#Travel Nursing Companies & Agencies: How to Pick the Best Company

By Crystal Gustafson, RN

From the day I got out of nursing school, I wanted to be a travel nurse. The excitement of being able to really experience a city and its culture while getting paid at the same time seemed absolutely brilliant. I met several travel nurses while working at my staff job in Denver and took every opportunity to pick their brains. I usually asked them the basic questions like who did they work for? Where did they like working the best? Did they get benefits?

I did a little of my own research but nothing too extensive; I tend to be one of those people who just jumps in thinking that I will figure things out as I go. The company I chose to go with was based on a referral from a travel nurse I worked with. She told me the housing was good, she liked her recruiter and that she would get a referral bonus.

The next day I called them up and before I knew it I was heading ... Read more »

Why get travel insurance?

Organising travel insurance is an essential part of preparing for your overseas trip. If you are uninsured, you (or your family) are personally responsible for covering any medical or other costs resulting from unexpected incidents or accidents.

You should make sure your travel insurance covers all medical expenses for injury or illness, as well as theft of valuables, damage to baggage and cancellations or interruptions to flight plans. Accidents can happen to anyone, and medical costs overseas can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Australians have faced financial hardship to cover these costs when things go wrong.

The Australian Government won't pay for your medical treatment overseas or medical evacuation to Australia or a third country. Travellers without travel insurance are personally liable for covering any medical and associated cost ... Read more »

#Travel Health Insurance: Be prepared with insurance for travel health emergencies

You may not be ready to travel

Health care costs can be expensive when you are away from home. Each year thousands of travelers literally pay the price because their current insurance plan provides little or no coverage for medical expenses outside their network or their home country.

It's a real problem for everyone but especially for those traveling outside their home country. For example, outside the U.S. Medicare does not cover any medical expenses. And in the U.S. visitors who experience illness or injury sometimes find the cost of U.S. health care so high that their family's savings is depleted after paying for medical expenses.

With travel health insurance, an accident or illness during long-planned trip or while studying abroad does not have to be a financial burden.

The following plans include travel health insurance benefits:

#Travel Keeps the Heart and Brain Healthy - Health Fitness Revolution

Studies suggest that leisure travel can boost cognitive and cardiovascular health:

Travel tops many people’s retirement goals, and it’s a given that staying healthy prolongs our ability to take active vacations. Yet research suggests that the reverse holds true as well: Travel can actually keep our brains and bodies healthier as we get older.

That’s a message that many of us are eager to hear at this time of year, when we may already be looking back wistfully at our end-of-year vacations. So it’s timely that the Global Coalition on Aging, a group of companies across various industries focused on issues related to aging, in collaboration with the U.S. Travel Association, has been circulating an analysis it conducted of the existing medical literature on travel and health.

Some members of these organizations, of course, would see their businesses benefit if more people traveled more often a ... Read more »

INTRODUCTION

Severe illness or injury abroad may result in a financial burden on travelers. Although planning for every possible contingency is impossible, travelers can reduce the cost of a medical emergency by considering the purchase of 3 types of insurance for their trip: travel insurance, travel health insurance, and medical evacuation insurance. These insurance policies can be purchased before a trip to provide coverage in the event of an illness or injury and may be of particular importance to travelers with chronic medical conditions. Basic accident or travel insurance may even be required for travelers to certain destinations.

#Travel Channel to air 12-hour road trip live, viewers set to photobomb it mercilessly - News - TV - Radio - The Independent

The Travel Channel is to provide a calmer alternative to bargain shopping on Black Friday, by screening a live 12-hour road trip through rural America.

The event will be called Slow Road Live, getting its name from the Slow TV phenomenon that is sweeping Norway.

Interestingly arriving at the time marijuana was decriminalised in the country, seven-hour train rides and 134-hour real-time cruises were watched by Norwegians in their millions.

The Travel Channel has promised to announce the route of the trip prior to broadcast, which could be disastrous.

Even if the road trip takes place out in the Arizona desert, I wouldn't put it past viewers to make the trip out there just for the opportunity to flash their genitals on national television.

#Travel insurance.

Please help improve our website. See if you qualify .

If you plan to go abroad, even on a day trip to the United States, you should purchase the best travel insurance you can afford before you leave Canada. Your travel insurance should include health, life and disability coverage that will help you avoid large expenses, such as the cost of hospitalization or medical treatment outside Canada. If you are flying, being insured for flight cancellation, trip interruption, lost luggage and document replacement will save you from major disruptions and additional costs. If you are travelling by car, make sure you have driver and vehicle coverage in case you have an accident abroad.

The Graco Travel System was a gift item my husband and I had registered for when we were expecting our first child. My sister owned one and I knew they were safe and reliable. Also, I loved the pattern we found - adorable for use with either a boy or a girl! However, had it not been a gift, I'm not sure we would have been able to afford the travel system, as it is rather pricey (for us, anyway!).
