Being a traveler takes some adjustment.

By Patrick on Jan 11, 2010 in Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing Tips

As a traveling nurse you already have much to adjust to. Perhaps you’re moving from east to west so you have the differing time zones which can put your sleep schedule all out of whack. Then there’s the new hours in which you’ll be working, maybe going from day to night shift and there’s also the possibility of you taking on a different role. The list is vast when it comes to making the adjustments for travel nurses. The most important of these changes is within the traveling nurse themselves.

Ask a Travel Nurse: What if I want to work during the holidays as a travel nurse?

By David Morrison R.N. on Nov 23, 2009 in Ask a Travel Nurse, Travel Nursing

Let’s face it, no one likes working on what some call the “Big Three” (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years), but we also work in a profession that does not close its doors just because of a holiday.
