I rent........ Im brand spanking new to Travel Nursing. Im guessing I didnt make that clear, my apologies. I was hoping experienced RNs could share some cost effective methods I dont know about to get into safe, furnished, properties for short periods at a time.

Im about to take on an assignment very soon as a Travel Nurse and I have done a little research and spoke to a few other travelers and Im still at a little of a loss. Im a young woman who enjoys her freedom and space I dont consider renting a room in some one's house an option. Could someone give me a few cost effective ways to support myself in Housing?

You know I more than likely will do as you suggested and move to a city of my choosing and work in there trauma center for some time. My anxiety comes in when I here from other ER nurses that it would not be a smart move for me to travel nurse without that experience; and I guess Im just looking for encourgment or testimonials for anyone that had a similar experience as the one Im about to take to see what it was like for them. When I posted this on the ER thread their werent very many encouraging or positive comments about me venturing out without that trauma experience.

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice and guidance. Ive been an ER nurse for 20months and a Nurse for 2yrs now. Ive always wanted to be a travel Nurse no matter the field. I have now genuine intrest and drive to pursue ER nursing further. However, I have no interest what so ever to stay where I am. The unit I work in is next to a Level 1 trauma ER and a specialized hospital for children part of our same medical organization (DMC) so we dont often, if at all, recieve children or the trauma cases, so I dont have much expereience with that population. Im currently in the process of getting my PALS, TNCC, and maybe ENPC. I know your thinking "Why dont you transfer out to the Level 1 trauma for awhile for experience". BELIEVE ME I would, if I were in a position to but I cant. I know I have the option to just apply to a different hospital that is Level 1 but I don't have any desire to stay where I am at all. Id like to just move and explore. Also, my rationale is, whats the real difference in transferring somewhere else or join an agency to place me; Im still going to be placed in a position to learn something new or faced with a case Im unfamiliar with. The bulk of cases I recieve are MI's, Cancer patients, and all of BS in between. Most of my cases are terminally ILL or OB pts. And so my question for the Travel ER nurses is this: After my certs are up to date is it a good idea for me to just jump in there and gain experience along the way of traveling and taking assignments or do I stay and find another hospital to gain more experience? please help me. ~~~ Although many of you commented and gave wonderful advice; I made the mistake in posting the same subject in multiple sites to gain as much feedback as possible and the site saw it as spam and the previous post was taken down. I hope more of you continue to give more things to consider and mole over as I begin this Journey as a Travel Nurse. Thankyou all!!! : )

I hope more of you continue to give more things to think about and consider upon the new start of my career in Trauma : )

dallenrn, your advice truly spoke to me as well. I will admit that my prioritizing needs improvement definitely and Im willing to work hard and be open to all that I can to achieve the greatest improvement. Thankyou so much for your encouragement

NedRN, Thankyou so much!!!! This really helps me narrow down what I might decide to do. To have a staff position in another city is a wonderful idea!! Id be somewhere new and not necessarily feel the need to be switched to another assignment so fast you're right! Thankyou so much for your advice
