Pediatric settings in travel
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 10:20 pm
Hi all, I've worked in permanent peds positions for a few years and am considering travel PT. Wondering if anyone out there has pediatric experience with traveling:
1. I like the idea of a year-long (well, 10 months or so for the school year) school contract, just to make life a little simpler and minimizing moving quite so frequently. Are these opportunities few and far between, or are school positions more plentiful?
2. Would anyone be willing to share what kind of pay could be expected for a travel school position? I understand this will range with location/experience, but just a ballpark figure would be helpful. I've worked for three years and have my PCS. I'm not sure if the longer contract would increase or decrease the pay compared to a more typical 13-week contract.
3. Since there are breaks built into the school year, does anyone know if that time would be unpaid or if the contract would include pay for those times?
Thanks!
