Get Travel Nursing Opportunities in Ontario

Finding the right travel nursing job isn’t always easy. You want a place where your skills are valued, your time is respected, and your work makes a real difference.

There is a need to fill up healthcare staff in places such as Charlottetown, Summerside in Ontario. Hospitals, group homes, and clinics in both rural and urban settings urgently need nurses like you. 

These communities rely on compassionate professionals who can adapt fast, provide consistent care, and bring relief to overworked local staff.

At Goodwill Staffing, we connect qualified nurses with rewarding travel nursing opportunities across the island, ensuring healthcare organizations maintain stability while nurses gain flexible, well-paid contracts.

Why Does Travel Nursing Matter in Ontario?

Like much of Canada, Ontario faces staffing shortages that directly impact patient care. 

Small hospitals and rural clinics often experience gaps when permanent staff take leave or when demand for care increases. 

Patients face longer wait times, and facilities struggle to maintain consistency without additional support.

Travel nursing provides the solution. Nurses who are ready to relocate temporarily bring immediate relief to facilities. Ensuring patients receive the timely, safe, and compassionate care they deserve.

For nurses, travel assignments offer competitive wages, housing support, and the opportunity to build valuable experience in diverse care settings.

Travel nursing in Ontario is about keeping healthcare accessible, supporting frontline teams, and ensuring every community has the care it needs. And that’s where we play a key role as a staffing agency.

The Benefits of Travel Nursing in Ontario

Travel nursing is a career path that blends flexibility, growth, and lifestyle advantages.

Competitive pay packages: Travel nurses in Ontario often receive higher hourly rates than permanent staff. Many assignments include housing stipends, travel allowances, or accommodation support.

Flexibility and variety: Nurses can choose contracts that align with their goals. Assignments can last from a few weeks to several months, giving nurses full control over their schedules.

Professional growth: By working across hospitals, community clinics, and long-term care homes, nurses gain broad experience that builds adaptability and confidence.

Island lifestyle: Beyond work, Ontario offers beaches, festivals, fresh seafood, and a slower pace of life. For many nurses, it is the perfect mix of professional opportunity and lifestyle experience.

In-Demand Specialties for Travel Nurses in Ontario

Travel nurses are placed across the province in multiple healthcare settings:

  • Charlottetown: Home to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the largest acute care facility in Ontario. Travel nurses support emergency, surgical, medical, and critical care units.
  • Summerside: Community hospitals and family health clinics regularly require temporary nursing coverage.
  • Rural areas: Small towns and remote communities depend on travel nurses to ensure consistent access to healthcare services.
  • Long-term care facilities: Seniors’ homes across Ontario rely on travel nurses to maintain continuity of care for residents.

Every placement is important. From acute care to community health, travel nurses keep services running smoothly across all regions of the island

Where Are Travel Nurses Needed in Ontario?

Healthcare facilities in Ontario often request travel nurses with specific skills. Some of the most in-demand roles include:

  • Emergency Room (ER) Nurses: Handling urgent and critical cases.
  • ICU Nurses: Managing patients who require intensive monitoring.
  • Medical-Surgical Nurses: Providing care for post-op and general medical patients.
  • Long-Term Care Nurses: Supporting residents in seniors’ facilities.

Ontario Travel Nursing Roles

Experience Ontario Travel Nursing

Ontario is where ocean horizons meet rolling farmland, red cliffs hug the shoreline, and local charm greets you at every turn. For travel nurses, it’s a province that offers not just peace and simplicity — but purpose, belonging, and the kind of island pace that turns a contract into a calling.

Challenges Travel Nurses Help Solve in Ontario

Ontario’s healthcare system faces unique challenges, and travel nurses are essential in addressing them.

Staff shortages: With limited numbers of permanent staff, gaps in coverage are frequent. Travel nurses step in quickly to maintain staffing levels.

Rural access: Smaller communities outside Charlottetown and Summerside often struggle to attract permanent staff. Travel nurses make sure residents in these areas receive proper care.

Seasonal demand: During peak seasons, such as summer tourism or flu season, patient volumes increase. Travel nurses provide extra coverage to manage surges.

Continuity of care: Staff leaves, retirements, or sudden absences can disrupt services. Travel nurses provide seamless coverage to prevent interruptions.

Why Do Nurses Choose Travel Nursing in Ontario?

Travel nursing is an opportunity to build a rewarding career while experiencing life in a unique province. Nurses choose Ontario for several reasons including:

  • Professional variety: Exposure to multiple care environments improves adaptability.
  • Stronger earnings: Travel packages often outpace traditional staff wages.
  • Supportive communities: Working in smaller healthcare settings means stronger teamwork and closer patient connections.
  • Lifestyle perks: Beaches, national parks, and cultural festivals make Ontario an attractive location.

For many nurses, Ontario provides a balance of career development and lifestyle enrichment.
