New to traveling, and don't know where to start. I love my job, but am unhappy with hospital politics. From a small mid-western town without a lot of opportunities. Also not happy with mid-western living and the harsh winters. Just looking for something new, exciting, and different.

Graduated with ADN June 2008, worked on Telemetry Unit from 6/08-4/10, and Emergency Room from 4/10-current, and also have a PRN position at a long term care facility.

Is this enough to start traveling? Should I apply for Tele positions or ER?

I will be traveling with my teenage son (who is homeschooled) and a small dog. Can I take advantage of housing for travelers (will require a 2 bedroom)?

I have been trying to do research online and am not having the greatest success. It seems that a lot of the traveling agencies require completion of a lengthy application before listing available opportunities. Also, I am not sure how my current employer will feel about being contacted by multiple agencies.

Any constructive advice is appreciated.
