General Travel Nursing Questions...

Published

My soon-to-be husband and I will be living the military life for a while and I think it makes sense for me to get into travel nursing because we'll be moving often with his job. I just don't know how to go about starting to figure out which company to go with. Any thoughts on how I can start figuring out who to go with?! I'm confused and don't know where to begin. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Although you are "traveling" I don't believe it's travel nursing you will be interested in... Travelers usually are flexible in going all over for short periods. I'm guessing you want to be together not apart?

Registry!

You will want to work in the community your husband is stationed. Registry is a sure-fire way to work locally in one or many facilities around base/post. Look around where he is stationed for companies that staff hospitals/clinics in the community.

This way YOU stay in charge of yourself. (Usually pays more than part-time or per-diem too)
