Summertime Travel Nursing: Making the Most of Your Travel Nurse Assignment<\/p><\/div>\n

Although its allure entices many travel nurses (and rightfully so!), not every assignment can be in beautiful, beachy, sunny Hawaii. But the good news about summertime travel nursing is that the climate generally gets a little more awesome nationwide — making it the perfect time to really get out there and make the most of your travel nurse assignment.<\/p>\n

As most travelers know, and as TNC shared here<\/a><\/b> recently, every state has something that makes it beautiful! So here are a few fun, summertime links I found to help you make the most of your summertime travel nurse assignment:<\/p>\n

Travel Nursing Blogs did a fun roundup of Ultimate Roadside Attractions for Travel Nurses here<\/a><\/b>, including some of the more unique destinations to check out while on or heading to your assignment, such as the Oregon Vortex, Carhenge, the World’s Largest Six-Pack, and even driving through a redwood tree in California! TNB also has a post about Summer Survival for Travel Nurses here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Nursing Link did a post about fun summer nursing jobs here<\/a><\/b>. Although not traditional travel nursing jobs, they are in the same vein. The post discusses the options of summer camp nurse and cruise ship nurse!<\/p>\n

Fastaff offered a roundup of general summer health and safety tips here<\/a><\/b>. It’s all stuff you should know, but it’s never a bad idea to review.<\/p>\n

American Traveler offers some summertime tips for specific locations here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Medical Solutions offers some info on some of the best locations for a summer travel nursing contract here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

RN Central has an older (2011, but still relevant) post about 5 great working vacations for summer travel nurses here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

And here is a great story<\/a><\/b> about a traveler named Deb Keller who made the most of her summer assignment in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

Wherever you land this season, just be sure to make the most of it and have some hot fun this summertime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
