Trade the 13-week grind for a quieter kind of assignment.
Earn top pay caring for one patient in a peaceful Avimor home—with a furnished private studio on the property and the entire Treasure Valley outdoors at your doorstep. The breather assignment between travel contracts.
One patient. One quiet home. Competitive pay. Endless outdoors.
Travel nursing is a grind of back-to-back 13-week contracts, float pools, and unfamiliar charting systems. This is something different: one consistent patient in one calm home, real continuity of care, and a private furnished studio steps from where you work—so your days off actually feel like days off.
- $58.72/hour, up to 40 hours weekly
- Negotiable, flexible scheduling—build it around your life
- A furnished studio with a separate entrance on the property
- A base camp for exploring Idaho, not just another contract
The whole Treasure Valley is your weekend.
No call lights. No float pool. No end-of-contract burnout. When your shift is done, you're already home—and the Idaho outdoors is waiting. Here's what's within reach on your days off.
Bogus Basin
25 minutesYour local mountain—right over the ridge. Ski, snowboard, and tube all winter; hike and mountain bike the trails all summer. Season passes are affordable and it's the easiest possible après-work mountain fix.
McCall & Payette Lake
2 hours northA classic Idaho summer escape. Glacial blue water, Ponderosa State Park, the Winter Carnival, and quiet mountain-town charm. Perfect for a string of days off between assignment blocks.
Yellowstone & Grand Teton
5 hours eastTwo of America's grandest national parks are an easy road trip away. Plan a long weekend for geysers, wildlife, and the Tetons rising straight out of Jackson Hole.
Avimor Trails & Foothills
Out your front doorMiles of walking and biking trails leave directly from the community. The foothills become your backyard—morning walks before a shift, sunset rides after.
Four seasons of outdoor living.
From the foothills to the high desert, from alpine lakes to desert rivers—the Treasure Valley is built for people who'd rather be outside. Here's a taste of what's around you.
Ridge to Rivers Trail System
250+ miles of interconnected foothills trails for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking—minutes from the front door.
Boise River & Greenbelt
Float the river, fish, or walk the 25-mile Greenbelt through the heart of Boise. It's the Treasure Valley's backyard playground.
Camel's Back & Table Rock
Iconic Boise hikes with sunrise views over the whole valley. A favorite before-shift or after-shift ritual.
Downtown Boise & Boise River
A vibrant downtown with great restaurants, breweries, the farmers market, and seasonal events—just 20 minutes south.
Lucky Peak & Lake Cascade
Boating, paddleboarding, and lakeside picnics. Lucky Peak is 30 minutes away; Lake Cascade is a scenic hour-and-a-half drive.
Sun Valley & Sawtooths
World-class mountain town living—Redfish Lake, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, and Sun Valley Resort. An easy weekend getaway.

W-2 employment with half your taxes paid by the employer—so no self-employment tax to wrestle with. Real pay, real continuity, and a genuine home base in the foothills.
Why isn't housing included?
Most travel assignments split your compensation two ways: taxable wages (which tend to be modest) and a non-taxable living stipend—and then, just like any other job, you have to go find and pay for your own housing out of those total earnings.
Here, it works a little differently. The wages are highly competitive—above the 90th percentile for Idaho's low cost of living—so the bulk of your compensation comes straight to you as pay. Housing is rented under a separate residential lease for $1,800/month with a $1,000 deposit and all utilities included. No nickel and diming, no additional fees—that's it.
There are two honest reasons it's set up this way. First, the state compensation package that funds Lucy's care doesn't allow supplemental in-kind income to be provided alongside wages. Second, Lucy is the employer—but she doesn't own the property, so she couldn't offer housing as compensation even if she wanted to.
The upside for you: transparent, top-of-the-line pay with no tax-home gymnastics, and a beautiful furnished studio where the rent is simple, all-inclusive, and yours to budget on your own terms.
Your next chapter starts here.
If you're a travel nurse ready to slow down between contracts—or trade the grind for something quieter—this is your assignment.
