If you are currently thinking of leaving your permanent job, consider what I have to say. You may have a very hard time convincing the next full-time employer you intend to stay and not travel again.
At first I was looking for jobs outside my speciality of ICU in Oct 2016 because I wanted a change. Then I started focusing on ICU in February of this year. I am still without a perm job as of today. I have had 6 in person interviews, 1 phone interview, 3 HR phone screenings and an interview scheduled next week since Feb. I have talked to employers in multiple states. With each interview I am losing my drive to do nursing because how my resume is now viewed. I am a solid interviewee.
Reality is employers think I am unstable even though I tell them how I detest travel nursing.
