If you are a registered nurse with at least 12 months of clinical experience, the exciting field of travel nursing is open to you. It's an opportunity to travel throughout the country working flexible assignments. You select your assignment based on your needs. As a traveler, you have the opportunity to see places you've never seen before. Also, you will have the opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas, and share knowledge with professional peers from various backgrounds from all over the country.

The travel nursing industry began when a few agencies began to offer hospitals a short-term solution to perpetual staffing problems in the 1980s. The demand was especially high in places like California, Texas, Arizona and Florida where population fluctuates with the seasons. Over the years, though, facility managers recognized that traveling nurses could be the solution to many of their staffing problems. Today, a well-qualified nurse with experience in a high-demand specialty can find an assignment across the United States throughout the year.

As a traveler, you will be able to:

• Experience the excitement of living in and exploring new regions of the United States.
• Meet new people and make new friends.
• Expand your professional knowledge, skills and competencies.
• Build your resume.
