Featured Career: Travel Nurse

By the way this is a good article and I must say from working first hand with many traveling nurses and has been a traveling Surgical Tech mysellf they are much needed as well as appreciated.

There are many reasons healthcare professionals choose to travel including higher pay, professional growth and development, and personal adventure. Travelers typically select from one to several recruitment agencies to act as an intermediary between the traveler and hospitals or other potential employers. There are over 340 Travel Nursing Companies in the U.S. as of 2009. Agencies may submit applications for numerous positions concurrently on behalf of a traveler.Debt Consolidation

This is an interesting article. I'm glad I read it, because I did not know that a LPN can become a traveling nurse. I've always desired to be a nurse and this article gave me more thought on the field of nursing I would like to work in. Thank you!

@stephen343 I think the concept can solve the problem the question is will there be enough nurses willing to do this and will they be qualified? Im a healthcare worker now and I can tell you that not everyone that works in the field wants or should be there and more people are joining the field out of desperation and not desire. So my feeling is that as of right now even though many people are joining our medical brotherhood many of them will also be weeded out and burned out sooner than later.
