Re: what is travel nursing really like?
Travel nursing is absolutely a career. I have worked with travelers who have been doing this for over 15 years. You have to be on top of your game. Very often you can be the most experienced nurse on the unit. With cell phones and the internet it is much easier to keep up with friends and family. Also, there are some nurses who travel with their family. It all depends on the person. As far as money, very often we do make more money then staff nurses, especially working in the southern states.
Anyway, hope this helps and welcome.
