    You can travel as a practitioner. To travel as an RN, you have to have at least 1.5-2 yrs experience, depending on the hospital and/or your specialty. If you can work and get your Master's, that would probably be your best bet since you can't travel until you have more experience anyway

    There aren't as many assignments for nurse practitioners, but they're out there.

    I am traveling and working on my MS. I am doing it in nursing education through Walden University online. Its a great program and school, so if you are interested in a Masters for teaching, management, or informatics, check out the school.
