Being a traveling nurse just makes cents!

By Patrick on Mar 08, 2010 in Featured, Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nurse Finances, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Benefits, Travel Nursing Life

The benefits of a travel nurse far out weight that of being a perm nurse, at least in my eyes. Of course it takes a certain personality to be able to carve a successful career out of being a traveling nurse and for some, being stationary is exactly what they want to do. However, if given the opportunity to take my skills on the road for 13 weeks at a time all the while receiving paid housing, insurance, per diems, etc. you can bet your sweet bippy I’d be the first to sign up. There are numerous benefits to a traveling career that one can take advantage of to secure themselves, vocationally and financially.

It is better to travel alone than with a bad companion.

By Patrick on Mar 01, 2010 in Featured, Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Career Advice, Travel Nursing Fun

The day you decide to go forth as a traveling nurse is a monumental one. You’re saying, “Bring it on!” You’re ready to take on the unknown with little or no help, you’re a loner, a rebel. You are a special breed and there are just a few of you who are able to do so. It may be less lonely to travel with friend but it can prove to be a better experience doing it alone. Being content when you’re all by yourself is not about keeping yourself occupied until the next social engagement.

Everyone Needs a (Spring) Break

By Patrick on Feb 22, 2010 in Featured, Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Fun

As a traveling nurse you have a greater chance at experiencing fatigue. Besides the normal workload of nurse, you a have the added stress of finding a new assignment every 13 weeks or so and on top of that, getting to your new traveling nurse job. There’s the packing, organizing, traveling and everything in between. Then you work tirelessly for 10-12 hours at a time every week. You’re on your feet constantly and you must be ready at all times to tackle whatever comes your way, no matter how you feel. All these elements can make a traveling nurse’s life seem pretty harried and the one thing that can wipe all that away is sunshine, beaches and a drink with a little umbrella in it – that’s right we’re talking vacation!
