The Travel Nurse

Travel nurse beckons you to join her. Nurses and other healthcare workers use temporary contracts to see the world or be close to family or friends.

This site is designed to give you the facts about being a travel nurse. What the requirements are, what characteristics are needed, benefits . and what to expect from your experience. You will also find a page describing the different types of jobs that exist.

Of course, its also a site about nurses and nursing so if I digress occasionally into nursing but I don't travel I hope you bear with me.

Temporary staffing began over thirty years ago during a (drum roll please) nursing shortage. It was viewed as a temporary measure and most nursing administrators were sure that no one would want to do it full time as a career. Boy, have we come a long way. Nurses are flexible, independent, intelligent, competent and most of them are very experienced. Not only did it become a permanent part of the nursing career landscape, it has become a well respected career choice for nurses.
