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!
