What Traveling Nurses Get To Experience?

When this nurse gets tired of long hours and high pressure on her registered nursing job, she quickly finds another. It has been two years since she worked as a nurse and even then she has switched jobs six times already. To cover for the nursing shortage in the country, hospitals highly rely on these nomadic nurses.

These traveling nurse companies are no responsible for filling in the gaps so many hospitals that lack staff members. According to one nurse who has experience working in Florida to New York and San Diego to Seattle since graduating from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Nursing in 1999, claims she has not been in a permanent job yet.

Trying to fill the need for nurses, says the Chief Nursing Executive of the University of Pennsylvania health system are the travelling nurses. The ongoing rate for these travelling nurses are about $30 an hour and up which is more than what the staff at four Penn system earns but less than those hired by agencies. Traveling nurses work for about 13 weeks initially.

The outcome of this is more opportunities for nurses wherever they go. One nurse was able to make $32,000 in the first year of working and on the second year she made $52,000. The only reason why she wanted to do this was so she could see other places like San Diego with perfect weather year round and her favorite location so far is Seattle.

Near the hospital that she worked for, she could see the Mount Rainier. Clean air and friendly people embraced the city.

This job is not an easy one. This job is known to have high rate of being burnout and stress and feeling unappreciated. Here, one can just leave if they wanted to as easily. The next 13 weeks you can choose to travel again.

If you are lucky you can get a flexible schedule. She shared that just last year alone eight national parks was visited by her. When you move from time to time, many things need to be looked into.

Seeing the US was one advantage for this nurse who traveled for five years, working in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Hawaii before settling in Seattle. Sometimes she shares, she misses some of it but not the hassles and demanding schedules.

Among other things, mailboxes addresses and phone numbers need to be the same. Relying on one another has become a sisterhood pact that most nurses have. Even if she already had the chance to move, she still forgets things sometimes.
