Type of Jobs? Consistency

Published

I currently have a full time night shift job and a PRN job. I work about 50-60 hours a week and take home approx 2200$ biweekly. I'm looking at traveling nurse jobs and have a concern about positions and pay. I feel like I can do pretty much anything but I am certified in Post Anesthesia Care and would like to stay in that area as its pretty much similer across the board.

My concern is the consistency with assignments. Its not like I can just be like oh here let me take that ICU job right quick because no PACU jobs are open up. I get that you can take three month assignments and I have nothing tieing me down. I love what I do but the place I'm working out is draining me and possibly looking for some changes. Just scared to move away from the consistentcy I have here.

Why not call a few agencies and ask them your question. Asking them how many open PACU assignments they have and where they should do as well.

You our must be working in a large hospital to be doing PACU nights!

I would go along with a few agencies if you are worried about downtime. Tell them your end date of the current assignment and then you can have a battle royale of who gets you.
