Hello, I'm an Emergency Room nurse in Michigan. In the next year or two I’m thinking about buying an RV and doing some Travel Nursing around the country. However, because of chronic staffing shortages in ER, I’m thinking about switching to another specialty that might not so stressful as I travel from hospital to hospital. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim,

I am a travel nurse and have been doing ICU and critical care. It is easy to get an assignment and it is the specialty with the highest bill rate. I have been traveling in a motor home and it is great.

Mine is currently for sale. Let me know if you want it. Very Happy Take care.

I'm not sure what you'd be interested in, but I've heard there are a lot of L&D and ICU positions available. I get a newsletter every week from Access Nurses with a list of open jobs and I see those two specialities the most. Good luck traveling! Very Happy Very Happy
