Travel Nursing: Opportunities and Experiences During the Pandemic to Now

30

About the Course
The COVID-19 pandemic provided a perfect storm of sorts for the travel nursing industry. Lucrative contracts flourished and demand for travel nurses soared! Those nurses who were willing and available to respond to the healthcare needs of the pandemic could find surging hourly wages for their assignments. However, it was not an ideal, easy, rosy experience. Increased pay was correlated to the situations that nurses might encounter while working during the stressful, uncertain, and sometimes isolating times of the pandemic. Listen in to this podcast to hear about an inside view of travel nursing during the pandemic from a travel nurse’s perspective.
