Has there ever been someplace special that you wanted to visit? This week's question fantasizes about the jet-setting lifestyle of a travel nurse, and we want to know:


 


If you could become a travel nurse, where would you go? Or, if you're already a travel nurse, tell us about some of your favorite places and where you've been.

I would love to go to Paris, London, Germany, Japan, China and Italy. Those are my top picks for when and if I become a travel nurse. Really anywhere in Europe sounds appealing!

 Great question!


I still have to finish my RN training and look into MSN, but Alaska for the hunting and fishing is very appealing.  I had my buddies laughing about working in a remote part of AK like on "Northern Exposure" during the hunting/fishing season.  I really would like to see the Northern Lights.  


Working overseas for a contractor in Saudi or ME would allow for great R&Rs to Australia and Europe.  I love the Alps and motorcycle riding there.  I'd also like to take a photo safari in Africa.  Might be fun to try "Drs w/out Borders" for a spell and tag a R&R at end of 6-12 month tour.

So many places!  I'd go back to England first, then on to France, Italy, and Egypt.  Here in the US I would go to the western states and NYC.

I would enjoy working in either Montana or Alaska. My daughter leaves in MOntana and I have always wanted to see Alaska the clear air and the Northern lights  hear is beutiful. I have been to Canada and it was beautiful; I hear Alaska is equally beautiful.

I would like to start working in Hawaii. I loved being there on vacation for several weeks; and it would be wonderful to return there for a bit.


Next I would want to go to Japan. Then to Italy; Australia; and New Zealand.


I just need experience first though!

Wow....so many places I would love to travel and work as a nurse.  Let's see, Peru, Great Britain, Hawaii, pretty much anyplace tropical.  My only concern might be having to work in sub standard conditions depending on what country I ended up in.  I don't mean sub standard as in comfort, I mean sub standard as in supplies, technology, equipment, having access to meds, etc.

There are so many great and beautiful places to travel and see. To volunteer as a nurse in Africa or Haiti would be great. Allergies makke it impossible for me to go to a tropical country, but the reservations in Montana could use nurse as the outer regions in Alsaka. There is a need for a nurse volunteer about any where you look. There is a group called "Volunteers in Medicine" that can help a person find a place that needs volunteers.

My husband is a Traveling Nurse. He has been on duty in several states. We have enjoyed traveling together (for his jobs) in Nevada, California, South Carolina, and Florida. We eventually look forward to travel nursing positions in other countries, also in Hawaii and Alaska!

I guess if I was a travel nurse, I would like to go to a very rural area of the US that needed nurses.

So many places, not enough time. In the US, Hawaii, Colorado, Alaska, Maine, California, and Utah. Don't ask me, but I thought these places would be awesome to work in for a short time. Outside of the US, there's Ireland, Greece, Russia, India, China, and Rome. Exotic places and I know no one. Just get away from Chipley, that would be my main thought!!!!!!!!!!
