Hey gang,I was wondering if anybody know anything about cruise ship nursing. My husband and I are going to travel in May and were thinking about applying to Carnival. Here are my questions..1.) Can I bring my husband with me--- he is not a nurse2.) How is the pay/room and board/insurance3.) Is it easy to get hired?Thanks Brandie

We read articles online, asked around and found requirements. Years of ER and ICU/trauma experience is required along with an ACLS/CCRN/PALS certification. Most ships hire experienced RN's with advanced degrees. I was told most time is spent in the cruise. Room/board/meals are covered. You're oncall when not working. I don't know about hubby.Here's a thread from here that would be helpful for some of your questions:https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/cruise-ship-rn-284735.htmlThread:https://allnurses.com/travel-nursing/cruise-ship-nurse-6243-page2.htmlAnother Thread:https://allnurses.com/travel-nursing/cruise-ship-nursing-54647.htmlGood luck!
