Thinking about traveling again for first time just a lil nervou...

[Bella RN, BSN, MSN]

Hello fellow nurses,

I freakin love this site:D I am glad we have a forum where we can consult and console one another. :yeah:Okay I am an RN with 8 yrs experience. I am currently doing contracts and have been doing ccu, csu and ICU. I feel much more comfortable in Medical ICU.

I am getting that desire to try thetraveling nursing again. Every year i go thorough it...should i go travel should i not..blah blah blah. I have never tried traveling nursing.

I am in FLorida and I am looking to go to Virginia, Maryland, D.C, area. I was looking into the travel agency called OnAssignment because they provide housing and they provide you a rental car as well. Plus one of my friends has recommend them.--anyone have any experiences with them??

I know I dont want to be far from DC--I love the historical sites and would love to get a glimpse of our new First Family in the White House. That would be awesome!!

Any tips of what hospitals are traveling friendly and that are good areas that are not far from DC?? I was thinking of Bethesda, Maryland or Vienna, Virginia.

My current contract ends in June and they have offered me a staff position but I want to get out of Florida for a bit...too montonous here for me.

I am a bit nervous especially when I read the posts about the bad experiences people have with traveling, cancelled contracts, rude staff, and just the frustration i sense from some of the bloggers makes me a bit apprehensive, plus i will be doing this solo so I hope I will meet people.

Thanks for the replies in advance!!
