Travel NursingRating: (votes: 0) I am a recent graduate and living in Ohio having trouble with finding a job :-//. I am 24, engaged, no kids and I was seriously considering travel nursing and wondering what everyone thinks of it... Good experience for a recent graduate? Anyone who does it? Is it worth it? What agencies are good to work for? Pros and cons? Were you hesitant working as a traveling nurse? I Just would like some information on travel nursing based on fellow nurses who have experienced or are currently doing it. Thanks!!!!! Last edit by emmie208 on Jul 22, '14 TERRIBLE idea for a new grad. A travel nurse gets, at most, one to two days of orientation and is expected to function as a full member of the staff from day #3 onward. Agencies require a minimum of a year's experience to even be considered.Sorry to deliver bad news, but that's the reality. I know it sucks to be a new grad right now.... Comment: I kind of figured that it probably wasn't the, best idea.... :-( Guess ill keep trying and, looking---thanksComment: By traveling nurse, do you mean homecare nursing? It is true, I started in homecare as a caregiver, moved to c.n.a and now working on r.n..when you start as someone who travels around..it's tough to be facilitized..which is what I am going thru now..adjustments...as far as time managment..I find a wing full of people in 8 hours is just as difficult as travel. I think it requires a broader level of attentiveness of a group of people instead of one person or a group of every 2-3 hours..just diff..
