Hi everyone....

I am new to the travel nursing gig, but I am looking forward to the challenge. I have been a RN for 3.5 years but was a LPN for 25 years. Since becoming a RN, I have worked mostly in Ambulatory Surgery, Rehab and Hospice. When I was a LPN, I did med sur, LTAC and telemerty.
I have spoke to a few different companies but havent gotten the right vibe from them yet. Is that normal? I know they are trying to sell a product to me but I just dont feel right with a few of them.
Is it true that most travel companies want a year of travel experience before they will sign you up? I wasn't sure if that was the truth or not. I am looking to work in the southeast if possible, either Miss, Ala, Fl, Ga or La. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
