Can
Someone PLEASE Explain Travel Nursing To Me?
Part
Two
One of the fastest growing segments
of the nursing “industry” is
a concept known as travel nursing. Whether it is
because of the nursing shortage, underpaid nurses
in some parts of the country, labor unrest, or

I get lots of emails at nursetown.com asking questions
about travel nursing, so let’s take a look
at some of those most often asked by our readers

- What if I like it there and want to stay permanently?
- Can a friend and I get assigned together?

 Burn Out or Divine Discontent
by Maxine Thompson
They
say that every seven years we change. I believe that spiritually,
this is true. When I look back over my resume, I see that many
of my life transitions (from job transfers within the same department,
to relocation to a new city) occurred after about a seven year
cycle. I've also read that sometimes it takes a while for our
psyche to catch up with the new person who we have evolved into
over this seven year period...
