YOU HATE WORKPLACE DRAMA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, every hospital and facility has its politics. When you are around the same people and problems day in and day out, you can get caught up in the drama. A pro of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wanderly.us\/nurse\/jobs\/search\">travel nursing<\/a> is you are new to the facility so you can focus more on patient care and hospital protocols than petty issues.<\/p>\n<p>If you do get wrapped up in the drama at a facility, you only have to deal with it for a little bit until your contract is up! Then say goodbye and go someplace even better. 13-week contracts can be a blessing!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_YOU_WANT_TO_MAKE_MORE_MONEY\"><\/span>2. YOU WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/salaries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Data from Indeed<\/a>\u00a0states that on average travel nurses make 20% more than RNs. There are many factors that go into this higher salary. For starters, the base pay of a travel nurse is normally higher than a full-time nurse because of the short assignments and high demand for the position to be filled. Our travelers also may be eligible to receive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnhealthservices.com\/tax-free-pay-distance-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tax-free stipends<\/a>\u00a0to help with relocating, this includes housing, meals, WIFI, etc. Other traveling expenses are often reimbursed as well. Finally, when tax season rolls around you\u2019ll get tax breaks for being a travel nurse.<\/p>\n<p>When you add up all these variables, it equals more money in your pocket! Keep in mind salary changes depending on location, your experience, and the facility.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_YOU_ENJOY_MEETING_NEW_PEOPLE\"><\/span><strong>3.

Unless you are traveling with a friend or your family, you\u2019ll be traveling alone. While we do have access to Skype and Facetime to connect with friends, it is always fun to find new people to pass time with on your days off. Did you know\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/03\/04\/bumble-launches-bff-a-feature-to-find-new-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bumble\u00a0<\/a>is more than just a dating app!

YOU GET BORED EASILY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are known to have chronic boredom, then travel nursing may be your cure! Between starting at a new facility, meeting new people, moving into a new apartment, and exploring your new location, there is hardly any time to even think about becoming bored.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_YOU_ADAPT_TO_CHANGE_WELL\"><\/span>5. YOU ADAPT TO CHANGE WELL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You have to be okay with the change in this career. A travel nurse constantly adapts to new co-workers, patients, and has to adapt to new facilities every contract. This is great for people who get bored easily like stated above, but maybe isn\u2019t the best choice for a homebody who needs routines and structure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_YOU_ARE_ADVENTUROUS\"><\/span>6.

This is perhaps one of the greatest pros of travel nursing! Every 13 weeks you change locations and scenery. You\u2019ll soon find yourself meeting new people in Chicago, hiking mountains in Colorado, sunbathing in Florida, or tasting fresh seafood in South Carolina. Wherever the wind takes you, you can go \u2013 and get paid for it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_YOU_WANT_TO_TEST_THE_WATERS_BEFORE_FULLY_COMMITTING\"><\/span>7. YOU WANT TO TEST THE WATERS BEFORE FULLY COMMITTING<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some of our young travelers are just beginning to reach their nursing career goals and aren\u2019t sure what cities they like or want to eventually settle down in; so they test them out while working their 13-week contracts. This also goes for the size of the facility they want to work at, while travel nursing you can test out different facilities and locations until you find the perfect combo!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_YOU_WANT_TO_PICK_WHEN_YOU_WORK\"><\/span>8. YOU WANT TO PICK WHEN YOU WORK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The beauty of travel nursing is the flexibility you have. Unlike traditional nursing jobs where you get limited vacation time, your vacation time is always dependent on what you want!<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you know you are going to need days off for an upcoming family event, graduation, birthday party, etc. you can work that into the contract! Many travel nurses also work their 13-week contracts and take a week off to enjoy their current or new location before the next 13-week contract starts. It is all up to you!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_YOU_WANT_TO_BUILD_YOUR_RESUME\"><\/span>9.
