“Highway Hypodermics: Your
Road Map To Travel Nursing” by Epstein LaRue, RN, BS, has recently been
named as a finalist in the USABookNew’s Best Books of 2005 in the career
category.
The estimated need for new
nurses will be over one million by the year 2010. According to a study
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in the year
2000, the nursing shortage in the United States will continue to grow with
an estimated twenty percent increase in the demand for nurses needed in our
nation’s health care system by the year 2020.
As a result of the vast
nursing shortage, seventy-five percent of all current hospitals have
vacancies for registered nurses. This number is directly proportional to the
need for the travel nurse. As the patient numbers increase, so does the
need for quality nurses to take care of those patients. The law of supply
and demand affects nurses’ salaries and travel nurses rank at the top of the
scale.
The minute Epstein started
thinking about travel nursing; she started gathering information for this
book. Now Epstein is sharing the wealth of information that she gathered
with other nurses who are thinking about going into travel nursing, and for
those nurses who are currently traveling, but wondering where to go next and
who can give them the best deal. This book includes the following chapters:
An Introduction To Travel Nursing, The Rewards And The Drawback Of Travel
Nursing, Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Travel Nurse, Getting Your Resume
Polished, Understanding The Structure Of The Travel Company, Critical
Elements In Choosing A Travel Company, Choosing The Location And Hospital,
Your Contract With The Hospital, Preparing For Take Off, When The Times Get
Tough, Working Strikes, My First Travel Nursing Assignment Journal, Stories
From Other Travel Nurses, Hospitals, Destinations, and Travel Company
Profiles.
