You can ask for your travel money upfront? Even if it is my first time traveling? That would be sooo nice, should I ask?? I am planning on leaving my pitiful paying job now but money is tight and I am a little concerned on the "getting there" part with gas being so expensive and such. Thanks everyone on this site for answering these and the other questions btw- it is nice to have help from those who have been there and done that! :thankya:

I wonder if there are any other travelers with children and husband going along too? Surely there must be, I would love to hear from anyone with family, as I am planning to start my first assignment in July, and have 3 children and my husband coming with me. I really would like to have stayed on at a local hospital, but live in a very rural area with local hospitals 30-45-60 min away. The pay is low in our state even though I have 13+ yrs ER nursing. We are also starting up a small farm, and I plan to work 3 days on 4 off, so we can come back home to take care of the animals and such. I will have to hire someone to feed them for the 3 days we are gone. The kids schooling, I am planning on either talking to the school about arrangements, or having my husband home school them. (He has retired from police work due to degenerative disc disease of his back) He is able to work but I would rather him to work on our farm and stay with our children, as I have the opportunity to make more money than he does if I were to stay home. ( I would have loved to have been a stay at home mom, but he is probably better anyway lol they are very good kids ) Soooo, sorry for the very long post, but I would like to hear about others who travel with the entire family!
