aginggracefully

TERRA RN!! I am about to start travel nursing for the first time. PLEASE tell me the hospital where you had that awful ER assignment!! I know there are some dreadful places out there and I want to avoid them!!

Hello. I am 50 years old and have worked in hospitals, home health and currently Hospice home care. I plan to start traveling in Spring 2007 and hope to stay in Hospice. It is all true that the pay is lower. I accept this because Hospice is more in line with my philosophy of life and nursing. I no longer wish the heroic-ego-driven-high stress medical model of nursing. People should die with grace; death is a part of life. I assist where I can. No more jumping on 98 year old chests to do compressions!! Its just too absurd to me. Please contact me if you have any Hospice questions.

Does anyone out there do Hospice nursing? I really don't want to go back to med/surg (yuck-yuck!!) and am really more interested in Hospice or home health. Anyone know any travel agencies for this?

Hi> Listen, I will start travel nursing this spring (2007) so I will be listening in on how you are faring. Keep in touch on this website! I have two friends who travel and neither say that being cancelled at the last minute has happened to them. It is probably a crappy hospital and a good thing you ended up not going there!
