" I began travel nursing out of necessity. With two sons in college and another in high school my wife, a school teacher, and I decided that we needed to earn more money to meet our financial obligations. My wife volunteered me because it was easier for me to take my career mobile. After 28 years of practicing locally it was an exciting step for me and it’s paid off well. Today, my son Jeremy has graduated and is married with an infant son, while Luke is wrapping up his last year at a university and Adam, the youngest, graduated from high school in the spring of 2007. My background is eclectic and I've practiced in almost every area of nursing,
pediatrics, nephrology, obstetrics, oncology, medical surgical and even industrial
nursing. Most of my assignments have been medical surgical but my first
love is pediatrics - I love working with kids. Additionally, my assignments
have taken me everywhere - Wyoming, Nevada, New Jersey, Connecticut and Tennessee
although I do prefer to stay close to home so I can work my 60-hour weeks and
then drive home to be with family on my days off. |
