Why be a regular nurse, when you can expand your horizon and be a travel nurse? A Travel nurse is a nurse that obviously travels, but it’s not a vacation. These nurses actually have to get to work. They work at a medical facility for six months and then switch locations if requested. But it is an exciting experience because the advantage of being a travel nurse is that you get to travel and live all over the world. You get to witness new things. With all that being said you get paid good money for this super exciting occupation.

Working in the same hospital for years is like waiting to turn 21. Day after day you’re waiting for that big exciting day. In the hospital you’re waiting for something different to happen. Everyday it’s the same boring day. Waiting to turn 21 is like the death that never happened; just imagine working in the same hospital, with the same people every single day doing basically nothing. Like get up and jump around or something geesh!

Hold up; let me stop getting you so worked up like everything is cake. You still have to take test, and wait on visa from your agency or hospital. You have to choose on a practice you want to do such as: Physical Therapy, OR, ICU, and much more. But after all that everything is usually cake. You have great benefits. High pay, free housing, licensing fees paid, health insurance and travel expenses are usually covered.

Let’s take a trip to the Middle East. I know it’s not the first thing that I would particularly choose, but the money is so great here. Plus there are so many patients that need your help. Oh don’t start crying, you’ll get to go home. Just relax. Be happy that you’re not one of these very sick patients suffering; you get to be the hero and help them get well.

If not the Middle East, there’s always Australia. In Australia they expect a 2 year commitment. I know it’s like but what about six months? Or Canada which has many different opportunities as the United States, but there’s also Europe. Different countries want and expect different things.

Being a travel nurse is of course a good career but obviously you have to be applied by some kind of rules. Everything is not all free and dandy, sorry to bust your bubble.
