Travel nurse contract recap

Last week I finished my first 13 week contract as a travel RN Case Manager. Overall it went pretty well.

There were some issues the first few weeks due to ridiculous infighting between the CMs and about what things were whose responsibility that was clear to me was all being caused by one ridiculous SW who made everything a fight and took everything personally. She was also a traveler and when I started I was told she was becoming staff. In the end she must have angered the wrong person (once she literally got in a screaming match on the phone with an interpreter because she thought he was taking too long to ask questions) cause one day we just got told she wasn’t coming back. After that the whole team worked so well together.

All the other CMs and SWs were so welcoming and helpful. My biggest fear with traveling was that I am not a person who does well when I don’t know where things are what resources are available. I like being self sufficient from a deep seeded fear of being a burden. But everyone was always quick to answer questions or give tips. They all told me I adapted quickly and were ego boostingly sad when I left.

About a month before the end of my contract my manager asked me if I wanted to extend. I said sure. The pay was good (I saved in 13 weeks the same amount I’d been able to save in the past 5 years) and I was content and felt stable in my roll. But then the hospital corporate just never responded to the contract request from my company. After 2 weeks my recruiter suggested applying to a few other listings as back up. So I did.

I could have pushed harder to get the extension but within a few days of applying to other places I got offered a contact back down in OC California. It’s 3 12s nights working as a CM for the transfer center of one of the trauma hospitals. I am familiar with a lot of their processes because I have been on the sending end working with them many many times. It’s a bigger hospital than I tend to favor but I think since I will be transfer center and not dealing with actual patients on the floors it wont be so bad. The beauties of transfer center case management is never talking directly to patients/families and only dealing with the bringing in of patients and not the discharge issues.

I am happy that I will be back down in an area I know and around some friends. I am still not big on going to much (I did go to a Giants game while I was up there but nothing else touristy) so being able to just have dinner with a friend occasionally will be great.

Overall I am pleased with my decision to give travel nursing a try. 13 weeks flew by. Money was good. I felt like I was really able to help my patient population. Only had 1 issue with my manager where it felt like I was being thrown under the bus. Nothing really came of it and it was obvious she was just trying to blame her own miscommunication on me. Though that having happened just a few days after I was asked to extend likely played into me not being as willing to go out of my way to make the extension happen.

Here’s hoping the next contract goes as well.

Health Care Immigration: Alleviating the U.S. Nursing Shortage

The nursing shortage has been a persistent problem in the United States for decades, with experts predicting it will only worsen in the coming years. Many factors contribute to the nursing shortage, including an aging population, the retirement of experienced nurses, and an increasing demand for healthcare services. One potential solution to the shortage is immigration law, which can help bring…

Refinance Your Loans

Almost 95% of student loans are issued by the Federal Student Aid. If you fall into this category, then you’ll most likely know that loan payments have been on hold due to the pandemic. Well, that pause is ending on August 31st so you better be ready to pay. With this pause happening, there is no better time to refinance your loans and get a better deal on those loans you got so many years ago. I’m a nurse in tech and below I will briefly describe how you can save some money by refinancing your student loans asap.

Refinancing is essentially where a private lender will “pay off” your loan and issue you a new one. Due to you being older and less risky, they will likely offer a lower interest rate. There are a ton of blogs online that can explain this in more detail so definitely check those out. This means you will pay LESS money so there really is zero downside. With interest rates only rising in the coming months (as I hope you all know) and the pause period coming to an end, there is no better time to refinance than now. Below, I’ve listed my favorite way to do this. Comment below if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer all of them. Nurse Wallet is a money management app made specifically for nurses. It allows you to manage all your money as a nurse as well as finding the best deal to refinance your student loans. Highly recommend you check it out!

Another Year.

So another one of my birthday’s rolls through I decided to go on an adventure, so I hit the road. I love the fact that there is a state park everywhere you look in Texas. I decided to go to a park that I have never seen before so I headed to the border of Mexico. The state park is called Seminole Canyon State Park & Historic Site. Admission was only four dollars. If you love to hike it’s pretty…

Many travel nurses opt for temporary assignments because of the autonomy and opportunities • Alaska Beacon

Travel nurses take short-term contracts that can require long commutes or temporarily living away from home. Time and again, they have to get used to new co-workers, new protocols and new workplaces. So why would staff nurses quit their stable jobs to become travel nurses? Well, for one, they get bigger paychecks. But U.S. nurses have other rationales besides making more money, according to a…

The Impact of Travel Nursing on Personal and Professional Growth

For nurses seeking adventure and self-discovery, travel nursing beckons like a siren song. It's not just about exploring new cities and savoring diverse cuisines; it's a transformative journey that rewrites personal narratives and unlocks professional potential. Stepping outside the familiar comfort zone of a permanent position, travel nurses start on a unique path of growth, enriching both their inner selves and their career trajectories.

Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

Travel nursing throws you into a whirlwind of change. New hospitals, procedures, and colleagues challenge you to be adaptable, a skill that transcends the clinical setting. Learning to navigate unfamiliar environments and routines fosters self-reliance. You become adept at handling logistics, from finding housing to building social connections in a new city, boosting your confidence and independence. This new found resourcefulness spills over into your personal life, preparing you to tackle any unexpected challenge with aplomb.

Expanding Horizons

Each new assignment is a masterclass in clinical agility. Exposure to diverse healthcare systems and patient populations hones your technical skills and broadens your clinical knowledge. You encounter unique cases, master new technologies, and gain expertise in specialized areas, making you a well-rounded clinician with an impressive repertoire. This skillset diversification strengthens your resume and opens doors to exciting career opportunities in the future.

Building Bridges

Travel nursing transcends geography, immersing you in different cultures and perspectives. You encounter patients and colleagues from varied backgrounds, fostering cultural competency and sensitivity. Learning to communicate effectively across cultural barriers hones your empathy and interpersonal skills, making you a more compassionate and understanding caregiver. These enriching experiences broaden your worldview and build a global network of colleagues and friends, creating a tapestry of memories and lessons learned.

Finding Your Niche

The freedom to choose assignments allows travel nurses to explore different specialties. You can test the waters in areas you've always been curious about, from oncology to pediatric care. Discovering your true passion within the diverse landscape of healthcare can be profoundly rewarding. This self-discovery not only guides future career decisions but also ignites a renewed sense of purpose and job satisfaction.

Leadership Development

Travel nurses often fill critical staffing gaps, playing a crucial role in ensuring smooth patient care. This responsibility fosters leadership skills as you step up, mentor new colleagues, and navigate complex situations. You learn to collaborate effectively with diverse teams, honing your communication and conflict-resolution skills. These leadership qualities become invaluable assets, propelling you towards career advancement opportunities.

Sooo currently thinking about doing travel nursing… Life is so damn expensive, and my current job that I thought was too good to be true turned out exactly that. The husband is on board, but moving across the country is terrifying. I desperately need some guidance from the Lord because I am so tired of nursing right now. I want to quit every single day.

Travel nursing's implications on healthcare cybersecurity
