Your days off while on a travel assignment are times to be treasured. After all, you’ve moved from home base to see a different part of the country and have new experiences. So, even during times when infection levels may be high, you can take advantage of your days off to enjoy the summer days and see more of your new, but temporary, home.

Healthcare practitioners are on the front line of taking care of people with infectious diseases. During this pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2, it's important to ensure the health and safety of essential health care workers and follow CDC guidelines to keep staff and patients safe.  

Traveling nurses can also choose to work in long-term care facilities.

Healthcare professionals are in the business of caring for other people. Too often, we put ourselves second or even third to everyone else around us. When an infectious disease is rampant, such as flu season or the current COVID-19 pandemic, it's essential to consider how we can also keep our families safe.

Burnout is very real and with the added stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers may find they are at an increased risk of developing symptoms of burnout. As we're learning, the pandemic is settling in to be a marathon and not a sprint.
