postheadericon Travel Nurses Test Drive Career Moves for Months at a Time

Just like a guru or traveling project manager, professional nurses are starting to benefit from a growing trend throughout the US economy.  Nurses came to day test drive potential hospitals, doctors offices, practices and even private jobs.  A whole new segment of the nursing industry is opening up for nurses that are willing to travel across the country and work temporary to medium-term contract jobs as a travel nurse.

Nurses might be called on to work for three to 60 than nine months in the hospital on the opposite side of the country from where they live today.  The typically paid on a contractual basis in the traveling costs are usually included.  There's a long history of travel nursing within the medical profession.  Many nurses are working to rewrite the concept of what travel nursing is.  It's no longer necessarily a maiden that accompanies an elderly person on a long trip or voyage across the country or even across the ocean.  Nursing professionals need not be women at all and the preconceptions of the past have continued to rapidly break down over the last couple of decades.  They have been reformed with highly trained, technical professionals, often times specialized in specific areas of medical practice.

The job now requires highly skilled and talented professionals often times even pays bonuses for nurses with unique capabilities in areas from midwifery to sedation or even x-ray technicians.

postheadericon Applying Goal Strategies to Personal Moves

My associate recently sold his web software company for mega-bucks and decided to relocate in the Northern California real estate  for a brief stop over until he and his girl friend Alicia figured out what they really wanted to do.

Since the real estate marketplace was in the midst of downswing, they had decided whether to look at houses for rent or buy a house.  If buying a house, should they go for a mortgage and get mortgage quotes or buy the house straight out?

Since Alicia was the financial planner of the family, my associate decided to let her come up with the positives and the negatives
regarding to the situation.   She used the Tangible Vision that she
built and connected together.  The Tangible Vision delineated their future goals and objectives, their current situation and their values.

She went to NationalRelocation,com and a few other sites to determine what was our best options.  After a few days of comparing and contrasting the current market situation with their Tangible Vision, they decided to live in Northern
California.
