I can't really answer your question but your posting made me curious. I am very interested in starting the travel nurse route. I am actually planning to contact agencies this week. It sounds like you have been traveling for awhile. I just wanted to know how hard it is to get an assignment? It sounds like you are with a lot of agencies. How many do you recommend being affiliated with? What is the longest you have gone without an assignment? I just worry about the stress of always wondering how long you will have a job and thinking about getting the next one. Is it worth it?
