What is travel nursing?

Post by hanes »

Hello Friends, welcome to the forums.
Travel nursing is a career choice that allows you to take short-term positions across
the country. As a licensed nurse in time with a big nursing shortage you are in demand.
Hospitals and clinics are willing to pay top dollar for nurses to fill in for short periods.

Are these stable nursing jobs?
Some travel nursing jobs are meant to span just a short period where a full-time nurse

has left and a replacement has not yet been found. However, a lot of hospitals will try to

recruit a traveling nurse into a full-time position if they are happy with performance.
This puts the traveling nurse in the driver's seat - you get a guaranteed short term
position, with a good likelyhood that you can turn it into a long-term position if you are
happy with the position.

Thanks
