"I got started in travel nursing because of my husband. He is a scrub tech and basically tied to the facility were he works, so he convinced me to give it a try. It has been one of the best decisions for both of our careers. We both love to travel, however, because of financial constraints and having young children our opportunities have been limited. Now that our children are in college, travel nursing is the perfect way to meet our financial goals and see the country. Over the past two years we have met 2/3 of our financial goals and seen over half of our top 10 cities to visit! At first I started out with several companies, but it didn't take me long to see that FASTAFF afforded me the best opportunities for pay and flexibility. I usually work an 8-week assignment, after which I take two weeks off. This was a problem with other companies, but no problem for FASTAFF. I am from a large family (one of 14) and my brothers and sisters all look forward to the stories about my travels. Through me they have seen and heard of places that they may never get the chance to visit. Several family members have come to visit me while on assignment. While traveling I have made lifelong friends out of co-workers and patients. Traveling is wonderful, I love it and I can see myself doing this for a long
time." |
