Welcome back. I had wondered what became of you. I hope you enjoy being a traveling nurse.

I'm a medical transcriptionist, so I never get hands-on experience, but some of the stories I transcribe are interesting.

We are hoping to end up in northern Arizona next year (tentative destination is Kingman).

Well, all the best to you!

God Bless you in your travels. I have known single nurses that really took advantage and traveled the world. It makes it tough if you have a family.

Nice to see you back. I would be interested in hearing how the other nurses/staff deal with your presence. My wife doesn't have a lot of good things to say about some travel nurses.

One, they are paid way more than the local nurses. Two, the hospital will actually bump local nurses off a shift (losing a day's pay) in deference to a travel nurse. Three, the travel nurses are generally (although not in your case) either from a foreign country or just out of nursing school. Four, the travel nurses have a sense of arrogance based on their pay and the hype the the nurses receive from the recruiters.

Just some thoughts on what I hear from my wife. She has come across some travel nurses that she felt were a needed and welcome addition and they were very nice. But it seems about half fall into the above categories.

Welcome back.

Best of luck on your job change.

Looking forward to some more war stories.

Just last week I referred a conservative friend who was thinking about buying a Prius (yes, a Prius) to your Hybrid cars: Death in a Bunny Suit story.

Congratulations on your new career path! Sounds very interesting. I hope it’s all you hope for it to be. Are you sticking to a region of the country, or available to all the US? international, even?

I’ve missed your writing.

Congrats on the new position! I worked with a travel nurse when I worked NICU and she had her little circuit-3 months in Hawaii, 3 months in Denver, 3 months in Indianapolis and I forget where else she went. She spoke very highly of travel nursing. I’ve missed your stories and look forward to reading about your new adventures as an ER Travel Nurse!
