Let me rephrase, why aren’t nurses quitting en masse to become traveling nurses? If you are going to be miserable at work, at least be miserable and well paid. Why is there a need to relocate or commute as a traveling nurse? If there is a national nurse shortage, why cannot you be a traveling nurse locally? |

because by definition, traveling nurse...travel. Yes you might get a gig for a while in your local hospital, but what happens when that ends? If you are young and/or single and don't own a house or locked into a 12-month lease, sure you can just pickup and move to the next place across the state or across the country - but if you are like most people, perhaps own a home, have a spouse with a local job and perhaps more importantly, kids in a local school system - it is very hard to just keep packing up and moving 2-3 times a year.
It is not for everyone.
