To reduce exposure and maintain social distance, some hospitals and facilities are moving to an online onboarding program that allows you to fill out your paperwork, go through human resources training and watch the necessary videos from the convenience of your home computer.&n

Working different shifts is often just a part of working in medicine. Patients need care 24/7, and there needs to be someone there to give it to them. When you accept your contract assignment, it is often with an understanding of the schedule you'll be working. But, as we all know, life happens and sometimes what's planned doesn't materialize.

Traveling professionals enjoy a number of benefits, not the least of which is being able to see different areas of the country for long periods of time. This means you get to enjoy different cultures and geographical locations almost as if you were a resident and not a tourist. 

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.

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