WHO AM I?
$24.95
Well, I suppose the first thing I am is a writer who cannot stand when others refer to themselves in the third person, so I will refrain from doing so here. I am currently a travel nurse who is on assignment in Phoenix, Arizona. I started my nursing career in critical care after attending Mount Carmel School of Nursing in Columbus, Ohio. My first assignment was in winter 1995 and I still recall the conversation I had with my recruiter. I told her, “I’m sure that no other traveler has requested this before, but I would like to go to Hawaii.” Thirteen weeks spent on the beaches of Hawaii, versus shoveling snow in Ohio, and I was hooked.
I have since completed over thirty separate travel contracts and have worked in Florida, California (from San Diego to L.A. to San Francisco), Arizona, and Hawaii. I currently hold nursing licenses in over half a dozen states and travel anywhere from six to twelve months every year. During this time, I have had contracts cancelled, worked in large teaching facilities licensed for over 1000 beds, arrived on assignments to find trashed housing, received over $10,000 in bonuses in a single year, worked in facilities facing strikes and facilities bought by other healthcare systems, and even had the CEO of a major travel company fly me to their home office to talk about ways the company could improve its traveler services. Does all this make me feel special? No, but it does make me believe that I can offer a great deal of advice to anyone wanting to become a travel nurse. It is my hope that after reading my book, anyone considering this career would have the confidence and knowledge to experience a lifestyle that I have truly come to love.
An Amazon web search shows several books on the topic of travel nursing. I personally do not sell on Amazon because of some of their policies regarding authors. However, I would always encourage you to compare the resources on travel nursing. 
If you want to, buy mine and theirs. I would always advise someone to gain as much information as possible when embarking on any of life’s adventures. However, if you are looking for a comprehensive guide to get you started in the field of travel nursing, I truly believe my book is the best resource you will find.
In addition to the vast amount of information included, I also extend the offer to help my readers choose a travel company that is right for them and answer all their questions along the way. There is simply no other resource with this offer to personally help get you started in the field of travel nursing.
