Travel but look at your contract. Demand a no-fault clause in case you want to go on staff. Travel is a great way to assess a facility or area.There are many NICU travel contracts out there.

Thanks!! If I don't have a "no fault "clause, what will happen if I go on staff?

They probably won't take you on staff without a no-fault clause. It means there will be monetary penetalies for either you or the hospital to be hired away from an agency unless it is stated that it will be ok.
