Travel Nursing After School

Published

Any nursing students thinking about travel nursing after school? Truthfully it seems like my dream job. Getting paid to travel the country. 1-2 years minimum experience needed, so i'll be getting a job locally (short term) first. Is anyone else considering this? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also I'm in the first semester of a 2 year ADN program.

my thoughts exactly! where are you at in your schooling? I'm at the end of my first semester in an ADN program so I have about a year and a half left, plus i'll be getting a year experience at a local hospital.

I'm actually starting with LPN first since my freshman grades were so low, I don't start until this coming summer. But bridging from LPN to RN won't take too long I'm hoping!

I think most agencies PREFER 2 years experience, but many will take you on with just one. I think it mostly depends on your ability to adapt quickly to new environments and think on your feet. I bet many of the hospitals offered through the agencies would look great on a resume.
