Hi gang, I hope you're doing well and enjoying the long awaited summer months.  Before I forget, I hope all of you had a memorable National Nurses Week and that not only your employer but your friends and family all took the time to remember you during the week long celebration.  I am so proud of our profession and the strides that is has made in my more than 20 years of nursing (you know that's all I admit to).

This month's issue is packed with our normal full plate.  You'll find headline nursing and healthcare news, NursingAlerts from the NursingBar.com (both May and June), and this month's special feature highlights award winning nursing websites from Nurse-Recruiter.com's own Nursing Excellence Award.

Our featured article this month is by a professional travel nurse from FASTAFF.  She writes a great article and for those of you that have thought about a travel nursing career, I'm sure you'll find some important answers to questions you may have about this career option.

We've also added some great new employers to the site over the last couple of months.  Including a couple new travel agencies, some work from home case management and advise nurse positions, flu clinic positions and several new hospitals in the state of Florida will be going online before the end of the month.  In fact, we now have more than 12,000 positions posted on our site as of today.  Most importantly, Nurse-Recruiter.com will always allow you to view jobs and apply to those positions in complete privacy.  We will never force you to add your resume to our database and we'll never sell you information to any third parties.

Have a great summer enjoying the pool, picnics, the beach, hiking, camping and all the fun summer activities.  Remember, it is as important to take care of yourself as it is to take care of your patients and your family.  God bless,

Pat Mahan
Founder

Three Years to Redefine Insanity
by: Cynthia Hobrock, RN, CVOR - Fastaff Travel Nurse

I once thought that travel nursing was something I could never do. I suppose there is no rational reason why I had come to that conclusion, but after my family had grown and left the home, I realized I had more time on my hands. Frankly, I was getting bored and wanted to spice things up, become more adventurous.

Then one day, a friend pulled me aside and talked to me about travel nursing. Though I had never thought about it before, I knew it was something I should at least consider.

Having run the typical rat race and having not achieved some goals I had envisioned, I was quickly drawn to the financial benefits of travel nursing. After all, if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result each time, $18 an hour was proving truly insane. So with this goal in mind, I made a decision, albeit hesitantly, to venture down the road I thought I could never take. After talking with several travel nursing agencies I took an assignment with FASTAFF. With a pay rate of up $40 per hour, guaranteed overtime and fully paid travel and housing, traveling with FASTAFF has proven to be a very wise decision. And my recruiter has been terrific!

Recently FASTAFF was awarded the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations Certification for Healthcare Staffing Services. FASTAFF nurses are of the highest caliber as the preceding story will attest to, so read on!
