As a healthcare traveler, adventure is your middle name! There are so many opportunities to enrich your travel journey while on assignment, and what better way than to earn some extra cash! Whether you are looking to pursue a passion, meet new people, dive deeper into your new home, or simply boost your income, having a side gig can add the perfect twist to your travel experience. These 5 side hustles offer a unique opportunity to explore more about yourself and have some fun while on the journey of healthcare travelling!
1. Start an Etsy Shop
Are you a true creative at heart? Maybe you have an eye for jewelry making, digital art design, knitting, embroidery, woodwork – the possibilities are endless! If so, an Etsy shop is the perfect opportunity to showcase your talents and sell your creations for others to enjoy your work. Etsy offers the flexibility necessary for healthcare travelers, and the perfect outlet to embark on between shifts!
2. Join the LRS Healthcare Social Media Ambassador Program
LRS has our very own Social Media Ambassador Program that is a perfect side hustle for passionate healthcare travelers like yourself! The LRS Social Media Ambassador Program allows travelers the chance to express their passion for the healthcare traveler lifestyle, share unique stories, and grow your reach and following. As an ambassador, you’ll represent the LRS brand and use your platform to showcase the incredible opportunities available as a healthcare traveler. Being an ambassador is a fun and easy way to grow your network, share your story, and earn some extra spending money!
3. Become a Dog Walker
Do you love animals and have some time in between shifts? Dog walking is a real opportunity to get paid while enjoying time with some furry friends! Join platforms such as Rover and Wag! and connect with pet owners around your neighborhood and at your facility who need reliable pet care. Not only does dog walking earn you some extra cash, but you also will explore your new neighborhood, enjoy a break, and get some much-needed puppy love!
4. Become a Tutor
You’re the expert here! If you’ve found yourself skilled in a specific subject or even medical understanding, tutoring can be the perfect opportunity to share your knowledge in a rewarding way. You can apply to become a tutor on platforms like Preply and VIPKID, and they will connect you with a network of learners! Sign up to be a tutor and work flexible hours, make an impact on the knowledge of others, and do it all from the comfort of your new home!
5. Create a Blog
As a healthcare traveler, your experiences, insights, and stories are endless and could resonate with many others! If you find yourself enjoying writing or journaling, starting a blog may be your perfect side hustle. Outside of your healthcare travel experience, you could write about general travel tips or reviews for local restaurants and businesses. You could start your own website blog or become a member with Medium, and publish your stories, ideas, and perspectives there. An added bonus to this side gig, you gain your own personal journal to look back on someday!
