Travel nursing
gives the nurse a new-found freedom - the freedom to be let loose of the
chains of politics, the freedom to choose where you want to be, the
freedom to be a snowbird at the age of thirty-five instead of
sixty-five, the freedom to be the nurse that you want to be.
Experience
life! In my five years of traveling, I have been in hospitals with only
fifty beds to a hospital to others with almost a thousand beds. You can
find yourself in towns as small as five thousand people to a major city
with a million. Epstein has personally been in the desert, on the side of
a mountain, and near the beach.
She has been to
Mardi Gras, the Mall of America, looked at presidents on the side of a
mountain etched in stone, viewed the grandest canyon of all, and crossed
the mighty Mississippi several times. She has watched the world champion
Arizona Diamondbacks, St. Louis Cardinals, and the great contenders - the
Cleveland Indians. She has been a fan of the Carolina Panthers, the
Tennessee Titans, and the Seattle Seahawks. Natural disasters such as
Hurricane Wilma, a California earthquake, and several tornadoes are no
strangers to a travel nurse.
Travel nurses
don't have so many "frequent flyers," but they have "frequent memorable
patients." Travel nurses touch the lives of people who are in faraway
places from their hometown.
You will be
proud to state that you are a traveling nurse! And then...you'll have to
explain exactly what you do: travel throughout the United States taking
care of people, and that you are a "contract nurse."
People, Places, and Patients - THAT is what travel nursing is all about!
