The slowdown in the economy was due in large part to the events of 9/11. With the "war" and unemployment and oil prices on the rise, many nurses who may have in the past taken on less shifts are now returning and asking for more work to compensate for possible lost income with their spouses and so forth. What this means to travel nurses I guess, is that there may be less of a need right now. But that may only be present in certain markets and is definitely not the situation nationwide. Hospitals may experience some relief, but staff nurses will notice that the pay is not comparable to those who decide to travel. There is still the opportunity to generate more income as a traveler, that will continue to be the trend for years to come. I hope this clears up any confusion to my post? Thanks for your reply!

What do "the continuing repercussions of 9/11" have to do with being a travel nurse? Or are you saying that the current slowing of the economy is due to 9/11? I’m confused. What do “the continuing repercussions of 9/11″ have to do with being a travel nurse?

Or are you saying that the current slowing of the economy is due to 9/11?
