Travel Therapy Contract Cancellations

April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 ~ Travel Therapy Mentor ~ Leave a comment

One of the biggest concerns for travel therapists is whether a travel therapy contract will get cancelled. While travel therapy contract cancellations are somewhat rare, unfortunately they do happen sometimes. When a travel therapist’s contract gets cancelled, it can leave the therapist in a bad situation. Maybe you already moved all the way across the country and have committed to a housing lease; you may have licensing expenses and other upfront costs that you will have the take a loss on; and you may or may not be able to immediately find a new travel therapy contract in that area. It can certainly be disruptive and a huge hassle when a travel therapy contract gets cancelled. But, there are strategies that travel therapists can use to try to avoid getting a contract cancelled, and further strategies to employ if a contract does ultimately end up getting cancelled.

Below, seasoned traveling physical therapist Laura Pilger shares her experiences with us about having contracts cancelled (both for herself and her husband and fellow Travel PT). She also shares advice from their experiences to help other travelers to both avoid contract cancellations when possible, and advice on how to deal with cancellations if they do happen.

Background

Hi there! My name is Laura and my husband is Justin. We are a travel physical therapist team who started as new grads and have been traveling for over six years. There are so many amazing reasons to be a travel therapist, however short term contracts do come with risk. Even when we sign our contracts, typically anticipated for 13 weeks, that is not a guarantee. Enter the dreaded cancellation clause. Typically the cancellation clause will be 30 days or two weeks, and it’s included in a travel contract to allow either the facility or the therapist to back out of the contract after giving the specified time notice. Most travelers would agree that one of the biggest concerns is having the facility cancel the contract and being out of a job. We spend so much time and energy searching for that next great contract, finding housing, traveling across the country, starting from scratch at a new facility, setting down some roots and making some friends, and then…

That phone call from your recruiter: “Your facility gave their notice today.”

Uh, what?

While contract cancellations are not common, I just so happen to be one of the ‘lucky’ few who have heard that dreaded phrase FIVE times throughout my traveling career. Each time provided a new learning experience and required different types of problem solving. I hope sharing my experiences can benefit you by providing strategies to try to avoid a cancellation, tips on how to handle it, and provide hope that what seems like the worst of situations can turn out to be one of the best things that could have happened to you.

My Experiences

First Cancellation

My first experience with a contract cancellation occurred just two weeks into my very first travel contract. I was working in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) who contracted out rehabilitation services to a company I will call “Company A.” Sometime between Company A hiring me as a contractor and my start date, the SNF changed rehab providers from Company A to a new company, “Company B.” Company A waited until two weeks before their contract expired to give me my notice (this contract had a two week cancellation notice). There was an option for me to potentially stay and sign a new contract with Company B, however that would require completing another interview with the new company and was dependent on whether they would agree to hire a traveler. That would require a “wait and see” approach, which I was not comfortable with. As a new grad traveler who had no experience with how to handle this situation, I panicked.

This is where having a good recruiter is key. My recruiter understood that having moved to the area two weeks ago with my husband working at a separate facility, I was not in a position to look for other contracts far away. Fortunately, we were renting a house from a family member and had a lenient housing cancellation policy, so housing was not an issue. Fortunately, within a day, my recruiter was able to find three new contract options all within an hour of where we were living. While the commutes were long, at least I had options – plural! I interviewed with my two top choices and ended up working at another SNF located 30 minutes away. This job was actually drastically better and more enjoyable than the first job. At the time, it was an extremely stressful and uncertain situation; however, in hindsight I am very thankful that everything worked out the way it did.

Second Cancellation

My next experience with a contract cancellation occurred during my third contract. I was working in a small outpatient office, which was actually operated by the same “Company A” that I started working for during my first contract. While Company A is typically known for services it provides in SNFs, it also happened to operate an outpatient clinic in California. The job was fantastic: one on one patient treatments with an hour per patient. I had a much better experience with Company A this time around — until I got that dreaded phone call from my recruiter one day while biking to work. The company was able to hire a permanent employee to fill my position. Once again, I only had a two week cancellation notice. Fortunately, at the time of my notice, I only had four weeks left in my contract, so I was going to end just two weeks short. We had a month to month lease, so housing was not an issue. My husband was also working a separate contract that also ended in four weeks, so it was not logistically an option for me to start looking for another contract without him. It seemed like my only option was to spend two weeks not working while my husband finished his contract. Fortunately, we were living in the Bay Area of California, where there are physical therapy needs everywhere. I was able to find a PRN position at a nearby SNF for full time hours to make up for my lack of work for the last two weeks.

Third Cancellation

My next experience with a cancellation occurred while searching for our fifth contract. This time around, it also included my husband Justin. We had both signed on to work at the same SNF in northern California starting early in January. Life threw us a major curve ball when we got a phone call from our recruiter on Christmas Eve that the facility canceled both of us, prior to our start date, due to hiring a permanent employee. So this put us back to square one on our job search. Fortunately, we had not found housing yet, so that was not an issue. Needless to say, we definitely had an interesting Christmas scrambling to find a new contract.

Fourth Cancellation

Following the “Christmas cancellation,” we were feeling pretty stressed and desperate to start work immediately to help pay off our student loans. This made us rush into accepting the first jobs we could find: a pair of jobs at another SNF in California. The pay was good, the start date was perfect, and there was even a completion bonus — so we accepted the contracts. In hindsight, however, this was a mistake. As I mentioned before, we were feeling stressed and desperate following our last cancellation, so we knowingly overlooked some potential red flags. We figured it would most likely be okay, and especially since everything else about the jobs met our criteria, we felt we could make it work for 13 weeks. Turns out we were wrong.

The facility was not an ideal work environment. We were now well into our fifth contracts, having worked almost two years as travelers, and this is the first time we were strongly considering giving our notice. Around this time, our caseloads were getting very low so we were also not meeting our guaranteed hours. It was the morning of Valentine’s Day when we decided we were going to give our notice to our recruiter by the end of the week. Moments later, our recruiter called notifying us that the facility was cancelling both of our contracts due to low caseload. Needless to say, we have never been more thrilled for our contracts to be canceled, especially because that meant we would get to keep our completion bonus since we didn’t put in the notice ourselves.

Our contract once again had a two week cancellation clause, and we were renting a house through AirBnB. Long term AirBnB rentals have a cancellation policy of 30 days, so we immediately modified our rental dates. Our recruiter began searching for new contracts for us. Because we were working in the Bay Area of California where there are numerous job opportunities, he was able to secure us two new positions right on the coast. We were both able to gain experience in new settings with higher paying jobs, in addition to finding new housing right on the ocean. We ended up paying for two extra weeks of housing than we needed. However, the fact that we were able to keep our completion bonus from the previous contract and ended up with two higher paying jobs, we count the “Valentines cancellation” as a win.

Fifth Cancellation

The year of 2020 brought a wave of uncertainty to the travel therapy market caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Justin and I were roughly one month into our contracts working in an inpatient rehab unit in a hospital in Southern California. As hospitals and clinics were canceling elective surgeries and people were avoiding going to emergency rooms and hospitals, our caseloads were drastically diminishing. Furthermore, because hospitals were looking to save costs anywhere they could, contract workers were one of the first to go. It was not long after the pandemic started that our supervisor apologetically informed us they were going to have to cut our contracts.

This was an unprecedented situation for us. We knew that losing these contracts would be more disastrous than previous contracts, primarily because of how poor the job market was looking due to the pandemic. We knew it would not be easy for us to find two new contracts to replace these. Furthermore, it was not certain how infectious or deadly the virus was yet. We were expecting that we would likely go months before finding something new. So this was our time to get creative.

We decided to take our chances with an unusual counter offer. We figured we would likely be without work for potentially a few months, so we decided to lay low in Southern California at our AirBnB which was on a horse ranch. We thought, if we could at least just make enough money to cover the cost of our living expenses, we would not have to touch our savings. The next day, we negotiated to work Saturday every week for the remainder of our 13 week contract. Under normal circumstances, this may not be the best solution for a contract cancellation. However, during those first few months of a developing world pandemic where toilet paper was flying off the shelves, we were able to negotiate with our company for a win-win scenario.

Understanding Contract Cancellations

Why Contracts Get Cancelled

As you may have noticed from my experiences, contracts can get cancelled for various reasons. While it is not that common, it can happen. Possible reasons for a facility cancelling contracts include:

The facility hired a permanent employee
Patient caseload is consistently too low
Change in management/hiring company is no longer providing services at the facility
World pandemic
Issues with traveler performance at work (I have not experienced this one!)

How to Protect Yourself

While there is never a 100% guarantee your contract will not get cancelled, there are certain things you can consider about a potential contract that may help you determine the relative risk of it happening to you.

Consider what company you are working for

Most of my cancellations were by larger therapy companies contracted into facilities, specifically SNFs. Hospital based positions or facilities that provide their own therapy in-house seem to have lower risk of cancellations. It is important to note that just because you are working in a SNF does not automatically mean your risk of cancellation is higher. Likewise, working a hospital based contract does not guarantee immunity from cancellation either.

Ask key questions during the interview

Helpful questions could include:

Why is the facility hiring a traveler? If the facility is hiring to cover for family medical leave or maternity leave for an employee for a specified amount of time, the likelihood of your contract getting cancelled is low. If the company is hiring a traveler to fill a need for a permanent employee vacancy, there is more opportunity for a contract cancellation if they find a permanent employee. But even if a permanent employee is hired while you are on contract, a company may not opt to cancel right away. They may keep you on for a more seamless onboarding process and to provide overlap with the new employee.
Has the facility hired travelers before? If so, for what reasons? Have they ever had to cancel a contract? Specific yes or no answers to any of these questions is not cause for concern. However, the answers to these questions may help give you a level of confidence or trust, in addition to insight into how they value you as a traveler.

Check your contract

Any well built contract includes a cancellation clause, which is typically either two weeks or 30 days in length. A 30 day cancellation notice offers more protection because short term rentals are typically month to month or include a 30 day notice option. Whether a contract includes a two week or 30 day cancellation clause is typically up to company policy, and from my experience is something that may be negotiable but not always. It’s always worth asking though if it’s possible to get the 30 day cancellation clause. But, sometimes great contracts come with only a two week cancellation notice. This is something you need to determine whether you feel comfortable with. Understand if your contract does get canceled, you will have that much less time to problem solve with only a two week notice. That being said, all of my cancellations have occurred with a two week cancellation notice, and I was able to recover with minimal loss of expenses.

Consider housing implications

We have one cardinal rule when finding housing in the travel market: always sign a lease with the expectation that you might have to move out early. You can save yourself from losing money by trying to stick to this rule. Justin and I have used three different strategies for negotiating a lease:

Sign a month to month lease. This is a best case scenario because it offers the most flexibility for ending a lease term.
Sign a short term lease with a 30 day cancellation notice. In this case, you would actually be committing to paying rent for a specified number of months. Justin and I have found that some landlords strongly prefer this type of lease because it gives them more assurance that their unit will be rented for a certain time frame. We have had success asking landlords to add a clause where we would be allowed to break our lease without penalty with a 30 day notice under the circumstance that we were to lose our jobs. Booking through AirBnB could be included in this method because all long term rentals on that platform include a 30 day cancellation policy.
Sign a long term lease that has a low lease termination fee. Sometimes there are not a lot of housing options, especially if you travel with a pet. Some apartments and landlords will only consider lease terms for 6 months or 1 year. Some of these leases might include an option for early termination for a fee equal to one month’s rent. Depending on the cost of rent, this may be a feasible option. While this is our last resort, Justin and I have opted for this with an apartment that cost $475 per month. Considering our other short term options in the area were significantly more expensive, this option actually cost us a lot less even with the early termination fee.

Under no circumstances do we sign a long term lease where we would be committed to payments for the entire lease terms, or where we are dependent on the landlord finding another tenant for the remainder of our term. That is too risky with the potential to lose out on a lot of money.

Consider your location

You can do some research or talk to your recruiter about where they are seeing the highest concentration of travel contracts for your discipline. Usually more populated areas and bigger cities tend to have a greater number of contracts available compared to rural areas. If you are working in a populated area like San Francisco and your contract gets canceled, the likelihood that you will be able to find another contract in the same area is pretty high. This means you will have less time off between jobs and may even get away with keeping your same housing. However, if you are working in a remote town, a contract cancellation will likely result in moving and taking more time off between your next contract. Of course, there are definitely many reasons to opt for a rural versus urban contract. But it is important to understand how the location of your contract will affect your planning and decision making in the event of a contract cancellation. If you choose a contract in a more rural area, try to be extra vigilant on the other factors listed here that can affect you in case of a cancellation.

Work with a trustworthy recruiter

The last thing you want to feel when your contract gets canceled is alone. Working with a reputable, experienced, and trustworthy recruiter is an essential factor to a successful and stress free travel career. First, a good and experienced recruiter is more likely to offer you opportunities with reputable companies/facilities that they have a good history with. This can improve your confidence that you are signing a solid contract. Second, you want a recruiter that will be there for you if disaster strikes. You should have confidence that he or she will be available and provide timely communication to both you and the facility. Furthermore, he or she will understand that you should now be his/her highest priority client for finding a new contract. Not all recruiters are created equal, and that is a lesson every traveler learns through experience; however, networking with other travelers is a great way to gain connections with top recruiters.

Manage your savings

Considering you are reading this as a guest post on Travel Therapy Mentor’s webpage, the concept of saving and investing is likely not new to you. So I won’t go too in depth here since they have a lot of content on finances already.

As a traveler, it is essential to maintain a solid savings account (emergency fund) that can cover you in the event of emergencies or if your contract gets canceled and you lose your job. Setting aside enough money that you could pay all of your living expenses for at least three months is a good starting point.

What To Do When Your Contract Gets Cancelled

The most important lesson I have learned from contract cancellations is this: do not make quick decisions based on emotions or desperation. It can feel scary and lonely to suddenly be back at square one, searching for a new job while in a new place, especially if you are a new traveler. Rest assured: everything will be okay. Here is a quick checklist for how to turn some bad news into an opportunity for a new adventure:

Determine your priorities. Do you want to stay in your current location or are you open to moving? If you want to stay, are you open to potentially finding PRN work to bridge the gap until your next contract or until the end of your housing lease? Do you have enough in your savings to take an impromptu staycation? Depending on your situation, you may be able to renegotiate hours just to make enough to cover living expenses until you can figure out your next contract. Be creative and do not be afraid to ask– you never know what a company will say yes to.
Talk to your recruiter and develop a plan. Let your recruiter know what your priorities are for your next contract. He or she should start working on this immediately. It’s also a great idea to have a relationship with a few different recruiters so that if you are scrambling to find a new contract, you can ask all of them in order to open up more options.
Contact your landlord. Let your landlord know what has happened and your expected move out date. There are a lot of kind people in this world, and sometimes if someone hears that you have lost your job, they may be open to modifying your move out date or potential associated fees.

Final Notes

How to set yourself up for success:

Have enough money in your savings that you could live within your means for up to three months without work if needed.
Find month to month housing, or housing with a 30 day cancellation notice, so you are not trapped in a lease without a job.
Make sure your contract has a cancellation clause to give you time to game plan if needed, preferably 30 days but at least two weeks.
Work with a recruiter whom you trust and is readily available, and have a relationship with a few backup recruiters as well.

Travel therapy contract cancellations are not common. If you are starting out, do not expect your experience to be like mine. There are many travelers out there who have never had a contract cancelled. However, be aware that there is always a risk when working in the travel healthcare industry. These experiences have taught me that flexibility is key. And even more importantly, I have found that opportunities just as good (or even better) are always just around the corner. Cancellations are just life’s way of saying: “There is something better for you out there.” Remember, life is a journey! Enjoy the ride!

Travel Healthcare with a Family

March 19, 2023March 22, 2023 ~ Travel Therapy Mentor ~ Leave a comment

We often receive questions about whether it’s feasible to travel with kids or travel with a family as a travel therapist, travel nurse, or other traveling healthcare provider. The answer is YES. absolutely! But, this will look different for different families, and there are a lot of logistics and considerations. We are excited to share Alex’s story about traveling with her husband and two young children to give you one perspective on how this travel healthcare couple has made it work!

Travel Healthcare with a Family

Hey all! My name is Alex McCoy and I am a traveling Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) nurse. I have been a nurse for eight years, and I have traveled for about five of those years. I started out using travel nursing as a way to make more money when I was the sole provider for our family while my husband, Keaton, finished physical therapy school.

Once he graduated, we were able to travel together as a couple, which was such a fun way to experience the country together. We traveled for two years and were able to coordinate Travel PT and Travel Nursing contracts together most of that time– which also allowed us to pay off debt, buy a car in cash, and save a lot of money as well!

Adding to Our Family

Around the two year mark of traveling together, we decided to start a family. I was actually on contract through the first half of my pregnancy, and then we ultimately decided to move home to be closer to family while we adjusted to parenthood. A lot of things about transitioning to permanent jobs didn’t pan out the way we had hoped– for example, I was not at mine long enough to accrue any paid maternity leave, and my insurance didn’t kick in until I was almost seven months pregnant. In hindsight, I should have probably continued a travel job until delivery simply for the better benefits and pay.

Anyway, our daughter was born late in 2019, and I was able to work a PRN job as I eased into being a working mom. And little did we know, but a global pandemic was about to wreck the entire healthcare system as we knew it. We had initially talked about going back to travel after our daughter was born, but the physical therapy market crashed in mid 2020, and the pediatric nurse job market wasn’t looking any better, so we stayed put near home for the time being.

Near the end of 2020, we got pregnant with our second, also a girl, who was born in May of 2021. We were living the iconic American dream– two adorable little girls, a nice house in a nice neighborhood, working in well-respected jobs– but we were struggling. Keeping two under two in daycare full time was going to cost us $2500 a month (this was in our home base in Kansas City, Missouri if you were wondering). Most of our call-offs and vacation days were being used to juggle days where one kid was running a fever and couldn’t go to the sitter, or the other was vomiting and needed one of us at home. Even with an incredible support system, we barely had time as a family, and all of the “perks” of working a regular job weren’t really being utilized to our benefit.

The Leap Back Into Travel

When our youngest daughter was about seven months old, I reached out to a friend of mine who had become a travel nursing recruiter. On a complete whim, I asked her for a list of travel nursing jobs that were within three to four hours of me that were paying high rates. She immediately sent me a job in St. Louis that was paying per week what I made in a month, and it was weekend-only nights.

Thus started the craziest three months of our lives. We decided to “try before you buy,” if you will. I would work Friday-Sunday nights in St. Louis, and my husband, Keaton, would work four, 10-hour days during the week at our home base in Kansas City. This meant we only needed childcare Fridays and Mondays, and I could be home with my girls four days a week.

While this arrangement was hugely beneficial from a financial standpoint, it was not a long term option. I got used to the driving pretty quickly, but Keaton and the kids would also drive up most weekends. I was still nursing my younger daughter, and it was nice to be able to see my kids for a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays when I woke up before my shift.

Hitting the Road Full Time

As my contract in St. Louis began winding down, we decided we were ready to go all-in on travel. Keaton was used to solo-parenting all weekend, so he felt a lot more confident if he had to be the stay at home parent. I was loving the freedom and flexibility that much higher pay provided us, and I was excited to not feel tied to a regular employer.

That summer we hit the road to Virginia and haven’t looked back. Thus far we have continued to have me work the contracts while Keaton keeps the kids, simply because PICU travel nursing is paying an average of $3500 a week or more, and I only have to work three days per week. We do plan to have Keaton take the next contract so he can keep up his clinical skills as well.

Transition to Full Time RV Living

Unaware that we were going to go back to full time travel, in the fall of 2021 we had purchased a pop up camper to use for road trips. If you have kids, you know how much of a chore it can be to pack for any sort of outing. The pop up camper was our solution to this. We would have most of the basic necessities stocked, and we could just pack clothes and go. The pop up would also allow us to travel more cheaply while still having a climate controlled space to use for naps and bedtimes.

We actually brought the pop up along with us to Virginia, where we stayed at a short term rental for our housing, and it was so fun for weekend beach getaways. On these trips we started discussing the idea of full time camper living.

Our housing arrangement in Virginia was great– for a couple or single person. We found a cute little house on Furnished Finder at a reasonable price. The problem was, everything “reasonable” was a one bedroom. We made it work, but it was tight. Our bedroom basically functioned as a bunk room, and the main living area felt chaotic all the time with the kids’ stuff being everywhere.

Keaton and I started doing the math and figured that even if we had to finance a truck and/or a small portion of a larger camper, we would still end up paying less than what it would cost for a two bedroom furnished rental in most places. Ultimately, we decided to purchase a used camper and newer truck.

Perks of Full Time RV Life

So far, we are really enjoying full time camper life. Our floor plan is the Keystone Bullet Premier Ultra Lite 31 BHPR. It allows us to have a full bunk room for the girls to use for their toys and things, and then Keaton and I have a small “bedroom”.

My favorite part is all of the time we spend outside as a result. Since you can’t really live in areas with extreme weather in an RV, it is typically nice enough to spend at least part of the day outside each day. Plus, when you are living in a campground, there are usually lots of places to walk and explore, and we even have a playground nearby most of the time. Plus, we just invested in a Frozen Power Wheels Jeep— so mom and dad get lots of steps while the girls drive around.

We also love that we can just close our slides and take off. On our contract in Virginia, it took several days to pack, load, and organize our stuff. Pre-kids, we could typically do it in a day, but since we can’t just power through these days, it just wasn’t that simple. In the RV, we try to do some cleaning and organizing beforehand, but we don’t have to be as perfect as when we are returning the keys to a rental unit.

Downsides of Our Lifestyle

Hands down the hardest part of being on the road full time with two small kids has been the lack of a “village” or support system. Keaton and I have been married for over seven years, but we still try to be intentional about our quality time together. Without babysitters or family nearby, we often can’t have traditional date nights or time away.

We work as a team to make sure we each get time alone to decompress or work on our own hobbies. We also always find a gym with childcare so our kids can go play while we work out, and we don’t have to worry about juggling kids and workout schedules.

The other thing we are conscious of is taking advantage of time we do have with childcare available. If we go home or have visitors on assignment, we usually ask for a few hours to get out and reconnect. We also try to plan a trip once a year to go on a trip as just the two of us.

Overall we are thankful for the time we get together as a family, but we recognize how important it is to also take time to be ourselves and make it work even while on the road!

What the Future Holds

Honestly…we aren’t sure just yet! And we’re okay with that. Continuing to travel and homeschooling our girls is always an option, but our oldest is only three, so we have some time to decide. As long as we are traveling, we plan to alternate who takes a travel job and the other one of us will stay at home with the girls.

At this point, if we continue to travel, I don’t think we will go back to short term housing. It’s so nice having our own space and not having to worry about packing each time, and I can’t see a world where we would want to give that up.

If we do decide to go all-in on continuing to travel, homeschool, and live in the RV more long term, I think we would look at upgrading our rig and truck just to have more space. We would love a fifth wheel and maybe a toy hauler space that we could use for a multipurpose room.

In the end, we are constantly thankful for the options our careers afford us. Whatever we decide to do in the future, there is always room to pivot and do what works best for us and our family!

We would like to thank Alex for sharing her story about how her and her family are making travel healthcare work for them! If you’re reading this and wondering if travel healthcare could potentially be an option for you and your family, of course there will be special considerations depending on your specific circumstances. We have definitely heard of a lot of families making travel healthcare work for them. Whether it’s a single parent with one or more children who finds childcare locally on contracts, a couple who both work, or a couple where one works and the other watches the kids. There are plenty of healthcare travelers that have either young children or school-aged children. Many of them bring their families along with them, but we have also talked to travelers who go away from home and leave their families behind, visiting often on weekends.
