I am working with TruStaff. My recruiter has been absolutely amazing to work with! This is my first assignment with this company and they were very proficient in getting everything taken care of from the application process to the living arrangements. The facility I am at seems to use quite a few travelers, two of which are soon to be completed, so I'm certain they are currently looking for more help.

Thank you so much for your comments and advice!! I am 2 weeks into my contract and am really enjoying the work so far. It is a different environment than I have ever worked before, but I do feel quite safe and everyone has been polite. For a first time traveler it has been a positive experience :)

Hi there! I found these posts/responses to be extremely helpful and detailed so I thought I would join and describe my current situation to get fellow nurses' thoughts and advice :) I have been a LPN since 2010 and have a variety of clinic, contracted experience (general surgery/breast cancer specialty, sports med, family practice, urology, pain management) so I definitely enjoy moving around and learning new aspects of the medical field. I have never traveled before, but recently accepted a 13 week Correctional LPN position in NM, 1300-ish miles away from home. I am excited and frightened at the same time. Does anyone have any advice or general ideas of what I might expect in the Correctional environment? Thank you so much in advance!
