I am on my 6th assignment as a travel nurse. One thing you should be careful of is choosing a refresher course that is approved for your state. I was researching the Alaska license application and noticed that they don't accept "just any ole course". Med/surg, IMHO, is a great foundation for nursing. You should be prepared to work nights as a traveler the majority of the time. Yes, there are day jobs out there but they are few. And M/S, unfortunately,doesn't pay as well as some of the other specialities. You could always take another year and specialize if you want to. I believe M/S nurses work hard and deserve premium pay.. But then again I believe all nurses deserve more pay.
