Is tele enough for travel

[nowim clean]

I read all these posts and people are ED, CCU, CVICU, but I am a tele nurse are there going to be jobs out there for me or do I need to place this on hold transfer to the icu or ed at my facility for another year or 2?

How long have you been working in the telemetry unit?

[nowim clean]

A total of 3 years and I take care of post op day 1 cabg pts as well as cath/interventions

Yes, you have the experience to be submitted for a telemetry travel nurse contract. There are always contracts posted all over the country for Telemetry RNs.

I think tele is enough because you also qualify for med/surg assignments as well...however with that being said. I do find tele and ed/surg to be typically the lower paying assignments and also the harder working assignments as well.

I did 4 travel assignments as a med/surg/tele nurse before taking a permanent position in the ED. My first travel assignment was with 3 years of experience.
