Before you accept a travel nursing job at a new hospital, it is in your best benefit to do some research on that facility. This can consist of asking your travel nurse recruiter for the names of some other nurses who have worked at the facility, or hitting nursing forums or hospital ranking websites. First time travelers should try to find a facility that frequently employs travel RNs, so they will be properly trained and given the guidance and support to make the best out of their assignment. More experienced RNs may opt for larger, busier hospitals that may be offering higher pay rates to nurses who can hit the ground running in a fast paced environment.
