I plan on travelling as soon as I am able, and from what I read in the forums, it would seem that travel nursing requires a lot of time to organize an assignment.
Ideally, I would like to travel continually for a year/18 months with short spells (maybe 4-6 weeks) between assignments at home.
I am not that picky about where I would go, but of course I will be looking for quality assignments... I am not looking to get 'stuck' with assignments in areas/institutions where nobody else wants to go. I am open to 4, 8, or 13+ week long assignments.
So my question is simple; how can one successfully organize back-to-back travel assignments like this? Among other timing considerations, I know licences etc require time to get from state to state. Are enough assignments even available in this economy to make travelling my sole career for 18 months?
FYI: ICU would be my specialty and I may wish to bring my meduim sized dog along with me.
I would appreciate any/all information.
