Is Travel Nursing Worth It In 2023?! 

Travel nursing will always be around. Rates will go up and down

Yeah for sure! Traveling def has some cons but I’d much rather make money and deal with the inconvenience. I can’t imagine going back to making 30 something dollars an hour 🫢

Yes it can be exhausting being far away from home but I like the flexibility

Yes seems like a topic people want to know!

Thank you

That video will be coming soon!

Congrats! Endoscopy is great I’m trying to get into that field. They have so many high paying spots. Is it mostly doing assessments and starting IVs? Your travel company covers you for general malpractice but you can always get your own if you feel you need it. Just ask your recruiter what the company covers.

@@christinatravels6717 Endoscopy requires to assist with "procedures". Meaning you help the GI Doc with collecting tissue samples from the esophagus, stomach, etc and from the colon. Also the RN will do "Moderate Sedation" using Fentanyl and Versed. But more and more hospitals and clinics are using Anesthesiologists and CRNA's for sedation using Propofol. Also you are expected to assist in the placement of plastic and/or metal stents in the esophagus, duodenum, bile and pancreatic ducts. A lot of hospitals and GI Clinic use "GI Techs" to do the tissue collection. The primary job of the RN is documentation on the computer and "watching" for pt status. It's a GREAT field of Nursing. You'll find in the first few weeks that your lower back get sore due the the length of time your a standing. You are correct that pre and post assessments along with starting IV's are part of the job.

Aya’s is a bit pricey but they use Aetna which is a good insurance provider. You can pick different plans and you can add your family.

@@christinatravels6717 What I’m more concerned about is how comprehensive the coverage is. My insurance through my hospital is great! No co-insurance, no high co pays. I know family can be added.

No but I work outpatient oncology infusion so there is not many places they can float me too. Outpatient doesn’t get floated inpatient. I have been floated to a clinic before and it was easy. However, if you are an inpatient nurse you have a greater risk of being floated to other floors.

They'll only float you if your skills match that area. I've floated on my assignments. Off your unit sucks, floating is a break! If you float to the ER, they'll give you admitted pts waiting for a room. It's not bad to float 🛟🙂

​@@christinatravels6717 what are the steps in getting Chemo Certified.

No I do not do night shift

@@christinatravels6717 Do travel nurses have to do night shifts though?

There are definitely still high paying contracts out there you just have to find them.

The postings on websites show you before taxes but you can get a break down from your recruiter. Taxes will vary with your home state and travel state. If you live in a state that has state income tax you will have to pay that every check on top of the taxes in the travel state.
