The Travel Nurse
New Page 1
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.
Temporary staffing 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.
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 this type of nursing employment. For
those who stumble across this site who are not nurses there is still information
of use here. Nurses are the largest group who engage in temporary staffing.
But, other occupations also have an opportunity to travel and enjoy many of the
same benefits this type of employment.
Traveling offers a variety of benefits that make it very attractive. The
ability to travel and tour areas. See the theme parks during the off
season. Or just to enjoy the different beaches of the country. Some nurses
even travel internationally; Ireland anyone?
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 an E-zine. I feature news or articles of
interest, 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! You
can see back issues of the Journal here
