travel as lpn?

Published

Hi. I graduated july 2009. i really, really wanted a psych job so took one as a nurse on a very reputable acute care psych institute (private/adult). many said i made a mistake going to that instead of something more basic like med surg; however many of my patients have self-inflicted wounds and multitudes of serious health problems. anyway, an RN i work with said he got his 1st nurse experience ever as an lpn grad with a travel agency. does anyone know of good ones? i'm single and do plan to go back to RN school, but the travel pay may really help me do so. also, i'd love to travel. thanks so much. (also any tips on reputable online adn or bsn schools would be great)

If you check search engines you can come up with some good agencies that send out LPN's , I think one listing is Absolutely Healthcare. there are other recruiters, just do your homework. I would personally be concerned about taking a travel assignment without med surg exp but sounds like you got some on psych. so very good luck! if I find any of old contacts will post to you.

Please pm me if you found out which agency your friend worked at that allowed him to travel with no experience! That is awesome. Thx
