Tell us about your career history – how did you become a travel nurse?
I have been a nurse for 19 years and about a year before the Pandemic I started thinking about travel nursing. When Covid appeared I thought that it was a good time to try it.

A few of my former colleagues went into travel nursing when I did and we currently keep in touch about placement, rates, and how it is going overall.

Keep an open mind and be flexible. Remember you are there to help the facility while they are short-staffed.
