usage of traveling nurses. Only through education can these nurses be
properly prepared for their next travel nursing assignment.

2007, and Your Road Map to Travel Nursing) has become an industry
leader in providing quality information to traveling nurses and recruiting
firms. Whether it’s your first or fifth assignment, there is always
something new to learn with this book.
The Highway
Hypodermics series has been a finalist in the USA Book News Medical
Resources contest for two previous editions, with the last edition, Travel

Testimonials:
I really enjoyed your book. I have been
thinking about traveling for a while, but never felt I had all the info to
make such a drastic move. This book has given me the courage to go ahead
with my plans.
I read the book in a couple of hours. I
have been thinking seriously about becoming a traveler - out of state. I
already work for an agency and work for a hospital about 72 miles from
home. I like it. I think that me and my husband and son who will be 2 at
the time of travel towards the end of the year will be going. Lots of good
sound information re the traveling career - good and bad.
I bought the book a few months ago. I
have been trying to get myself to travel since last January. (My husband
lost his job of 23 years last August, Panic!) Having trouble making myself
leave my children to do this. BUT, this book greatly helped me organize
myself and answer questions I had about traveling.
I just wanted to thank you so much for
this book and your tips!
I purchased the book, "Hitting the Road:
A guide to travel nursing" by Shalon Kearney and it is a wonderful
resource for any healthcare professional who is considering travel
nursing. I highly encourage anyone who is considering a traveling career
to purchase their own copy!
