Hey there,
I am currently in first travel assignment in Chicago. I'm an ICU nurse. I like it, but I don't think I want to stay here during the winter. I'm not sure where to go next???? Any suggestions!?!?!

Travel Nursing lets you work where you want...

I would go wherever you want!

TThere are plenty of Travel Nurse Jobs in California. The pay is great, but the cost of living is high. I guess it all depends on what you want to do.

If you are an ICU nurse, you shouldn't have any problem finding another job with the company you are with, or any travel nursing company for that matter.

Hi, here are a few of my sources:

[url] http:www.Travelnursingcentral.com[url] -- This is not a free site, but it's less than $3 a month and has a rating area for agencies and hospitals created by nurses. It's GOOD.

[url]http:www.highwayhypodermics.com[url]--For travel nurses by a travel nurse. She also maintains a massive listing of agencies and ranks them based on services. Great link list also.

Too cold in Chicago

Like any good person from Arizona... I'm going SOUTH for the winter! In fact, I'm headed to Florida next month, almost out of hurrican season. California is a good choice, we spent winter there year before last... well, in fact, our last winters has been in Arizona, Central California, Mississippi, and Florida next.. Only thing I lack is souther Texas.

And for shortbus...
GO SOONERS!!!! :)

Nothing could be finer

Than winter in the Carolinas.

Well, maybe North Carolina specifically. I'm on contract here now, near the coast, and it's, not too bad at all! There is also a pretty big need for ICU nurses. Right now the weather is gorgeous. The pay is alright, but the cost of living is super low, in most areas.

I am in Arizona right now and love it so far. Maybe you should consider it. I know they need many more nurses where I am. The company I am there with is Adex Medical staffing.
