So just an update.... I am still waiting to hear about a job, I have been calling Nursefinders office in the location where I would like to go first but they haven't been the best at returning my calls. I am not being annoying or anything (I don't think- I called monday and the secretary said he would return my call tuesday; heard nothing so I called today and still waiting to hear back). I hope this is not a future trend if I do get the job with them. I have already got prices on shipping my car out there, all bills are on auto-draft now.... just waiting on the word.... Nik

Hello all! I thought I would share my experience while starting into travel nursing, beginning shortly about myself. I am 29 y/o and have worked in a Level 1 Trauma ER for the last 7yrs- the last 3yrs as an RN. I love my job and my hospital is a great system to work for. THAT BEING SAID- I mostly feel that I have met my potential where I work and thus the reason why I am leaving. I have attempted employment with several per diem agencies in my area without success secondary to the economy. I have been very fortunate to have traveled the world this year alone and have become used to meeting new people and look forward to meeting new people! I have been working with NurseFinders and have been impressed with their professionalism and their quickness to answer my questions. I have completed my application packet, passed my online tests, and completed my UDS. I have yet to decide where I will start my first assignment- but have an idea of where I want to go! I will continue to share my journey in hopes this will help/ motivate/ answer questions that one might have. Also, please feel free to share your thoughts and advice to a new travel buddy! I am hoping that by writing this, I may be able to communicate with people in future locations and create a good networking system! Nik
