Born to Roam
Travel nurse-turned-entrepreneur gears her agency to nomadic nurses who crave job security, Nurseweek.com:"On the strength of the nursing shortage, Terri Hill, RN, has traveled from the operating room to the boardroom of her own small but growing company, HC Travelers.
Travel nursing for the Indianapolis surgical nurse began as a lark with a purpose. It was a chance to reconnect with distant family and-at least by one nurse-alleviate California's desperate need in 1990 for operating room nurses.
With her husband and four children in tow, Hill accepted a six-week assignment to a Los Angeles-area hospital. It was a memorable month and a half of work and leisure that years later would lure her back to travel nursing and a career that she could not have imagined." ******************************************************
Have Stethoscope, Will Travel:"Nurses who are willing to live out of a suitcase, face picket lines and work in different hospitals from one week to the next are nearly doubling their hourly wage.
Hospitals in places such as California, Hawaii, Florida and New York are paying big money to recruiters for temporary staff to supplement their own employees during a national nursing shortage.
The American Journal of Nursing reported that an estimated 255,000 traveling nurses are working throughout the United States, and that some 10,000 temporary nurse positions went unfilled earlier this year.
"It's good money, but I don't just do it for the money," Mobile, Ala., resident Lois Veselits said from Estes Park, Colo. "I do it for the experience of living in other places." ******************************************************
Help Wanted? Consider Nurses with Disabilities, Donna Carol Maheady, ARNP, EdD, Nursing Spectrum:"AS THE MOTHER OF A DAUGHTER with disabilities, I've been involved in handicap advocacy efforts for many years, but it wasn't until I conducted my doctoral dissertation research1 that I learned about the contributions that nurses with disabilities can make to the profession — and the regrettably scarce resources available for this growing group of RNs.
That's why I took a giant step two years ago and created a nonprofit website for nurses and students with disabilities. Called www.ExceptionalNurse.com , the site serves as a resource network for nurses and students with disabilities. It provides links to disability-related organizations, technology, equipment, financial aid, mentors, employment opportunities, and legal issues, as well as related articles and research. Since the website's debut, more than 8,000 visitors have logged on." ******************************************************
Working As A Temp, How to make it a successful experience, by Jeanne Willard:"You've probably worked along side registry nurses in your unit and thought "I could do that." Maybe you decided it would be a great chance to expand your clinical knowledge, check out other hospitals, or perhaps you'd just like to whittle down that credit card balance. With the current nursing shortage, the idea of working as a temporary nurse can be an attractive option. If you are an experienced nurse with solid clinical skills you're in great demand. Most hospitals use registry staff to meet the demands of a fluctuating census and to manage labor costs. The rewards can include additional income, job comparison, a flexible schedule, and an opportunity to learn from your peers. If you're ready to make the leap, here are tips to make this experience a successful one." ****************************************************** ******************************************************
