I am entering an LPN career and an RN online schooling. I took a break to raised my kids and is now back. Are LPN’s not welcome in the Traveling sector?

I’m a travel nurse who is single. I’m not sure how it works with entire families involved but I do know that housing is often provided by the company to the traveling nurse if they so desire which can be a huge benefit and cost-reduction arrangement if it is a couple traveling to various cities.

As with any new person on the floor, some people will be overly grateful to have you there and others will take more time to open up- that’s why I will say it does take a certain personality type to not mind being the “newbie” in a place a couple of times a year. Most hospitals that host travelers though have a staff/management that is used to working with travelers and are willing to help in any way they can.

Something else that I have heard about travel nursing is that it can be a good thing when nurses have family members that are spread out across the country.

If this is the case, travel nursing to different cities throughout the year gives the nurse an opportunity to live in the same city with a family member that they may not have otherwise gotten to live close to.
