Ready...Set...Go...

Being young and single the possibilities are endless in my mind as I have nothing to tie me down at the moment. This is why travel nursing looks so appetizing to me and maybe for you too. I have always been a person who lives for exploring new areas and meeting new people. While researching information about traveling nurse and what it exactly entitles I found an article written by a registered nurse that lists some great benefits to pursuing this career. Being a traveling nurse can provide you with a broad range of experience within your specialty area of nursing, such as critical care. It can also provide you with the opportunity to move around in different areas within nursing. As you travel around to new facilities it can be very challenging as you get accustomed to your new work area and the people. This can help you grow as a nurse and challenges you as an individual. As you work within different facilities you can also learn a lot from your co-workers and may learn some new advanced techniques and skills. Another great aspect about traveling nursing that your housing is usually paid for and you are encouraged to take advanced courses for free. Also as you travel to different provinces or countries you get to see new places, meet new people, and it pushes you to do things you never would do in your home town (Murdock, 2008). To me this all sounds like a dream come true. I can’t wait until I can experience nursing in another province or country on my own. Just imagine the possibilities.
