By David Morrison R.N. on Jan 25, 2012 in Ask a Travel Nurse, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Career Advice, Travel Nursing Life

Ask a Travel Nurse Question: I am an experienced OR Nurse (over 35 years) and also an experienced Traveling Nurse. I have been permanent for the last three years and I am considering traveling again. I would like to know how the travel nurse industry is holding up (in our current economic situation) in terms [...]

Live here, earn more.

Being a travel nurse has its rewards, specifically in the financial department. When taking on positions as a traveling nurse you typically make more than the permanent staff nurse because of all the great benefits that accompany such assignments and “Travelers” as they are called are given paid housing, per diems and other bonuses. These [...]

If you are a travel nurse with a passion for music, the summer months can really rock. There is no better time to hit the road. With so many summer festivals and concerts all over the country it would be difficult to see them all but if you plan accordingly you can place yourself ahead [...]

Take a Vacation… On a Budget

By Patrick on Jun 29, 2009 in Life on the Road, Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Fun

I imagine that vacation means the same for anyone who works full time, week in and week out, but for some reason though, I believe vacations can mean a little more to a nurse. All year you work so hard at nursing your patients back to health and with great success, but unfortunately there can [...]

If you have ever wanted a magazine for nurses that saw you as more than a nurse, then “Scrubs: The nurse’s guide to good living” may be just want you are looking for.

By Jeff on May 14, 2009 in Nursing, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Tips

I just ran across a site that if properly used could become a huge tool for travel nurses everywhere. NurseRatings.org. I don’t know if the creator of this site, which has the tag line “Nurses helping Nurses,” meant it to be for travel nursing or just a great tool for nurses everywhere, but whatever the intent, [...]

Cheesy keychain = Appreciation? What do you think of Nurses Week?

Nurses Week is just around the corner and I thought I would share an intriguing and fun Nurses Week promotional event I have seen floating around the nursing world on the web, the Advance’s Worst Nurses Week Gift Ever contest.

Close your eyes and imagine this scenario: You have plenty of money to pay the bills each month, an 8 month savings cushion to get you through a rough patch and money set being set aside each month to contribute to your retirement. Are you dreaming or is this your reality? Sadly for many this [...]
