That means, if DH and I are going to be able to "travel", it looks as though I will have to work while doing that. At least for the next 5-7 years. Any of you travel nurses out there, I would appreciate feedback. Agencies that are recommended, and the ups and downs of travel nursing. Thanks so much.

DH just got an assignment to NM. Things are beginning to pick up - for awhile there was little available. The companies we most use are: TRS (the right solutions) TVL, Nightingale, Teamstaff RX. Our recruiter at TRS is Anita Counts and she got us this assignment. Dawn Brown at TeamstaffRX is very professional, too. If you need any other help that we can give, just pm us! mwallace61 • View posts Alabama Senior Member Joined: 03/28/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 11/06/09 04:57pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I'm not a nurse nor is Karen, but while we were travelling out west last year, we saw a ton of signs at clinics and hospitals advertising for nurses and health care professionals and most offering sign on bonuses. Got both of us talking about going back to school....... ;-) Mike Mike & Karen ForrestGump the Wonder Dog USA fullautodave • View posts currently in Rogers Arkansas Senior Member Joined: 07/24/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 11/06/09 09:08pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator My spouse is a travel nurse and mostly works for TRS and Areus Medical. When neither agency has a position where we want to go we just go there anyhow and she gets a job on a per diem basis. Any ups and downs? No just ups. 2009 Mobile Suites TKSB3 2008 Ford F-450 Superduty 2009 Jeep Rubicon toad 1999 Bigfoot C1011FR reddwar • View posts Valley Center Ks. /Now Scotland SD.

He does not live high on the hog but he does have a lot of fun, he has been doing that for over 20 years. red Gary&Linda • View posts Florida for now Full Member Joined: 11/12/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/11/09 12:21pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We've been full-timing and doing travel nursing for 3 years now. We've been from Fl to Seattle and from Tucson to Maine and have never regretted our jump into this lifestyle. I have used NovaPro for 3 years and Kristen Hunt has always gone out of her way to find the nearest campground, the closest lab corp., and where I might need to get fingerprints for the necessary licenses. I get travel reimbursement, housing and living allowences, and reimbursement for licenses or manditory certifications ie: ACLS, BLS, or PALS.

That seems to be the only downside. What do they do about insurance in between the 13 week assignments ....if there is a gap?

What do they do about insurance in between the 13 week assignments if there is a lag time?

Currently using VA Travel Corp, strictly VA assignments. Don't hesitate to contact any hospital HR department directly, bypassing the agencies, to see if they have "seasonal" positions....this has worked for my wife. With the return of the snowbirds, I would think the Texas RGV would have many seasonal positions open. For a traveler, the monthly publication: Healthcare Traveler is a good one to subscribe to, many agency advertisements. As for insurance, we buy our own policy.
