials expiring, housing lease end and your next deadline — all live.
• Assignment Tracker — every contract you've ever taken in one place: agency, facility, city/state, specialty, shift, dates, weekly gross and status. Most travelers juggle years of assignments; now you can see them all.

★ KNOW WHAT AN OFFER IS REALLY WORTH

• Pay Package Calculator — the feature travelers love. Enter the taxable base, hours, housing and M&IE stipends and overtime for up to three offers and it shows your estimated weekly AND monthly take-home side by side. Compare the take-home, not the headline.
• Contract Comparison — score every offer on the 12 things that matter (take-home, stipend, location, ratios, cancellation clause, cost of living, gut feel), set your own weights, and it names your best-fit contract automatically.

★ NEVER LOSE A CONTRACT TO PAPERWORK

• License Tracker — every state license and compact (NLC) status, CE hours, renewal cycle and cost, with an auto-flag the moment one is expiring.
• Credential & Compliance Tracker — certs, physical, TB, titers, N95 fit and modules, auto-flagged so your packet is always submission-ready.
• Agency & Recruiter Log + Agency Scorecard — rate every agency (recruiter, payroll, communication, housing, compliance, extensions) and build your own rankings over the years.

★ HANDLE THE LOGISTICS LIKE A PRO

• Housing Tracker — stipend vs. agency housing, rent, deposit and lease dates for each city.
• Tax Home & Per Diem — the records checklist that keeps your stipends tax-free.
• Moving Timeline + Packing Checklist — reusable for every move, so nothing gets left behind.
• Travel Expense Tracker + Savings & Goals — track the cost of getting there, and put your travel pay to work on the goal you're chasing.
• Favorite Hospitals database — build a personal reference of the units, managers and ratios you'd go back to.

★ YOUR EDITABLE RESUME KIT (included — Word + Google Docs)

Capture the "travel nurse resume" search AND deliver ten times more value:
• ATS-Friendly Resume — single-column, built to pass agency and hospital applicant tracking systems

• Follow-Up Email Templates written for the recruiter workflow (after submission, status check, comparing offers, accept & decline)
• Letter of Interest & Resignation Letter

All pre-filled with travel-nurse examples — just replace the bracketed text.

Finding contracts · choosing agencies & recruiters · reading your pay package · negotiating pay · compact & multi-state licensing · contracts explained (the clauses to watch) · housing · taxes & your tax home · packing & moving · your first assignment · building a long travel career · plus a glossary of travel-nurse terms.

★ A CAREER HQ THAT UPDATES ITSELF

Open Career HQ and your whole search is there — applications, interviews, offers, response rate, credentials and best-fit — all pulled from your own tabs. You don't build it. It builds itself.

★ EVERYTHING, ORGANIZED INTO CLEAR SECTIONS

Job Search · Interview Prep · Professional Development · Financial · Employment · Online Presence · and a full Travel Nurse Tools section (dashboard, assignment & contract tools, pay calculator, licenses, credentials, housing, taxes, expenses, savings and more).

You type in the teal cells. The colored numbers calculate themselves. Nothing is locked.

FAQ
Q: Is this just a resume template?
A: No — it's a complete career system built for travel nurses. You get editable resume and cover-letter documents PLUS a workbook that tracks every contract, compares pay packages, and organizes your licenses, credentials, housing and taxes. A designed 18-page Travel Nurse Success Guide is included too.

Q: What does the Pay Package Calculator do?
A: You enter the taxable base rate, hours, housing and meal stipends and overtime for up to three offers, and it estimates your weekly and monthly take-home side by side — so you can compare the real value of each contract, not just the headline weekly number.

Q: What is the Contract Comparison tool?
A: You score each offer 1–10 on the factors that matter to you (take-home, stipend, location, ratios, cancellation terms and more) and set how much each one weighs. It calculates a weighted score and names your best-fit contract automatically.

Q: I'm about to take my first travel contract — is this for me?
A: Yes. The sample data shows an experienced traveler, but every tool works whether you're taking your first contract or your fifteenth. Just overtype the examples with your own.

Q: Is the resume ATS-friendly?
A: Yes — the included ATS resume is single-column and built to pass agency and hospital applicant tracking systems. There's also a styled version for recruiters, plus a guide on travel-nurse resume do's and don'ts (listing every EMR, every license, and your float flexibility).

Q: Does it handle taxes?
A: It gives you a Tax Home & Per Diem records checklist and an expense tracker to stay organized, but it is not tax advice. Travel-nurse taxes are personal and strict — always work with a travel-nurse tax professional.

Q: Do I need to be good with spreadsheets?
A: No. You type in the teal cells and everything else calculates itself. There's a How-to-Access guide, and the sample data shows you exactly how each tab works.

Q: Do I need special software?
A: Microsoft Excel and Word, OR a free Google account for Google Sheets & Docs — your choice.

Q: Can I use it on my phone?
A: Yes — once you've copied the workbook into Google Sheets it syncs to your phone, so you can update your assignments and expenses from anywhere.

Q: Will I get anything in the mail?
A: No, everything is an instant digital download.

Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. But if anything's wrong with your file, message me and I'll make it right.Created by Muse & Make Co with the help of AI tools.
