    Considering getting into travel nursing

    Hello,

    I'm looking for some help with getting into traveling. I just about have a year exp. in pediatric nursing (I graduated last year). My problem is a friend of mine wants to relocate as well, however she is not a nurse. So I guess I am interested in companies that offer extended assignments. The only one I can seem to find is RN Extend that are 9-12 month assignments. Are there any others? Any suggestions?

    My only stipulations about taking a 3 month assignment is if the hospital doesn't have a need when I'm done and I have to leave my friend.

    Thanks for any suggestions!:houra:

    If you even THINK you might be on an assignment for 12 months you lose your tax incentives for traveling. All of your compensation will be taxed from day one.
