Traveling nurses can also choose to work in long-term care facilities.

Healthcare professionals are in the business of caring for other people. Too often, we put ourselves second or even third to everyone else around us. When an infectious disease is rampant, such as flu season or the current COVID-19 pandemic, it's essential to consider how we can also keep our families safe.

Burnout is very real and with the added stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers may find they are at an increased risk of developing symptoms of burnout. As we're learning, the pandemic is settling in to be a marathon and not a sprint.

Are you excited by the idea of traveling but not sure if you want to step out into this adventure on your own? Living in a new city for 13 to 26 weeks may seem a little daunting, especially if it’s your first assignment.

Traveling is exciting and adventurous. But sometimes you can be short on time. The freedom and flexibility you have, which is limited only by your own choices, is balanced by a career that's often busy when you're working in a high-demand profession.
