Considering Travel Nursing

I've paid my dues in pre-hospital(Paramedic)/ER/ Max Prison Medicine and Drug and Alcohol treatment as an RN.

I've committed to never working another night shift, and alternate avenues of medicine. I would love to travel, or be located close to the Gulf.

If anyone has experienced similar to the aforementioned please PM me or respond. I am also looking for a Travel RN agency that is reputable.
Thanks
David
  • I've met two nurses on the Alcan that were doing it. They came to Alaska during the summer for six months and then went south to warmer climes for other six months. Most of the time they were working three or four day weeks. They were enjoying it.

    You have a very good point.
  • I see the question as someone wanting to full time and work as a traveling nurse. And work specifically in the gulf area meaning staying at RV parks in that area. Seems like a very appropriate question to me.

    I still receive some rock solid advice from experienced people.

  • Wouldn’t traveling nurses get the least desirable shifts? Nights? Weekends? etc.
  • Moderator note:

    Travel nursing fits right in with full timing....
  • Seems like a strange place to get information on travel nursing. I would have done a Google search.
