Travel Nursing Jobs – How To Get Hired While Traveling As A Nurse

Do you want to find out how you can travel and make use of your nursing degree while at it?

Nurses all over the world take heed. You now have a unique opportunity to travel the world while working in your chosen field. You can travel to different parts of the world, stay and work for more or less than 3 months, while sharpening your nursing skills, and getting paid handsomely for it.

It’s a chance of lifetime. Fresh graduates and newly certified nursing practitioners are indeed in luck. This is also a great opportunity for old timers and seasoned nurses that want a change of lifestyle and to add more adventure to their professional lives.

Nursing professionals are not evenly distributed globally. There are a lot of capable nurses in some areas while some locations just don’t have adequate nurses to fill local health care demands. Travel nursing and the Travel Nursing Industry has developed in response to the nursing shortage in which nurses travel to work temporary short-term nursing positions.

You have to review your qualifications. To get hired for the position, you must have a valid LPN or RN license and at least a year of experience in a clinical setting is also required by most recruiters. If you are certified to handle special areas, your chances of getting assignments are higher.

Look for reliable agencies with a proven track record. If you know someone that is already working as a travel nurse, you can ask for help, contacts, and recommendations. Researching agencies online is another good way to start.

Applying can be a bit of a burden because a lot of paper work has to be done. However if you have completed the generic requirements, applying can be a breeze. Ensure your resume is up to date and free of errors. Make copies of your license and other applicable certifications such as your CPR card.

It is the agencies responsibility to profile you based on your qualifications as affirmed by your application papers. The agency will then search through temporary job postings to identify those that match your profile. If an ideal match is considered, the agencies will process and negotiate with the concerned organization or individual.

Depending on the negotiation, an agreement will take place between agency and establishment. Then, you will be contacted for a briefing. You should ask a lot of questions and carefully scrutinize the assignment being offered. Make sure to ask for the complete details. Housing, benefits, work hours, pay rate, and 401 (k) plans are just some of the details you should inquire about.

If you are fully informed and find your self interested in a position, the agency will arrange an interview, usually by phone. Assuming a successful interview, a formal contract will be prepared by the agency and sent to you for a signature. In a few days time, you can be on your way to adventure.

Remember that it is also important that you have the ability to be flexible and adjust to different work environments. You need be able to embrace this lifestyle because it requires a great deal of absence away from home. This is a great opportunity to learn and make new friends. It is a wonderful experience you will surely love.

Travel Writing: How to Make Money Blogging About Your Travels

Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money for sharing your adventures with the world? Using the web and a simple blog, this couldn’t be easier. There are just a few simple, yet hidden techniques for making a healthy income for blogging about your travels.


In fact, the number of underground travelers who hold no jobs, yet make cash for writing about their  travels is growing by the day. We keep our mouths shut about our techniques as we visit worldwide destinations and get paid for telling the world about it. I know there have got to be great people out there who deserve to travel and want this information, so I’ve decided to share a few of our techniques:

1)   Own Your Blog. Sites like Blogger, Myspace, and BlogSpot are no good for our purposes, because you can’t tweak the site to make a profit very easily. Instead, if you buy a domain for 10 bucks and then install WordPress, you now have the platform to make it extremely profitable.

2)    Utilize PPC (pay-per-click) to get started. You won’t make a massive income off of this right away, but you can easily make 5-10 bucks a day in the beginning. That may not sound like a lot… but it’s enough for a meal every day or a flight after a month, and the number only gets bigger as your blog grows in readership.


3)    Collect names and email addresses.
You want to do this so that you can bring your readers back to your blog. Very few people ‘bookmark’ a site any longer, but if you email your readers every time you post a new article, you will grow your readership at an exponential rate.

4)    Offer an RSS (Real Simple Syndication) subscriptions. Don’t let this intimidate you. Setting this up is as simple as checking a box on your blog’s options. RSS is another way for your readers to keep up-to-date with your blog. Insead of you emailing them, their RSS reader of choice will automatically show them the newly posted content. The more they see your content, the better chance they’ll click on an ad (and therefore, the better chance you’ll get paid)

5)    Sell a product that will interest your readers. Once you are up and running, you will see your readership growing as well. Now it’s time to really monetize your site. This is where affiliate marketing comes in. This is simply taking a commission for any customer you send to another product (considering they buy the product). So, every now and again, make a blog post about the affiliate product you are promoting. When your readers see this, those who are interested will click on your ‘affiliate link,’ and if they buy, you get paid. Easy as that. Becoming an affiliate is always free, and there are thousands of products begging for active affiliates.


By the way, affiliate commissions are typically 50% to 75%. Gigantic, and very profitable.


6)    Create your own product.
The only problem with affiliate marketing is that the product is completely out of your control and you only take a part of the cut. Once you have a bunch of blog posts, you can bundle them together and make an ‘ebook.’ Sell this to your loyal readers, and you’ll be surprised at how many of them will pay for the content they’re getting for free anyway!


There are bloggers out there who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for writing about their passions. My instincts tell me you’d be happy with a few hundred or thousand dollars extra per week, so start taking action on these ideas. They’re not complicated, they just require action. The best part is, once they’re set up, they can all be automated and can take place without your presence!

Question by inkinc0: What is a good way to travel a really long distance with very little money?
I need to travel from Georgia to Canada. I can get like maybe 200 dollars but I need as much of it as possible once I arrive in Canada. So what is a good really cheap way of traveling? I also suffered extremely bad nerve damage in my foot about a year ago and I am just now getting to the point where I can walk again. Therefor I can’t walk long distances and I can’t move quickly so keep that in mind when suggesting a method of travel.

Best answer:

Answer by Ken
I was going to suggest hitchhiking, but with a bad foot that’s probably out.

Go on Craigslist and see if you can share a ride with someone. That would only cost you half the gas. Or maybe someone would take you for free if you do all the driving.

Either that or Greyhound are going to be your cheapest alternatives.

Question by brian: Is it possible to travel by bus from Hanoi to Laos? How is the border crossing?
I am planning to visit Hanoi again, and I am considering going to Laos. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so, is a bus travel possible? How much and how long will the travel take? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Lucky&Tye
Yes it is possible as I did it a few years ago. Prices will have changed by then but they run over night and the border crossing is fine but pretty filthy (actually the worst toilet I have ever seen in my ten years of backpacking, it was 10cm deep in excrement =)
