This site is designed to give you the facts about being a travel nurse. What the requirements are, what characteristics are needed, benefits , and what to expect from your experience. You will also find a page describing the different types of travel nurse jobs that exist.

Of course, its also a site about nurses and nursing so if I digress occasionally into nursing but I don't travel I hope you bear with me.

Traveling began over twenty years ago during a (drum roll please) nursing shortage. It was viewed as a temporary measure and most nursing administrators were sure that no one would want to do it full time as a career.

Boy, have we come a long way. Travel nurses are flexible, independent, intelligent, competent and most of them are very experienced. Not only did it become a permanent part of the nursing career landscape, it has become a well respected career choice for nurses.

This site is not another travel agency recruiting site. I am not affiliated with any of the agency sites. I designed this site so nurses could be educated about the advantages and benefits of travel nursing.

And for those of you who enjoy reading online journals or blogs I have created The Travel Nurse Blog.  A place where I post ideas, travel information, nurse agency reviews and nursing news as I find it.

I also publish The Travel Nurse Journal. I feature news or articles of interest, travel nurse tips and techniques, featured sites and nursing history in each issue.  Currently, the publishing schedule is a bit irregular but its well worth reading.  So subscribe now...Its Free!
