The Decision to Become Travelers

By Keith Bishop on Jan 20, 2012 in Guest Author: Keith Bishop, Life on the Road, Travel Nursing Career Advice, Travel Nursing Questions

Nursing, unlike other professions, makes it easy to jump in the water. I believe that once your circumstances and curiosity becomes greater than your fear of the unknown, you will begin looking for a contract. We did and do not regret the decision. 2012 will be a big year for us. We have started a [...]

Protect Yourself and Your Patients from Charting Errors

By Patrick on Mar 22, 2010 in Nursing, Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Career Advice

I can’t imagine the level of attention to detail a traveling nurse must have, day in and day out. With little room for mistakes, a nurse must continually be alert and ready for action at any given notice and this is especially true since they are given little time to adapt to the new facilities during their various traveling assignments. How you prepare and react to any given situation is a direct reflection of the type of nurse you may be. One determining factor on just how prepared a nurse may be is in how a nurse completes their charting and documentation.

Everyone Needs a (Spring) Break

By Patrick on Feb 22, 2010 in Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Fun

As a traveling nurse you have a greater chance at experiencing fatigue. Besides the normal workload of nurse, you a have the added stress of finding a new assignment every 13 weeks or so and on top of that, getting to your new traveling nurse job. There’s the packing, organizing, traveling and everything in between. Then you work tirelessly for 10-12 hours at a time every week. You’re on your feet constantly and you must be ready at all times to tackle whatever comes your way, no matter how you feel. All these elements can make a traveling nurse’s life seem pretty harried and the one thing that can wipe all that away is sunshine, beaches and a drink with a little umbrella in it – that’s right we’re talking vacation!

Ask a Travel Nurse: How can I help in Haiti?

By David Morrison R.N. on Jan 18, 2010 in Ask a Travel Nurse, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Career Advice, Travel Nursing Questions

Last week I mentioned that this week we would be discussing how to get around while on a travel assignment. However, I wanted to postpone that discussion for another week due to a question that I received a few days ago in regard to Haiti. A traveler contacted and asked if I knew of any [...]

Dealing with that annoying co-worker.

By Patrick on Oct 19, 2009 in Patrick's Travel Nursing Posts, Travel Nursing, Travel Nursing Tips

Hopefully this hasn’t happened to you while you’re on a travel nursing assignment, but have you ever had to work along side a fellow nurse who just drives you batty and you find yourself at the end of the shift saying, “Calgon, take me away!” Yeah, it happens… Because nobody’s as perfect as you. Right? [...]
