This is great information, thanks for the insight. I'm glad I have a some experience in most of those areas of nursing to mentally prepare me for deploying and having to adapt to another specialty. I will have to train and prepare to be able to do...

You're wise to take into account your childbearing years and desire to settle down and get married as you contemplate travel nursing. I am a 33 year old Labor and Delivery travel nurse and I have never been married and I have no children and I would...
