Travel nursing can lead to many opportunities as a healthcare professional while providing a fulfilling sense of adventure. It can be a little daunting for those looking to switch to traveling from permanent placement.

Communication is such a vital part of healthcare and one of GetMed’s core values as a company. Therefore, in commemoration of Long-Term Care Awareness month, we sat down with our Director of Long-Term Care, Tony Korth, to talk about his experience, thoughts, and advice for nurses in or curious about the role of long-term care professionals.

We are under no illusion that there isn’t a multitude of healthcare staffing companies to choose from. Yet, we’d like to think that GetMed stands out because of why we choose to enter this realm and how we go about our business.

If you’re an independent, curious, hands-on person who enjoys working in a person-focused field like healthcare, becoming a traveler can be a great career path.  Furthermore, for people interested in body mechanics who want to use their knowledge to help others, being a travel physical therapist may be your ideal career. Intrigued?

Starting a new job is always a bit frightening, and mistakes are bound to happen. What’s important is that you learn from them, compile your own tips, tricks, and hacks, and be kind to yourself along the way.
