Travel nursing is definitely a great way to turn the tables if you can do it. The money you can make is clearly quite high! I fully support those nurses using travel nursing to get greater pay.

But it also isn't an option for everyone. Many don't have the flexibility to switch to travel nursing. For example, you may not be able to get a nearby contract and may not be able to travel (e.g. because you have children). Plus, traveling isn't an option for new nurses without experience, who now have to work in hospitals that are hemorrhaging experienced nurses to traveling AND have worse staffing ratios than ever.
