Travel Nurse
Adventures in Arizona - American
Traveler
 When
Joanne Hutchison told her friends and
family she was going to Phoenix for the
summer they told her was crazy, “It’s so
hot!” they said. But for Joanne, the
climate was great. “The temperature
hasn’t bothered us so far- it’s actually
quite lovely- very low humidity here,”
she said. Pictures of her first week in
the Grand Canyon State show encounters
with local zoo residents and gorgeous
desert landscape. “Funny animals and
perfect weather,” Joanne said, “was a
great way to start traveling Arizona and
experience one of America’s fastest
growing cities.”
The nurse extraordinaire has worked with
American Traveler for over a year now
and is “ENJOYING IT TREMENDOUSLY.” The
great benefits, high pay, and personal
freedom are amazing.

JENNY SCHULER, RN
Clinical Coordinator/Documentation Manager
Picture yourself riding “The Dragon” on your first wedding anniversary. Clinical Coordinator and
Documentation Manager, Jenny Schuler RN, and Duke Kornsuwan did as they cruised through the mountains of Tennessee and
North Carolina toward the sight of breathtaking beauty where the two pledged everlasting love—the overlook to Calderwood
Dam. Akin to “the land that time forgot,” the famous ‘biker’ route down US129 was named “The Dragon” for its 318 winding
turns and mythical layout. There are no gas stations, driveways, or mini malls to blemish the open road, just miles of
scenic stops where Mother Nature’s finest work goes untouched.
“The Dragon” takes you beyond the hustle and bustle of big city life. Fresh mountain air and unadulterated beauty invigorate
the spirit. See great American sights and cities with American Traveler.

Kelly Vigliotti
She is American Traveler’s ‘Recruiter of the Year’ for 2003 AND 2004. An outdoor enthusiast who loves people and adventure, Kelly Vigliotti has a knack for matching top nurses and allied health professionals with high-paying positions across America.
“I love meeting new people and exploring new places through the eyes of my Travelers,” says the three-year American Traveler veteran. “I’m motivated by the excitement in their voice and their desire to try new things.”
Born in Pennsylvania and raised in Ormond Florida, Kelly tells a story about a traveler who walked a snake on a leash while exploring new surroundings. The same nurse who brought along her tortoise and Tarantula spider on every assignment.

Pictured here are Kelly
and canine friend, Lucy. |
“As a Travel Consultant, you meet so many interesting and exciting people!” exclaimed the former flight attendant for American Airlines. “Many travelers enjoy the journey more with family, friends, and pets,” she said, “and American Traveler can find housing accommodations suitable for any arrangement.”
Kelly spends free time with boyfriend Allan and canine companion Lucy. They love to go boating and do some of their own traveling any chance they get. You’re in excellent hands with this “go-getter” of a Placement Consultant. Her reputation in the industry is unsurpassed and her expertise and diligence impeccable.
“Thanks for your hard work and dedication Kelly. We’re fortunate to have you on the American Traveler team,” said Managing Director, Diane Bok. To work with Kelly or any one of our dedicated Consultants, call 800-884-8788 today or apply online. |
