Traveling as a PA?

My fiancee and I were thinking of doing the traveling nursing thing for a while after she finishes school, but recently she decided to change to a PA instead of a RN (still pretty early on in classes and such, so nothing lost there). My question is, are there programs out there for PAs to travel like there are for RNs? Has anyone done this and can they recommend anything?

Thanks

Thanks, we talked about it some and one of the main reasons she chose to change was because she was worried about what we would do once she starts her 2 year clinical for the RN since she wouldn't be working then. I told her we'd figure something out. Besides, from what I've read, a PA looks to be a 3-4 year program, meaning she'd be in school for 6-8 years since she's only able to do about 2 classes at once now, sometimes only 1 on those difficult classes.
