Friday, June 18th, 2010 Floating & Cross Polinating Specialties
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010A new trend is developing in travel nursing jobs that all travel nurses should educate themselves about. The trend is working multiple specialties. The recession has created some restlessness in hospitals. Hospitals hold concern over committing to a traveler for only one unit or one specialty. The recession has validated their concern with census fluctuations. So, to protect against committing to a traveler for 13 weeks for a need that may dissipate, hospitals are now requesting travel nurses to be willing to float to more than specialty. For example, “Nurse must be willing to work ER and float to Med-Surg”. This shouldn’t come to much as a surprise. During travel nuring’s peek, hospitals often requested the willingness of travelers to float to “like units”. With the recession, it has morphed into secondary specialties. Some hospitals even require travelers to be willing to float to another hospital in their system…up to 25 miles away. Travel nursing remains a great career choice but the demands of flexibility and skill set and professional certifications has increased accordingly.

Nursing on the Rebound
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010The Great Recession has caused many nurses to re-think their career path. Many “hunkered down” and took a job they viewed as secure vs. a job they truly desired during these tough economic times. Now, economic indicators show the economy is on the mend. Travel nursing jobs are starting to gain in volume and frequency. Per Diem nursing jobs are opening back up. There will certainly be some shifting in healthcare as registered nurses leave jobs to find opportunities that are more personally rewarding. Many travel nurses that put their desire to travel on hold will be getting back into the market. Hospital census will begin to pick up as the job market improves. Trauma season will certainly fill some hospital beds. The bottom line is that we have made it through the worst part of a bad economy and things will continue to get better. It is a great time to venture out and look at what career options are available. Registering with Expedient Medstaff takes less than 5 minutes and you will also receive weekly email updates showing the jobs that are available. Try travel nursing…it’s a job that comes with a vacation!
Travel Nursing Jobs On The Rise
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Travel nursing jobs are on the rise. To put it into perspective, the travel nursing jobs available today are likely three times those available in April 2009. However, jobs still tend to get filled quickly…it is like the proverbial dogs fighting over a single bone scenerio. Nurses that have a desire to practice their profession in travel nursing have to be ready to go as the jobs are released. Success is going to the nurses that are qualified and have a predetermined acknowledgement of what jobs they will work. Expedient Medstaff understands that travel nurses are now registering with several travel companies in order to “cast a wider net” and increase their odds of landing a travel nursing assignment. In the interest of making registration easier for travel nurses and per diem nurses alike, Expedient Medstaff has totally revamped our application / registration process. It now only takes a few minutes of time to register with us. Once travel nurses register, Expedient Medstaff will create an up to date resume / travel nurse profile and market this to open jobs that are of interest to travel nurses. We are confident that our easier registration process and the professional profile we create for each nurse will increase the chances of travel nurses finding their dream assignments. Try our registration process…let us know what you think!
