Nursing School

 "I personally have been in the industry of travel nursing for almost eight years. I formed Strategic Nurse Staffing only six months ago because of how amazing this industry is," explains Rob Simmons, president and CEO of Strategic Nurse Staffing, Inc., a New York-based nurse staffing agency. Since Simmons has experienced phenomenal, rapid growth as an entrepreneur, he can only imagine the nursing field to grow. "My company has grown from 0 sales per week to, now, almost $70K per week, employing about 30 registered nurses in just six months."

Interested? If so, many nursing schools offer medical training for nurses in training. Once you've completed your nursing degree, all you'll need is experience to become a travel nurse.

Get on It, Aspiring Nurses

As Simmons has noticed in his personal business venture, the nursing field is here to stay and is only going to grow. "In my opinion, the nursing industry is absolutely an amazing industry. First off, a staff nurse takes care of patients -- everyone is a patient -- you and I are patients and all patients value, respect, and trust that a nurse will provide the care he or she deserves," explains Simmons.

Moreover, the nation has been and will continue to face a nursing shortage. The nursing crisis is due to the ever-growing population that's aging and growing. More and more people will need care; fewer nurses are graduating from nursing schools, and a greater number of nurses are retiring each year. Since there are plenty of opportunities, it's wise to get on the ball, aspiring nurses. Enroll in a nursing program. Once you graduate from one of the many excellent nursing schools, there's a plethora of options for you from working at a local hospital close to home or doing travel nurses within the United States, even abroad.

Becoming a Travel Nurse

Simmons says it's pretty simple once you earn a nursing degree from a reputable nursing program. "Once an RN has at least one solid year of experience, he or she can begin a travel nursing career," Simmons says. "Because of the nursing shortage far from ending, hospitals are set up and are in need of travel nurses. Many hospitals pay through the roof for travelers. In fact hospitals will even offer a completion bonus for a mere 13-week contract with a travel nurse."

And a nursing career full of travels reaps more than just seeing-the-world benefits. At Strategic Nurse Staffing, for instance, a travel nurse can earn as low as  high  per year, working three days per week with most expenses, including housing, covered."

With the travel opportunities and high pay in store, who wouldn't want to become a travel nurse. This nursing career opportunity is not like an ordinary job. "It's pretty much a working vacation," Simmons points out. Ready to travel and help save lives? If so, enroll in a health care program at one of the many nursing schools out there to obtain your nursing degree, and start traveling.
