2. Get Organized—Moving to a new place requires a lot of planning, and being organized will make the process smoother. Make a master list of everything that needs to be done and follow it diligently. Work with your recruiter to make sure that all your documentation, licensing and records are up to date and any paperwork is completed ahead of time. If there are any questions about the contract or any part of the agreement—overtime, pay rate, float policy or benefits—ask your travel agency.
3. Make the Most of It—Since you’ve decided to become an Alabama travel nurse, make the most of every situation, both at work and after hours. Be a positive and flexible member of the nursing team and always be willing to try new things. Even in a challenging situation, your skills and knowledge will be expanded. When not at work, take the time to really enjoy your surroundings. Experience local diversity, immerse yourself in a different lifestyle and make memories to last a lifetime.
