Travel Nursing: The Good and Bad!

If you ever thought about travel nursing be cautious about which company you choose.  Not all travel nurse companies are equal.  One of the best tips I can give you is to consult a former travel nurse.  The tricky thing about a travel nurse recruiter is that many are pressured to meet a sales quota.  Even more scary is that their training is usually very poor when it comes to understanding nursing and the challenges involved in being a travel nurse.  Many care about the bottom line and that means earning the sale which is you the travel nurse working for them.

Always ask each company that you want to work with a nurse you can speak too.  That way this nurse can tell you the good and bad about their company and assigment.  The last thing you want to deal with is starting a travel nurse assignment that is just bad.  

Working as a former travel nurse recruiter and travel nurse it is my desire to educate you on making the most informed decisions possible.
