LPN travel nursing

by abiding

Has anyone out there tried the travel nurse thing as an LPN? I'm thinking about it and would like to hear some other folks experiences first. I realize there are many more travel opps for RN (which I am currently working on thru distance learning). I'm having a hard time making ends meet on my LPN salary and also paying for school. The agency I'm talking to is quoting twice what I make. But I want to know the real scoop from someone who's done it. Anybody?

I have also been looking into it myself, but it looks like I still need 6 months more experience before they will consider me. I would love to hear other LPN's experiences as well.

It was a great experience and beautiful scenery. I had alot of fun on my days off. Right now I am going to go back to school to get my RN so I will probably not travel again until next summer. Good Luck with your journey's. Sandy
