As the New Year approaches, it's a great opportunity to and ask yourself if your lifestyle is delivering everything you want. Is your career moving forward, are you meeting new people, seeing new places, learning new things? Is your appetite for adventure being satisfied?

“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 jobs, said Occupational Therapist, Mike, but there’s more to a travel position with American Traveler. Mike was a bit anxious before he started his first travel therapy job with us, but his consultant made sure that all his unknowns became 'knowns'. "To be honest, I felt like I was asking too many questions, but my consultant assured me that answering questions was the most important part of her job."
