I cannot seem to get travel nursing off my mind and my husband has agreed he thinks it would be something awesome for us to do since we do not have kids and love seeing as much as we can. I am registered with two travel companies and have operating room and NICU experience (level 3). I have done one travel assignment on my own between switching nursing specialties and LOVED it! Now that my husband is interested, I am wondering if anyone else has brought their spouse along with them (keep in mind he is not a nurse, so he’s coming for the journey and to potentially work temporarily wherever we are depending on circumstances and job availability) and what you find was hardest or the best thing about it? Any and all advice is appreciated! Just want to have a better understanding of what we are getting in to. Also, did you find the pay was affordable enough for the both of you? Thanks!!

Hi! I am currently an operating room nurse (1 1/2 years experience). I signed A contract with my Hospital, but in the past few months I've been disappointed in my job and have been dreading to go to work each day. I would Love to get on with NICU or mother/baby at a another hospital that has an opening, but my question is, would it be a good idea to break my contract to go somewhere else? I have The utmost respect for OR nurses, but I've learned it's not for me and I don't think I can Make it another year. I have heard different feedback....some of it being that breaking a contract looks really bad. However, is it worth it to stick out a job I cannot stand anymore? Also, any additional advice on how to prepare to transition from OR back to more "traditional" nursing would be much appreciated! :)
