Is it a good move?

I will hit my 2 year mark in the ED in September. I have a 6 month old and a husband who currently has a job. The plan during my time in school was to travel. My husband would quit his job and essentially be a stay at home dad. Together we make almost $80,000 a year before taxes. We rent so if we travel we would only have student loan payment, car and phone bills.

1) would this be a good move financially?

2) How/where do you make the most money?

3) What companies do you recommend?

4) Would it be better to take housing or buy a camper?

5) Do companies cover moving expenses?

6) What companies do "travel team nursing"? (a co-worker and i want to travel together)

We're all super excited about traveling (my husband especially) and appreciate all the experience and knowledge on this forum!!

    Financially appropriate is a family decision. Net pay will be more than you make now - if you have a tax home. I suggest reading up on tax home implications on PanTravelers before making plans.

    Using an RV or camper is a lifestyle decision. Also personal. Really not a way to save money if that was your thought.

    Any agency will try to find compatible assignments for two travel buddies. The more assignments they have the more likely will they be successful. So larger agencies and/or signing up with multiple agencies will be your best bet.

    All your compensation comes out of a fixed all inclusive bill rate. So a discussion of what an agency pays for something has little meaning as it all comes out of your total compensation. Just as an FYI, most agencies have a travel stipend of $500 or $600 round trip, not enough to actually cover expenses. But you can deduct the difference on your tax return, again if you have a tax home to round trip to and from.
