When you spend hours on your feet, it's more likely you'll develop work-related musculoskeletal challenges. As nurses, you don't often get a chance to rest from standing and walking every shift. That's why it's so important to have a plan to keep your feet and legs in the best shape possible and prevent the development of sores, bunions, and calluses.

One of the most important factors that affect your experience as a traveler is your Recruiter. This is your agent, employer, career coach, sometimes a life counselor.  So why do some travelers work with multiple agencies?  And is this a good idea?

"Guaranteed hours" is a clause most medical travelers have in their contracts. However, the terms of each clause may change with each contract. Some travelers assume this means they will be paid for the number of hours in the agreement, whether they work them or not.

Being a traveler requires a sense of adventure. For 13 weeks or more, you're living in a new city, meeting new friends, and contributing to a new hospital. Some travelers decide to bring their pets along as it gives them a sense of being home.

Traveling is fun, exciting, and a daily adventure. But, how do you know if you’re ready to take on the challenge of making more money, meeting new people, expanding your horizons, and your network of professional and personal friends? You may be more ready than you think for these exciting experiences you’ll have with medical travel.
