I am a new RN, but I have 5 yrs of LPN experience. Traveling as a nurse has always been an interest of mine. How many years of experience would an RN need to be hired for contract travel nursing? Thanks.

Truckee,
My husband and I are looking at an assignment in Bethel. Had a couple of questions for you if you have time:
1.)What staffing agency are you using?
2.)What is the patient mix like?
3.)What is the patient to nurse ration?
Thanks for your time.

I'm currently getting ready for my first travel assignment through the University of Colorado. I'm already looking towards next steps though. Does anyone have experience with the Alaska Native in-house travel program? Not a lot of info on the website. I'm from Michigan so the prospect of winter travel nursing in Alaska doesn't bother me, especially if it means extra benefits/pay.
