Ready for your next travel nursing assignment in Pennsylvania? RelianXR is a travel nurse recruitment agency matching RNs and LPNs to fixed-length contracts — often around 13 weeks — at Pennsylvania facilities that need coverage, from Pittsburgh's academic medical centers to regional hospitals across the state.

What a Pennsylvania travel nurse recruitment agency does for you

Travel nursing works best when the contract actually fits — the specialty, the facility, the Pennsylvania region. RelianXR's job is to understand what you're looking for and bring you assignments that match.

We also handle the parts that make travel contracts stressful on your own: pay negotiation, credentialing across Pennsylvania facilities, and confirming licensure eligibility before you commit.

Who Pennsylvania travel nursing fits

Travel and contract roles we place across Pennsylvania:

  • ICU / critical care and ER travel RNs
  • Medical-surgical & telemetry travel RNs
  • OR / perioperative travel RNs
  • Travel and contract LPNs for long-term care and rehab

RNs and LPNs looking for variety across Pennsylvania facilities, a higher-pay contract structure, or a change of scenery within the state are typically the best fit.

How our Pennsylvania travel nurse recruiters match you

  1. Tell us your license, specialty, timeline, and which Pennsylvania regions you're willing to go.
  2. We match you — a recruiter brings you Pennsylvania contract assignments that fit, and negotiates pay on your behalf.
  3. You choose — pick the assignment that's right for you, and we handle credentialing and scheduling.

Travel nursing demand across Pennsylvania right now

Travel and contract demand is strongest in critical-care, emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry specialties at Pittsburgh's and Philadelphia's major systems, where facilities rely on contract staff to cover census swings and open positions during active recruiting.

Long-term care and rehab facilities across Pennsylvania's regional markets also bring in travel and contract LPNs to cover staffing gaps, particularly where local hiring hasn't kept pace with demand.

How you can work with us in Pennsylvania

  • Travel & contract: fixed-length assignments, often around 13 weeks, at competitive rates.
  • Local contract: travel-style pay and terms at Pennsylvania facilities within commuting distance, without relocating.
  • Per diem: individual shifts if you want to sample a facility before a longer commitment.
  • Permanent: if a Pennsylvania contract turns into an offer you want to accept, we can help make that transition too.
