<\/div>\n

What has been your greatest achievement\/challenge in travel nursing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Travel nursing has given me the capability to face my fear of the unknown. <\/span>Prior to travel nursing, I was skeptical about traveling knowing I would be away from my “tribe,” my comfort, and my familiarities. <\/span>I have learned to accept and endure challenges with open arms knowing that each circumstance has an opportunity for growth. <\/span>All of a sudden, I have become one with the wind. And let me tell you, it is a beautiful current to ride!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Where was your favorite location for an assignment?<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>My favorite assignment thus far has been in Sunny Los Angeles, California. <\/span>
\n<\/span>I fell in love with every detail from the sand in my feet, the evangelic year-round weather, to the breath-taking views. <\/span>It truly is an artistic, always on the go city. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Why are you passionate about being a travel nurse?<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>My wanderlust heart couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful path. Travel nursing gives you the entire package plus SOME! <\/span>It allows you the freedom to pick up your luggage and go on a new adventure. <\/span>You get the best of both worlds… expanding your nursing career, and a vacation all in one.<\/span> You get to learn new tricks and tips from other hospitals, and also bring in your knowledge and expertise to help them.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Random fact: favorite coffee go-to?<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n<\/span>My favorite coffee on the go- is bad for the body but good for your soul- Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>XOXO <\/span>
