Your next career adventure is waiting.
Let’s go!

Achieving a work-life balance can be tough for nurses working long shifts. Travel nursing opens up a world of new possibilities.

For many nurses, landing a full-time position is a major milestone. But over time, the routine can feel repetitive—same unit, same schedule, with limited flexibility and time off. It’s easy to feel stuck.

Travel nursing offers a chance to break free.

Explore new locations, expand your skills, earn competitive pay, and create a schedule that works for you. It’s your career, your way.

Why choose Northern med?

I’ve fallen back in love with nursing, life, and myself!

"Travel nursing has changed my life. I too was burnt out. I love nursing, but sometimes a change in scenery, exceptional wages, amazing staff and travel nurses really make the difference. I’ve fallen back in love with nursing, life, and myself. I’ve met lifelong best friends all over Canada; fellow travel nurses and staff nurses. I’m in a community that lifts you up, supports you, and encourages you to reach your dreams. NMC is founded by nurses, made for nurses and encourages you to step outside your comfort zone and soar. I strongly recommend NMC! I’ve had the opportunity to nurse all over Canada, and worked in surgery, medicine, trauma, emergency, day surgery, rehab, and more. My critical thinking skills and experience have directly saved lives and that feels incredible. Travel nursing gives me the opportunity to work hard and also gives me the lifestyle to visit my family, fly back home for weddings, road trip to Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick and go to Boston and Florida all on contract. The greatest adventure is to live the life you’ve always dreamed of. What are you waiting for? Let’s go byyys” #DontBurnOutBurnBright
