    Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    Wolf at the Door replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    Wolf at the Door replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Bellijar1995 is right it can close doors. I see it a few ways but, I am just going to list one. A top school may scare the potential manager as seeing their own education as inferior. That manager...

    Pay the rent for the first year and see how things go. Do you see a future in Wisconsin? It would be a hassle to move back and forth if you do... If after the second assignment you hate travel nursing...
