I have been travel nursing in my montana w/DH since my "retirement" from hospital nursing. I'm currently in CA at Longbeach Mem Hosp. I'm a NICU nurse and there is a big call for them, I have worked AZ, NM, and have had friends who have worked other states. My original liscense is from TX and I try to work compact states where I do not have to obtain another liscens, there is now 22 of them. I would suggest contacting a travel company like Cross Country, I started w/them and will probably use them again, since I'm in CA I'm using a CA based Company that the hospital is familar with and it pays more money than Cross Country. Most nurses that have been traveling a lot use more than one company. I have only had one bad experience, most hospitals are glad you are there to help, they can dump on you also but you just have to speak up and know your nurse practice act. I'm enjoying it and have extended at most hospital that I have worked at. I've been here since August and have just extended for another 13 weeks. If you have any more specific questions you can "pm" me. If you go to cross country Janet & Emily are great, tell them Pat sent you.
