Bookswim, another way to take a library with you on a travel nursing job
Awhile ago I posted about ebook readersand how they let you take a library with you on a travel nursing job. Which is a great idea if you are a techie person, but if you are a little more old fashioned love to hold the book in your hand, then another solution might be the one for you.
A website called BookSwim.com lets you rent books, which is great for travel nurses who don’t want to lug around a books to each assignment.
BookSwim.com basically works like Netflix. Below is their instructional overview:
| Add the books you want into your Rental Pool | No-hassle deliveries to your door | Enjoy books with NO due dates and NO late fees | Mail books back FREE! Next books sent automatically |
They have a variety of plans available depending on how big of a reader you are:
| 3 Books at a time light reader | free shipping both ways |
| 5 Books at a time casual reader | free shipping both ways |
| 7 Books at a time avid reader | free shipping both ways |
| 11 Books at a time devout reader | free shipping both ways |
| 1 Book at a time occasional reader | $3.99 S&H Free Returns |
I haven’t tried it out myself, but if you are a big reader, but don’t like packing and hauling a box of books around on your travel nursing assignment then BookSwim.com is a site you should check out.
What’s wrong with a library card?
That’s a good point, but if you don’t want to have to register for and pay for a new library card in every city you work in, then this could be an alternative. I am not aware of a nationally accepted library card. Is there one?
