Travel Nurse Buddy

miam · Aug 26, 2013

with the travel industry still being pretty tight on jobs, and peoples experience being different, i think it would be very difficult for two nurses to try to arrange travel assignments together right now, but maybe not impossible. from my experience i would tell anyone who was worried about being by themselves or being lonenly that travel nursing is not for you because the majority of time you will be by yourself and have to be ok with it. yes, there is a goid chance that you will meet other staff nurses and other travelers, but for the most part they will have their own schedules and or friends/family that they do things with. So you will have to plan in advance to make alot of plans (shopping, siteseeing, outdoor activity) on your own, and hopefully make buddies along the way. Otherwise you will be misserable sitting inside your hotel/apartment just sitting around inbetween working your shifts.

Hi I'm a 25 year old single RN in Hawaii. I work in NICU at Kapiolani. I love it here and will probably be out here for the next 8 months. But I would love to have some friends to go to the beach with! Let me know if you get a job out here!

Hi, there! I'm into my 2nd year of traveling, female, in my 40s, and may be headed to New Mexico next? Will know for sure later this week...

I would love to make new RN friends in the areas of North Central NM (Espanola, Santa Fe, Taos areas). I have a loooong medical history 20+ years (Paramedic, Cert.AT, RN, BSN). Worked in multiple areas (Stepdown/IMCU, Neuro, Med-Surg, Endo), but my longest in nursing, and my first love, is being an O.R. nurse. Ive worked from Level 1 trauma & transplant academic medical centers to mid-size community hospitals and private as well. Always something new to see and do! Let me hear what you guys are up to? Blessings! JAM
