Is A Travel Nurse Job Right For You?
By Gordon Bryan
When thinking about whether a travel nurse job is right for you or not, it's tempting to say 'if you like travel and are or want to be a nurse, then yes, if not then no!'
That's not very helpful though, and nor is it as simple as that.
So let's take a closer look.
Naturally there are a huge range of different options open to the travel nurse, and the fact that there are all these choices is part of the appeal.
You might find yourself in the fast paced environment of an emergency situation, or in the more relaxed setting where people are convalescing.
You may be in the leisure industry, offering medical support to people on holiday who hopefully won't need it!
Of course it's up the nurse themself to make these kind of choices.
Some people choose travel nursing because it offers lots of new surroundings, a regular change of scene, and they will relish lots of different jobs.
Others like the adventure of not knowing were they'll be in six months, they enjoy the adventure, and wan to go to as many places as possible.
At the other end of the scale you'll get nurses who don't like upheaval, and enjoy a regular routine and familiar surroundings.
They put up with the inconvenience that comes with the industry as a fair exchange for the potential benefits, perks, and good salary.
You might end up on a cruise ship - no ship can leave port without sufficient medical back up, and for the nurse who wants a big scrapbook full of
location snaps, this is ideal!
Maybe you like the adrenaline and fulfilment of helping in disaster areas.
Just as extreme, if not more so, is the war zone, where the fag of medicine disgracefully offers less and less protection in this day and age.
You will have to do an amount of extra admin as a travel nurse, and of course the amount of this depends on the frequency that you change assignments.
Then you'll things like housing and travel to sort, although many agencies take care of all that side of things for you.
So to sum up, although it's possible to be a travel nurse with minimum upheaval and admin, this is not the norm - usually you'll need to be robust and strong of character.
Of course most nurses are that by definition, but the adapting to new faces and surroundings should really be viewed as a pleasurable challenge rather
than a necessary hardship.
That's probably the best way of deciding if a travel nurse job is right for you.
