Considering travelling? Have Questions

Published

Hey all, its been a long time since I've posted on here; but I am an RN with 5 going on 6 years of experience, mostly in ER. For the past year though, I've been working outpatient endoscopy and really like the outpatient/ pre&post op type setting. Almost all of my former ER mates have left to go travel, and I'm really considering if I should give it a try (especially while the rates are still so high).  What I'm worried about though is that I really do not want to do any ER assignments (still burned out) and I would really like to focus on places like ambulatory surgery or in-house surgery. But since my only surgical type experience is outpatient endoscopy, would any facility even be willing to hire me in their preop or PACU settings?

Maybe. Preop positions are probably rare, PACU might be possible - the needs are there. But endoscopy nurses can travel too. Call a few agencies to see what they say.
