Although
currently only a small percentage of
America’s nurses and allied health
professionals engage a travel career,
newcomers every year join the unique and
rewarding travel nurse lifestyle for
high pay, career advancement, and great
travel nurse benefits.
“The world is just
too large to stay in one place,” said RN, Mindy, on the way to her first
travel nurse assignment in Phoenix. The
26-year-old healthcare professional from
Connecticut decided to become a travel
nurse to instill positive life change
and fulfill an inner drive to help
others. “I love meeting and caring for
people,” she said. “Besides, nurse
travel is exhilarating and
life-altering. It’s something I just
NEED to do.”
Great pay and benefits come with most travel nurse jobs, said Occupational Therapist, Mike,
but there’s more to it than that. “I
always wanted to go to Hawaii and |
this year I’m
doing it thanks to American Traveler,”
he said. “Finally, I’ll realize my life destiny as the greatest American surfer of all time,” he chuckled, taking his ‘fifty-something’ body down off the stair master and chugging a Gatorade.
Mike and Mindy
share a thirst for life and the desire
to do something new in 2007. Call it
resolve or determination—travel nurses
call it freedom and flexibility.

All current and past American Travelers get bonus cash when they refer a traveler* who successfully completes a 13 week assignment or longer. New travelers are eligible too once both the referee and the referrer have completed their first assignment. Can you imagine making an extra $6,000 a year just by referring qualified travelers to our network? That’s one referral each month!
5 Easy Tips for Building Referrals
| 1. |
Talk about travel nursing to colleagues often. You’d be surprised how many nurses don’t know about travel opportunities or may be afraid to take the first step. Boast about outstanding American Traveler client support. |
| 2. |
Share your American Traveler experiences freely and with confidence. Highlight life-enhancing benefits and compensation; personal freedom and professional development. |
| 3. |
Become a Mentor—leadership begets leadership. Tell prospects to call or email you any time with questions about traveling. |
| 4. |
Look at referrals as a business. Attend network functions regularly and build American Traveler brand image. Referrals are an additional source of income – especially important this time of year! Talk to other health professionals about what you love most about your experiences and the bonuses will roll in! |
| 5. |
Never feel as though you must cajole a professional into traveling. Casual conversation and an open mind will usually do the trick. Once you ‘connect’ with a prospect, newfound colleagues and lifetime friendships are sure to follow. |
GOOD LUCK!
LIVE WELL AND PROSPER!

Hospital Facts:
 NorthBay Healthcare has been serving Solano
County, California with a tradition of community
for almost 50 years. The 132-bed facility
specializes in expanded NICU, ER, and
state-of-the-art CCU. The hospital’s most
recent
annual report is telling of its
contributions to cancer survival, Alzheimer’s
research, cardiac rehabilitation, and success
with diabetes’ patients young and old. The
hospital has recently added two outstanding
vascular surgeons to its staff and has made
significant foray into minimally invasive
urinary incontinence procedures. NorthBay
Medical Center delivers more than 1500 babies
each year and has the most sophisticated
services for premature and ill newborns within a
50 mile radius. NorthBay is accredited by The Joint Commission
and is unquestionably well-grounded in its
mission to serve the needs of local community.
This assignment certainly ranks high on the list
of preferred travel nurse jobs.
Area Facts / Things to
do:
So what’s Solano County all
about? Well, it’s in Northern California and
sits about midway between San Francisco and Sacramento. The climate is temperate and its
location proximate to wine country in Napa and
Sonoma. There’s always free beer tasting and
tours at the Budweiser Brewery and lots of
funky-flavored treats to be had at the
Jelly Belly jelly bean factory. There are
plenty of arts and entertainment venues in the
county, great golf, excellent public
transportation, and of course beautiful San
Francisco Bay. Hike marsh trails and see
wildlife at
Rush Ranch, or just head for the mountains
to hike, camp, or grab a cabin for the weekend.
Housing Accommodations:
While working at NorthBay,
you’ll be housed at Bridgeport Ranch located in Fairfield, CA.
Amenities include pool, spa, fitness center,
laundry, clubhouse, 24-hour business center, and
high-speed Internet. It’s a pet friendly (with
restrictions), lifestyle oriented community
centrally located and with discerning residents.
As usual, American Traveler never skimps when it
comes to free private deluxe accommodations.
Travel nurses love it here.

A message from one of our
working travel nurse ...
 People think Arizona is just a desert-hot and dry climate. But,
that is huge mistake. It is a great place to live. Want to escape from the extreme heat in the summer, go up North in the higher elevation or take a short trip South and escape to the beach in Rocky Point Mexico. There are many things to explore and to do here.
One of these places is hiking in the White Mountains-3 hours East of Phoenix. There are 200 hiking trails there. My husband and I went on several hiking trails where the higher in elevation we got, the cooler it got but the view was spectacular.
Here's a snapshot hiking in the
White Mountains.
Following the hike, we stayed in a
Log Cabin-hot tub inside-nestled
along trees and mountains. What a
place to get away to see the beauty
of Nature --quiet and relaxing.

popular destination for
adventurers seeking the
"real outdoors".

Documentation, documentation, documentation… it
never stops in this business. Not for travel
nurses or their Consultants. Having only a Green
Card to work the U.S., American Traveler expert
Consultant Olive McLaughlin was sworn in as a
United States citizen on September 15, 2006.
“It’s one thing to be able to work in the U.S.,
it’s another to be able to vote,” said Olive. |

EDIE HEYER
American Traveler Consultant, Edie Heyer loves fast pace and
change. Born in the Windy City home to the Bears, she’s a Chicago girl that’s done big banking in New
York and completed studies at the University of Wisconsin. Edie’s been placing talented travel nurses
in top-paying positions across the nation for nearly five years at American Traveler. In her spare
time, she enjoys barbeques in the backyard and playing golf. “Though you won’t be seeing me on a PGA
tour anytime soon,” she says.
Her favorite traveler story is when she got a call from an
American Traveler nurse who was traveling with a friend from North Carolina to Phoenix and whose nursing
job fell through at a competing travel nurse agency. “It’s why so many sign-up and stay on with American
Traveler,” said Edie. She was on the phone straight-away processing the traveler’s application and
looking for interviews. Edie got the nurse a high-paying travel nurse job the very next day. “That speaks volumes to the terrific team work & drive that exists at American Traveler!”
Edie says the absolute love of her life is granddaughter Victoria and the two
of them love swimming. “We’re so lucky in South Florida to do that year-round,” she said—hinting to travel nurses
looking for the sun and fun of Florida on their next nursing job.
The expert Travel Consultant enjoys finding nurses their first travel nurse job
and recommends that they be flexible and open-minded to ensure a great experience. “Don't be afraid to ask your Consultant
for suggestions and advice when deciding where and when to travel, and always look to your new travel nurse job as an
adventure,” she said.
“Thanks Edie. You’re the best! Throw some spareribs on the grill for me,” said Recruitment VP for American Traveler,
Mary Kay Hull.

Travel Nurse Freedom and Flexibility in
the New Year
New friends, fun places, extraordinary
benefits
 “Someone told me about Tucson, so I hopped on a plane to check it out. I took a travel nurse job there and ended up staying for nine years,” said Erica, a 36-year-old Physical Therapist from Boston looking to escape cold winters.
Erica since has
become somewhat of a snowbird, getting
the best of warm weather climates in the
winter and traveling north for beautiful
summers. “It’s almost too good to be
true,” she said. “American Traveler has
helped me balance life and career in
ways I never thought possible.”
Some say being a travel nurse is as good as nursing gets. Some do it for the money, while others for location and career—all do it because they care. “I leave work everyday knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life,” said Erica.
The time to travel nurse is now. Hospitals and out-patient care centers everywhere need nurses. Pay for travelers is high, and benefits like free private deluxe housing, free health insurance, free education, bonuses, 401(K), and travel reimbursements have never been better.
The New Year means different things to different people. It’s a time to implement resolutions and make your goals your reality, and for nurses it is often the time to do both… And hit the road traveling with American Traveler.
