Are you a nurse or other medical profession thinking about traveling?

If you are, and you can, then you should.

There was a survey done a few years ago, where they asked people, "If you could do anything, and money was no object, what would you do?"

The majority of people answered "Travel".

When I first heard about travel nursing from another nurse in my hospital I got really excited.

• Short term assignments - long enough to see and experience everything in the area but short enough not to get bored.
• Free furnished housing - no hassle to find your own place and it's all paid for
• Travel Expenses paid - no money out of pocket
• Health, Dental, and Life Insurance included - Great!

But when I told my husband he laughed at me. He called me nieve and said there was no way this was true. "It's too good to be true" were his exact words.

But I looked into it further, and we decided to give it a try. Boy, are we glad we did!

Traveling has been the greatest experience. We have seen and lived in areas we might not have been able to otherwise.

My husband has always dreamed of driving across the country. But with travel nursing we are driving AROUND the country. We left Houston and went to LA. Then to San Francisco, then to Vancouver. Then across the country to New York. Then down the coast to Atlanta. Then back to Houston. And from there we fly to Hawaii.
