Hospital exec expects travel nurses to return to permanent roles in coming months (Spectrum News)

One hospital official in Ohio expects some travel nurses to transition back to permanent roles in the months ahead as lucrative travel contracts end, Spectrum News reported. “I think some of that is going to start to cool down,” Ohio State Wexner Medical Center’s chief clinical officer, Dr. Andrew Thomas, said of highly paid nurse travel contracts. “I think some people are hopefully going to come back to their routine jobs, and we’re also working really hard — anyone who is here as a traveler that we’ve brought in, we’re trying to make sure they understand the benefits of working here. Maybe they’ll sign on permanently.”
