A have-to-have book for anyone thinking of travel nursing

Great book. Gives good insight to this adventerous world of travel nursing. I definitely recommend this book.

Wonderful Resource!

After searching for any books on Travel Nursing, I came across this book. The ONLY one!! I am currently in the process of becoming a travel nurse and this is just what I needed! I recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to become a travel nurse. It has really answered many of my questions. It gives you a timeframe of what to do, what all paperwork you need, ways to negotiate with a company, even a thorough list of travel companies and what they offer!! An excellent much-needed resource for the new traveling nurse.

SUPER REFERENCE!!

I came across this book through another fruitless search on finding information for the Travelling Nurse. What a find! This book is a definate invaluable resource for nurses who are considering entering the profession of travel nursing. It contains information on how to get started, "the tricks of the trade", where to find other resources...If I were to take only one book with me in my travels, it would definately be this one!

THE MOST INFORMATIVE - FANTASTIC - BOOK!!!! U NEED THIS!

After several unsuccesful attempts to get information on travel nursing, I stumbled upon this book. This is a number one book that explains EVERYTHING! The reading is professional, objective, and informative. Everyone that is considering travel nursing needs to read this book. I wished that it was longer. I really enjoyed reading this book, and couldn't put it down. Thank you!

very helpful!!

This book was extremely helpful to me because I was just starting out as a travel nurse. It told me all about things that I had never even considered, including taxes, negotiating for benefits that I need, etc... I also like the section in the back with the listing of companies and room to take notes. Not sure if this book would be helpful to someone who has been a travel nurse for a while, but for a new traveler I highly recommend it. The author is very nice about answering any other questions via email.
