Q: What is travel nursing? What are its benefits?
A: The travel nursing industry began in the 1970s when health care facilities starting experiencing seasonal and regional shortages. As the need for qualified health care professionals has continued to grow, travel companies have become an irreplaceable resource for both nurses and hospitals. Travel companies provide staffing solutions for health care facilities by placing nurses and other allied health professionals on 13-week assignments across the United States. After choosing a travel company, nurses are placed on the work assignment of their choice. During the assignment, the company provides all the necessities while on the job, including housing and insurance, along with other outstanding benefits. After 13 weeks, you can renew at your current hospital, or travel to a new facility that has a staffing need.
Unlike permanent positions, travel nursing allows you to explore a new city and meet new people. You choose where you're going to work, when, and for how long. Take an assignment at a small rural hospital, or at a prestigious urban facility. The choice is always yours.

Q: Is it difficult to find a job in nursing? How much will I make if I go this route?
A: Finding a job is one of the advantages of becoming a nurse. As in any entry-level job you will have to prove your competency before you get the shift and job of your choice. If you don't mind starting on the night shift, or working in a nursing home, or for an agency, you won't have a problem. There is a nursing shortage now so it is easy to get a job. Regarding pay, this depends on where you live, what shift you work, and job specifications. Most RN's make a starting salary of $17-25/hour. Salaries can go to $200,000 +++ if you are smart and hard working.
