I did travel nursing from June 05 to Sept 06, only stopped because of health reasons. I graduated in May 03, worked full-time for two years at the same facility. I worked post-partum/gyn surgeries first, then I went to a med-surg unit but I would pick up extra shifts on the gyn/post-partum unit.

When I went travel nursing, my husband, two sons and two cats went also. It was great seeing new sites, meet different people and as a family got to spend more time together.

There are so many travel nurse angencies out there andit is easy to get the type of benefits that is preferred. There are down sides to traveling such as: not being actual part of a team, chance of getting bad housing, traveling complications - breakdown, etc.

Perks include new sites, new place, payrate, and if the nurse don't like the facility it will be over in 4-13 weeks or whichever the contract indicates.

Many travel sites lists FAQs for more information.
