American
Traveler travel nurse Jennifer
Mark, RN met her husband-to-be
just two weeks into her travel
nurse assignment in Walnut
Creek, California last year.
After only four months of
dating, the two were engaged and
the rest…travel nurse history.
Jenny and Matt were married last September
at Hope
College
in Michigan, and
as seen here, are
thoroughly
enjoying
their
honeymoon on the
Big
Island of Hawaii. After many luaus,
Jenny came
home to a travel nurse job
in Tucson,
and hopes
to
soon settle down in Denver for a life
full of
happiness
and
adventure with her newly found
love!
On behalf of the entire American Traveler team,
we wish you a lifetime of good health, love, and happiness together.

Southwest Washington
Medical Center
Travel Nursing to Vancouver
Area Facts/Things to Do
 Travel
nursing in the Pacific Northwest U.S. is
an adventure all its own. Washington
State and Oregon offer outstanding
hiking (the Oregon Trail), camping and
wildlife opportunities, and just two
hours north of Vancouver by car is
Seattle, where shopping at Pike Place
Market is a must and lunch or dinner 500
feet up in the Space Needle is an
 exhilarating
experience not to be missed. There’s
whale watching off the coast and across
the river in Portland—countless state
parks, breathtaking mountain views, and
a whole new world waiting for travel
nurses to explore. Up for a weekend
excursion to Anchorage? It’s roughly
three and half hours by plane.
Things to pack
– a camera, sturdy shoes with good arch
support, clothing for warm
days and cool nights, a compass, a tour
book of things to do in the Pacific
Northwest, and an affinity for exercise.
Things to bring
back – a piece of petrified redwood,
a thing or two from Canada and maybe
Alaska since you are so close, crafts
from local artists, and plenty of
breathtaking pictures of landscape and
wildlife.
Hospital Highlights
 |
Southwest Washington Medical Center is
located in Vancouver, Washington, just
across the Columbia River from Portland,
Oregon. It’s a large hospital with over
400 beds, 600 doctors and a medical
support staff of more than 3,200 skilled
healthcare professionals. Southwest is
one of only three trauma centers in the
Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area and
has been recognized six times in the
past 12 years as one of America’s Top
100 hospitals, winning awards in both
orthopedics and cardiovascular
categories. The Vancouver mega-hospital
delivered more than 4,000 babies in
2006, admitted more than 25,000
inpatients, and treated over 100,000 ER
visitors. Needless to say, Southwest
Washington Medical Center is a busy
hospital in search of well-trained
travel nurses and allied health
professionals.

Meet Your American Traveler Consultant – Kelvin
Farrar
 Expert Travel Consultant for
American Traveler, Kelvin Farrar, says he loves to help new candidates realize the benefits of travel nursing. He’s traveled the world over himself and swaps stories with travel nurses to break the ice.
“I feel that what makes me
a great consultant is that I try to have the
travel nurses feel as comfortable as possible
with me. I try to make them feel as though they
have a friend away from home,” said Kelvin.
“Honesty is the key to a great working
relationship with my travel nurses and an open
line of communication gives them confidence in
my skills.
Kelvin was born in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire but lived in Europe most of his
early adult life. From there he moved to Hawaii
and then to Miami where he finally settled down
to have a family and from where he pursued a
career with American Traveler.
“I’ve been to countries all
over Europe and to Asia, which is a favorite
destination of mine. I rely on my world travel
experience to help travel nurses get the most
from their assignment and from the
travel
nursing experience,” Kelvin said.
Kelvin’s best advice to
first time travel nurses is to ask a lot of
questions and learn as much as possible on
assignment. Kelvin’s military background and
upbringing keeps him organized and is part of
his overwhelming desire to be a part of
something good.
“I feel like I’m making a
difference by supporting travel nurses in the
field who in turn are helping others recover and
heal.”
Kelvin’s a movie buff and enjoys a basketball
game. He derives great satisfaction
from working with the American Traveler
staff and says the company is unique in its
mission.
“American Traveler
brings a more personal touch to
travel nursing.
We’re always finding new ways to make life
better for travel nurses.” Kelvin said.
To work with Kelvin or any
other expert Travel Nursing Consultant at American
Traveler call 800-884-8788 or
Apply online.
