I read a lot of loved ones left home, or people lonely while traveling, but I am curious about ones who bring a close friend, girlfriend/boyfriend, spouse, etc with you. I want to know, aside from you both traveling as a nurse, what did this other person do to pass the time while you were working?... Did they find a temp job?..work online?..sight see? raise children?.. etc Curious if there are any jobs that worked well for your "partner" while you went from assignment to assignment..

Cool, maybe I will need some of your advice in the future!

Im new to nursing(noob), starting my program in January. I was curious what are some high demand specialities when it comes to travel nursing? I am not sure what kind I will go into, but I want to travel for sure and be a vauable asset where ever I would go:)

To clarify a bit.. and thanks to all the schools you send about i will look them up. In michigan for associates degrees there are either schools that have a waitlist, or have competitive based entrance. I current attend a school that is called Washtenaw community college. It is a waitlist school, But for only a two year degree the waitlist is now two years or more. Other schools that are academic based are so competitive that students need 3.8 or better to get in. I would prefer not all the super high grade pressure, and i would prefer not to wait so long to continue my learning. I am willing to relocate to where a school that once you complete pre-reqs (with good grades i can do) that you go to the nursing program. Schools where I go in michigan, and places ive looked at while visiting florida are so super packed on their waitlists or very hard to get in. With the bad economy and nursing being seen as a solid field so many ppl jumped to it. Ive always wanted to help ppl , and I would like to start this part of my life as soon as possible.:) you all are such kind people on here, i really appreciate it.

I am at a community college in michigan and want to get my ADN, associated degree in nursing. The two year program has a waitlist of two years. I dont want an academic based program for the fierce competition. I would like to attend a community college some where in the states which will take not more that two years total.(no ness counting pre-reqs) Does this exist, or is nursing waitlists packed everywhere?
