This week I am sooo excited to cover some very important topics with an experienced travel nurse, Ryan, who has been to Hawaii, California, Arizona, Washington and Indiana. We get into topics like licensure, social media and a travel nursing community he has created called “Travel Nurse Takeover”. If you haven’t checked it out, you need to get involved (as a bystander or participant) in this community. Its free and ran by travel nurses only!
