I've been a nurse 3 and a half years now.
About a year and a half doing floor nursing, 6 months of step down ICU, and a year and a half doing ICU.
I'm waiting on my two-year mark for ICU (that'll be in August).
Anyway, recently brushed up the resume and have been thinking about starting travel in August or September. Right now, just been doing a lot of reading.
My main question is this: When should I start submitting my resume to companies and contacting agencies for assignments? Basically, when do I get the ball rolling?
A former traveler I work with said three months in advance is a good time to secure an assignment. He also said that about a month into an assignment, you want to think about where you'll be going next and get that set up.
Secondly, is there anything I need to do tax-wise? I know I have to declare a state of residency (which I have). There anything different I need to file for taxes?
That's all I can think of right now. If anyone has any additional resources or tips, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!
