Leaving travel nursing


I am leaving the travel life for now anyway. I am taking a permanet position in ICU which will be a new experience for me.
Travel nursing has been fun but with the down turn in the economy the jobs have been hard to find.
Plus I figure if I can get ICU experience under my belt then I am that much more marketable!!!
There are still many places to go and so many things to see!!!
I have learned so much over the last 3 1/2 years but it will be nice to settle for awhile. (I think?!)

I would love to do travel nursing when I get my license. I believe some companies allow you to start after 1 or 2 years experience. Good luck in ICU.

Love to Dive,


I think you leaving travel to go to ICU is a good move, that experience WILL make you more marketable. I did 1 year in MICU right after nursing school,but found that it wasn't for me, however I wouldnt trade the experienc and knowledge gained for anything. GOOD LUCK
