Starting a new travel nursing job is exciting, but can be overwhelming. Every hospital has its unique policies and procedures, making it challenging to get acclimated at work as well as the new city or state. However, with the right preparation and mindset, you can quickly adjust to any travel nursing job. In this article, we'll provide ten tips to help you feel settled and confident in your new role.
Nursing school can be expensive, and paying back student loans (plus interest) can feel like a never-ending uphill battle. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, some nursing degrees can cost over $100,000, causing many nurses to rely on either private student loans or federal loans to fund their education. However, this often leaves them feeling overwhelmed by the amount of debt they carry after graduation. Luckily, there are lots of things in the works, including federal student loan forgiveness for certain borrowers.
There’s no one-size-fits-all for people. Marketplace was built on the idea that healthcare travelers deserve the autonomy to make their own decisions, and it’s our goal to help them do it. We've always considered ourself driven by our traveler-first mentality, and it's essential to our relationships with agency partners.
As a registered nurse (RN), you can choose two different paths that can significantly shape your career: travel nursing and staff nursing. Travel nursing offers opportunities to work in various healthcare facilities across the country, while staff nursing allows nurses to take permanent positions at the same facility for an extended period. Both options are rewarding career paths and there are benefits and drawbacks to both, depending on your preferences and lifestyle.
Social workers are one of many unsung heroes in the healthcare industry. They are also one of the most in-demand jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for social worker jobs is expected to increase by 9% from 2021 to 2031, which is higher than the national average. That means there will be plenty of travel social work jobs for workers to choose from in locations all over the U.S. Social workers help vulnerable people and communities work through challenges while handling case management and serving as their advocates for social and economic justice.
