Travel Nurse Jobs Combine Work With Pleasure

American Traveler Puts the “Travel” in Travel Nursing

BOCA RATON, FL–(EMWNews – July 15, 2008) – While USA Today reports that 37 percent of

Americans will terminate vacation plans this year and 24 percent will

shorten trips or stay closer to home, travel

nursing companies such as American Traveler are sending

qualified nurse job candidates and their families to Maui, Seattle, San

Diego and Orlando, AND providing them with top benefits and lucrative

earnings.

“We call it the Travel Nurse

Getaway,” said recruitment VP Mary Kay Hull for American Traveler.

“First we find you a travel nursing job that meets your criteria for

location, hospital and high nurse pay. Then, we add in free private

housing, full health benefits on day one, and the option to travel with

family, friends and pets. We even offer prepaid gas cards on some

assignments.”

“With a 17 percent pay increase over last year and a salary 20 percent

higher than permanent nurse staff, you’ll find our travel nurses at Disney

and Six Flags, touring wine country and riding horseback in the desert,”

said Lauren Hiering for 50 States Staffing travel nurse company.

Travel nurses enjoy a distinct, competitive advantage in today’s nurse job

marketplace. The demand is such that travel nursing jobs

are abundant, and because the competition among travel nurse companies is

intense, candidates have plenty of choices.

“Whereas one company tried to send me where I didn’t want to go, American

Traveler never strayed from what I wanted: high pay and a travel

nursing job in Washington State. Sitting in a hot tub on the Wenatchee

River surrounded by rushing whitewater and snow capped mountains has made

for quite the adventure,” said Med/Surg RN Kirstin K.

Travel nurse consultants at American Traveler say newcomers to the travel

nursing profession often wonder whether they will be afforded enough time

or energy to enjoy their destination, after working hard all week. The

resounding answer from recruiters is “Absolutely!” Travel nurses work

overtime only when they want, typically work three days a week and use the

remainder of their time exploring the new city or planning short excursions

with family and friends.

“We take care of all the details. You pack your bags and hit the road for

the working vacation of a lifetime,” says Hull.
