general question for travelers

This probably seems like a silly question but, what do travelers like most about travel nursing? I'm new to it and what I like most is the ability to do my mandatories online in about half the time it takes to go to work to do them as a permanent staffer and not having to deal with the politics of the units. I wish I had done this a long time ago. I love going to work, doing my stuff and then forgetting about it when I leave and have my days off. Any thoughts? I know seeing new places is a great opportunity. I can't really speak to that as I have three school aged children and have so far confined myself to local travel.

Re: general question for travelers

I like traveling a lot. I get mini vacations during my off days. If I hate a hospital, it eventually comes to an end and then never go back. I also review the hospital so other travelers can know what my experiences were. Check out travelnursingcentral.com

Re: general question for travelers

Well I know some people travel for money - which is fine some of the time, yes you will get great paying jobs here and there but don't get stuck on being a high dollar traveler - I like to travel for the sites and to be able to see places I normally wouldn't see even if it is a small town in NC or IA meeting new friends along the way is also a great reward and maybe we will cross paths later.

I have been traveling for quite some time, I know the bigger companies are not always good at getting back to you at least that is my experience. I have recently neen talking to a recruiter at RTG Medical and they have great locations across the US and are great with getting back to me on questions I have. I would be more then happy to give you her information, just email me and I can get that to you !!

Welcome to traveling and if you have anymore questions please let me know !!
