Does a first time traveler get many interviews?


I am currently working in a LDRP, NN unit where we do everything (including ward clerk!) We only do about 35 deliveries a month, but then again we only have about 15 staff members so we each have plenty of opportunities for labor and delivery. I would really like to travel nurse, but I am wondering if I will have a hard time being "placed" with a facility since I have only done the community hospital thing. So, I guess what I am really asking is: is there much interest in first time travelers or does it take a few assignments before you have much of a choice in assignments? How choosy should I be ? I have three + years experience in LDRP nursing plus one year ICU (again community hospital.)
Thanks for your help!

Depends on where you wish to work (location in the country) as well as the agency. You should have a choice of assignments right away, if not find a different agency, one that has assignments where you are looking.
