Jobs


I am just wondering if you have to be an RN for travel nursing? I would really like to work in the Ft. Worth area - I live about an hour away! I would like double shifts on weekends so I could be home on weekdays for my kids... any ideas on who would hire for that?
thanks,
s

If you do hospital nursing some places have weekend programs. 12 hours sat and sun and get paid for 3.

I worked as a travel nurse in New York City 2 years ago. I was a RN, but I met an LVN in my apartment building who was working as a travel nurse. I can't remember who she worked for, but I worked for American Mobile Healthcare. I have never heard of an assignment that only required weekends. It has been my experience (and others) that you sign on for 13 week assignments and work 40 hr/wk including 2 weekends per month. Also, most of the jobs available are the graveyard shifts, unless you work in the ER or ICU. Something else, there's a reason that hospitals are having to use travel nurses. You might very well end up in an environment where no one else wants to work. I'm glad I did it though, because living in NYC was a BLAST!
