The demand for nurses growing – the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects that employment opportunities for nurses will grow by 15% through 2026; that’s more than 400,000 new nursing jobs. Growing parallel to that demand is the need for travel nurses. Hospitals and facilities across the country are hiring more and more travel nurses to help address staffing shortages and meet their needs for skilled nurses. This bright job outlook may have you considering travel nursing as a career path to increase your skills, move to new cities and experience new assignments. However, you may be hesitant to make the leap into travel nursing because you have concerns about…

2019 Day 6 Nurses Week – More Give Aways

2019 Day 5 Nurses Week — More Give-Aways
It’s now Day 5 of Nurses Week. If you missed the free webinar from the ANA, 2019 National Nurses Week Webinar | Nurses4Us: Elevating the Profession! I strongly suggest you watch the replay. It was a very well done presentation with some uplifting points. You have to register and can get free ceus, but just listening may improve your life and career as a nurse. Due to personal circumstances beyond my control I wasn’t able to procure as many give-aways as I have in the past. Nurses Week should never be about the gifts. No gift is going to make you feel better about your career or like your employer…
