I’m an RN and would be glad to answer this. Get a nursing degree of some type (RN, BSN, LPN) and get some experience locally…most travel companies require at least one year. Travel nurses are sent by a company to areas where nurses are needed. Could be a strike situation or some states just constantly experience nursing shortages on a daily basis. Pay is wonderful…look to make $50.00/hr. or more. Assignments range from 6-13 weeks usually. Hope this helps.

Nurses have always considered their services only marketable as an employee of someone else. It is time nurses take charge of their profession and market their own services to health care institutions. We as a group are tired of being told how much our services are worth. The economy is ripe for the nurse entrepreneur. Why wait? The nursing shortage is just beginning and there doesn’t appear to be a quick fix in the near future. Much of the nursing workforce is coming up on retirement time, which is only going to compound the lack of skilled nurses to deal with the oncoming baby-boomers.
