Is travel nursing lonely?

Don't worry about it. Just go and enjoy yourself.

You're probably going to a hospital that has other travelers. Start with them.
Talk about travel, compare contracts, go out and enjoy the area you're going to. Most travelers I come across are eager to get together and do stuff. They're in the same boat you are...

There will be at least a few staffers that will show you around too. If you're outgoing then you'll do fine. Ask about restaurants, shows, parks, local attractions. Unless you're in the wasteland most people will point you in the right direction.

Lonely? No. Expensive? yes.
Most 1st-time travelers overlook the start-up costs associated with traveling.
Cookware, flatware, shower curtain, microwave, vacuum, linen, pillows, towels, plane ticket, rental car, laundry... and so on. It ALL adds up quickly.

Have about $1000.00+ saved that you can draw on before you go or it might be uncomfortable before you finally get that first paycheck and reimbursements.


Good Luck.

Ya, It can get lonely, and expensive that first month or so.... A good church helps, usually they are pretty welcoming.
