Traveling employees don’t just come from industries like gas, construction, and business consulting: even some healthcare professionals travel for work. Travel nurses, registered nurses from various clinical backgrounds, are assigned to fill short-term employment gaps in hospitals and clinics around the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic drove the existing demand for travel nurses. Over 90% of respondents in a 2021 survey from Avant Healthcare Professionals said they were currently using traveling nurses to assist in the influx of COVID-19 patients from the past year, compared with 60% in 2019. A travel nurse’s stay can range from a few months to a year, meaning that a longer-term lodging option may prove to be more practical and less expensive than booking at a standard hotel rate for months at a time.
COVID-19 proved the importance and resiliency of extended-stay lodging options. Companies found that extended-stay options significantly outperformed other hotel segments throughout the pandemic. Red Lion Hotels, one of CLC Lodging’s partner hotel groups, even recently announced that it is launching a new extended-stay option.
CLC Lodging offers extended-stay hotel options and other corporate apartment solutions for travel nurses and employees who need a longer-term place to stay.
