The travelling nurse

[mickeydickeydog]

I am a nursing student and I'm in the last semester of school. Right now I am doing my precepting at the local hospital, it has been fun and interesting. One of the things that is required of me is to post a question that I have and get some feed back on it. One of the things that I am curious about is the travelling nurse. I know a person that does this every third or so weekend and she makes a lot of money for this. I guess I don't understand why these places are so willing to pay upwards of $100/hr when there are nurses there or is the shortage that great?

It was very interesting to read all the articles on traveling. All of your replies have also answered a lot of questions for me.
