Whether you’re a travel nurse in Missouri, or on assignment in Texas, you’re on your feet for long hours throughout the week. Being on your feet for prolonged periods of time can cause anything from back pain to tension in the neck. Although good tennis shoes and the occasional break can help relieve your feet while on the shift, there’s nothing quite like a good yoga practice.
Find relief, both for the body and the mind, by practicing these yoga poses that release stress and pressure from the lower back, stretch the spine, and melt away soreness in the legs. They’ll be the best few minutes, or hours, you’ve ever invested in yourself. You can thank us later.
Before diving into the first pose, start with a good yoga breath to begin releasing any stress you’re carrying and to clear your mind. Check out these asana breathing tips if you’re new to yoga.
1. Yogi Squat
The yogi squat may not be your favorite pose but it has multiple benefits! First, it’ll elongate your tired spine, it will also open your hips, stretch out your calves, and finally, aid with ankle mobility. If you’re not super flexible, you can also add a block for you to sit on and be more comfortable.
2. Supine Twist
A supine twist will open the lower back and ease up tension in the shoulders. The twist will detoxify the spinal column and rinse the spine with fresh, new oxygenated blood. Additionally, this pose helps with your digestion.
3. Happy Baby
As a travel nurse, you’ve probably noticed that after a long day at the hospital, your spine is what hurts the most. This pose not only opens up your hips but also relieves and massages any pain you may have on your back.
4. Cat-Cows
Standing for long periods of time can begin to compress your spine. With cat–cows, you’ll be able to stretch and elongate your column and relieve any pressure. Don’t forget to put thought into your breath as you’re working through this asana flow, this will add extra soothing benefits to your travel nurse yoga practice.
5. Upside-Down Forward Fold
There’s nothing quite like a good forward fold. However, in this yoga session, we’re trying to relieve any pressure on your legs, ankles, and feet. Similar to plow, the upside-down forward fold will help you stretch out your lower back and hamstrings, while not putting any strain on your neck.
Take a few minutes out of your day to do a few or all of these poses. Not only will the breathing clear your mind, but the poses will also soothe your aching body. While travel nursing can be exhilarating, it will also cause you mental and physical stress – keep things fun by taking some time for yourself and stretching out those tires muscles.
PS: Don’t forget that your breathing, is just as important as the poses you’ll be doing! Additionally, feel free to modify any pose to your body’s needs; maybe you need a little more stretching, or perhaps you need a little less. Listen to your muscles and joints.
While travel nursing has the perks of competitive pay, getting to visit new cities, and adventure, you’re still working. Each assignment you take offers new adventures, but it’s still important to take a work-free vacation as a travel nurse and enjoy yourself without worrying about your next shift. Taking even a short break in between assignments is a great way to arrive at your next assignment refreshed and ready to take on new challenges.
6 REASONS to Vacation as a TRAVEL NURSE
1. Moving Can Be Stressful
Every seasoned travel nurse learns how to be a pro at moving every few months. However, moving into a new apartment, getting used to a new city, getting accustomed to new job duties, and getting to know new coworkers and friends can take a toll on even the most extroverted traveler. Taking a work-free vacation once a year or more is a fantastic way to de-stress and enjoy leisure time before your next assignment.
2. It’s Good for You
All nurses know the importance of mental and physical health, and practicing self-care is crucial. Nursing is a hard occupation. You’re on your feet most of the day and responsible for taking care of your patients. Stress is a major cause of heart disease and high blood pressure, and studies even show that those who vacation reduce their risk of heart disease and heart attack!
3. Vacations Make You a Happier Person
Research shows that chronic stress levels release hormones that can lead to depression and anxiety. Taking a stress-free vacation contributes to your mental health and happiness, and the effects will last longer than your vacation.
4. Taking Vacations Make you Better at your Job
Taking vacations makes you happier, and, logically, happy people perform better at work. In fact, one study showed that for each 10 additional vacation hours an employee took per year, their performance review was 8% higher.
5. Vacations Can Improve your Relationships
While it can be relaxing to vacation alone, taking vacations with family, close friends or your significant other can make your relationship stronger. Exploring new areas, enjoying stress-free leisure time without worry about work, and having new adventures together strengthens the bond with the people you care about most.
6. Vacations Help you Recharge
On assignment, you usually have a daily routine, and it’s easy to lose perspective and forget about life outside your next shift. On vacation, you have time to revisit your goals, explore new surroundings, and abandon your regular schedule to indulge in whatever you enjoy but don’t have enough time for at work. Taking regular vacations also helps prevent burnout in your career.
At Travel Nurse Across America, we know that you work hard, so we want to reward you with a free vacation! We are excited to offer three vacation choices for nurses that qualify for the promotion. Choose between a 3-day cruise, 2-nights in Las Vegas, NV, or 2-nights in Destin, FL! Whether you are ready to soak up the sun on the beach, set sail on a cruise adventure, or hit the Vegas strip, your free vacation is waiting for you!
The benefits to vacationing are clear – consider it a self-care necessity rather than an indulgence! It’s easy to say you will go on a vacation and never get around to it. You only live once, so what are you waiting for?
The relationship between a nurse and their recruiter is essential for a great experience during your travel nursing career. But every relationship isn’t perfect—you might experience some growing pains now and then it can be hard enough to address issues with the people closest to you, so how can you go about addressing your concerns with your recruiter? We’ve put together some tips that can help!
1. MAKE A LIST
When you’re approaching such a tender subject, it might be difficult to communicate your honest thoughts and feelings. It’s pretty easy to get caught up in thinking about what the other person might be feeling. Take a few minutes to write it all down.
Make a list of the issues you are having or the concerns that are frustrating you. Add in what you are looking for in a great recruiter. Do you need someone that has a similar personality? Or someone that is easily reachable? The list will help you approach the subject with your agency and communicate what you need clearly.
If you’re not exactly sure why you’re not gelling, ask yourself these questions to help get you started:
Are your personalities just not clicking?
Do they communicate enough with you?
Do you feel like they have your back?
Are they providing you with all the details you need?
Do you feel like they are listening to you?
Are they considering your priorities?
Have they taken the time to break down the contract with you?
Are they checking in on you regularly?
2. SCHEDULE A TIME TO TALK
Next, send an email to your recruiter and get a specific time and date on their calendar. Scheduling out the call ahead of time gives you much needed, uninterrupted time to really talk through all your concerns and work out a system that works for both of you. The last thing you want is to get all ready for this not-so-easy conversation and not have enough time to really talk it out.
3. TALK IT OUT WITH RECRUITER
Speaking to your current recruiter about your concerns is beneficial for both of you. The conversation gives your recruiter the opportunity to learn how they can help serve you better. Every nurse is different and so is every recruiter. If you’re not getting what you need from the recruiter you have, the best way to get there is by letting them know and allowing them the opportunity to try and do better.
Some recruiters are more experienced than others and may not have nailed down how to really develop a relationship with their nurses yet. This conversation could be a great experience for them to learn how they can improve and make sure their nurses are getting the travel experience they deserve. By communicating openly about what you want and need, you are creating a stronger relationship that will be mutually beneficial for you both.
4. FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL
Immediately after your phone conversation, follow up with an email to your recruiter that summarizes what you two just talked about. Outline the conversation and any agreements that you two came to during the call. The email will create documentation that you tried to address your concerns with the recruiter and can help hold them accountable down the road.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS, REQUEST A NEW RECRUITER
After you’ve addressed your concerns and you are still aren’t getting what you need from your recruiter, it may be time to request someone new. Any agency you’re working with will be happy to help you find a recruiter within their company that is a better fit for your needs. Give the agency a call and request to speak with a recruiting supervisor. They can help match you with someone that best fits your needs.
When you hop on that first phone call with a new recruiter, go through that list you made in step one. They should know:
1. Your expectations: What does your recruiter need to do to gain your trust? How often do you want updates? What information do you need from them to be successful?
2. Your priorities. What means the most to you in a travel nursing career? What is important to you? Are you looking for some interesting locations? Do you need experience or training in a specific field?
3. Your preferences. Where do you want to go? What type of facility are you looking for? What size of city?
4. Your non-negotiables. Do you need a job in a specific town because your spouse is being transferred? Do you need pet-friendly accommodations? Think through what you can’t live without and let your recruiter know.
When you break it down for them in detail, you can develop a relationship with your recruiter that will be infinitely more beneficial to you both.
Every agency wants their nurses to have great travel experience and if you’re not, they will do everything they can to help you get there. Express your concerns as best as you can and you won’t regret it.
It seems that new technology enters our nursing lives on a daily basis.
Since the introduction of Electronic Medical Health Records (EHRs/EMRs), doctors’ offices have evolved to be very familiar with the benefits of technology; despite an initially slow adaptation and adjustment period. Although there are still a few issues with the standardization of EHRs, they are gaining favor among hospitals and researchers for allowing access to a wide net of information.
Big data – the collection and analysis of massive amounts of information through EHRs and studies – has changed the health care game for good. It has opened the door for a more successful implementation of evidence-based medicine across the country.
Currently, evidence-based medicine is praised by many doctors and leaders, but practiced by very few hospitals across our country. Despite its lack of use, it has some surprising benefits it can offer healthcare workers and patients.
Here are five facts about the promising future of evidence-based medicine (EBM).
1.) EBM and outbreak management
Many times serious outbreaks start out small with varying symptoms that are hard to pinpoint. We’ve most likely seen this on a less serious case with the annual flu season. Patients begin to trickle in with a headache, runny nose, or an ear infection, just before the full flu season breaks out and everyone is sick.
With EBM and EHRs, we can better analyze these symptoms and pinpoint the start of the flu season well before it becomes obvious. As the USC Keck School of Medicine points out in their article on technology and public health: by using geographic mapping, as well as massive collected evidence from previous flu (or other) outbreaks, we can assess and treat our patients more accurately with the help of technology.
2.) Recurrence of Admission
Evidence with a Stanford hospital has shown that recurrence of admission drops when EBM is properly implemented in hospitals and ER settings. With the help of EHRs and big data, nurses and doctors can keep track of a patient’s pattern of admission when they have been brought in with tell-tale health indicators.
It’s as simple as keeping notes on similar symptoms; doctors should notice patterns and will be able to fully assess a patient. For travel nurses, this is especially helpful. We can use the past EHRs of new-to-us patients to catch recurring symptoms, and then use the best possible options within EBM to help that patient find relief.
3.) EBMs and Understanding Illness
Since evidence-based medicine is based on – well-collected evidence, that means it is constantly changing and evolving with our understanding of health. Luckily, EHRs and health data analyzers allow us to collect and analyze information on such a large scale, and in such an instantaneous amount of time. We can keep up-to-date on the best treatments and further our understanding of new and emerging illnesses as they happen. The future is now!
4.) Consistent Care
Part of the process of implementing EBM properly includes follow-ups with patients to ensure they received the most accurate treatment path. This helps doctors catch problems before they happen, and helps patients understand their treatment plan more fully. This consistency in care can not only help travel nurses blend in but can help patients feel more trustworthy in their hospital or doctor.
5.) EBM Saves Money
When it comes to discussing health care, money is always brought up along the way. Luckily, EBM has proven to lower costs for not just patients (they have fewer and faster visits) but for hospitals too. So much of our medical spending is wasted on redundant tests and screenings, as well as on readmitting patients for treatable conditions or illnesses.
As evident in both the case of the hospital, Stanford Health (see #2), and in collecting evidence from doctors across the country; having access to patient records through EHRs and implementing evidence-based practice can help hospitals stay on track for lowering their annual expenses. In turn, this could change the very system of healthcare spending in America; but only if enough hospitals and offices catch on to the benefits.
Now, I’ve never been a travel nurse but I am imagine it can be just as busy- if not busier- than being a nurse who stays in one location.
Prioritize your health
I bet that when you move to a new place, where you’re less likely to know anyone, the temptation to work all of the time creeps in. You’re lonely, in a new place, with nothing to do- so why not work when they need help, right? What better way to spend your time than making money and helping out the organization your working at?
Great idea? Well, in theory, overtime and more money sound great-but I have to say: wrong! This can be a very, very bad idea.
Being a nurse is a nurse is a nurse. Whether you travel or not working all of the time is not good for our health. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even socially- this is not good for our well-being.
So what can you do if you’re on the road, looking to make some extra cash, and trying to fit in and make new friends?
Do what I always advise: put yourself first whether you are at home, on an assignment, at work, or not- see yourself and your health as your priority.
What are some tools and techniques that you can do to strengthen this ‘I am #1 muscle’? Here is a list of things I teach and work with my clients on:
• Balance your ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ responses. We are all nurses. Many of us went into nursing because there is something about our personality that likes to help, nurture, and care. So when I tell you to say ‘No’ from time to time, I’m not at all suggesting that you become this mean-hearted, selfish person that doesn’t help anybody out. No way! I’m totally into playing for the team, and when we do this, it makes nursing that much better. But make a list. On the top of the page, put your header. So let’s use ‘Being Called into Work Overtime’ as our header for this example. Under the header, make one column ‘Yes’ and the other column ‘No.’ And each time work calls- make a little mark in the column associated with your answer. Observe your behavior. Is it balanced? Are you putting yourself first, or are you always letting work win out?
• Value yourself. This is a hard one. For nurses, for everybody, really. We are typically our own worst critics. When everyone else can congratulate us and tell us what we’ve done well, we can usually find the one flaw out of all the good we do. Start slowly with building up your own appreciation for yourself. Each night before bed, write down 5 things you did well that day and 5 things you love about yourself. Place a little notebook right on your pillow so that you don’t forget. When you begin to appreciate yourself more, you will value your time. You will put yourself first and stand up for your own health.

Being a travel nurse can be an exciting and rewarding yet sometimes overwhelming experience. With each new assignment, travelers have complete control of their next destination. Sure, your staffing agency may have a specific hospital or clinic looking for help, but your destination city or state is up to you!
While proving helpful for travelers trying to stay in a specific area because of family or other circumstances, being a traveler is also a straightforward and effective way to find new dream destinations. Opportunities are endless for those who want to keep moving. While each traveler’s destination and preferences will differ, each traveler also faces similar choices when making a decision.
Do I choose a close-to-home location or choose your dream location?
Of course, the proposed job offer has to be an appealing one. Oftentimes, being away from home can be a difficult task. Traveling to a job that leaves you unhappy and dissatisfied isn’t going to make the home separation any easier. Make sure that the hospital or clinic of your choice is one that you can be successful at.
If the circumstances at home aren’t exactly return-worthy, finding a placement that makes you happy can create a sense of home for you. Happiness and success are key! Making your dream location a great option.
Even though the atmosphere of your destination job is essential, so are the pay and benefits. It’s important to show your worth and take jobs that reflect it. Traveling to Hawaii, for example, because you’ve always wanted to go there is an exciting experience, but keep in mind the cost of living there is exorbitantly high. When the ends justify the means, it’s easy to continue traveling and find jobs that reflect your worth.
Another important factor of traveling is finding both popular tourist destinations and hidden hometown treasures. Of course, you went to Sea World in San Diego, but did you try Machete Beer House while you were there? You might visit Music Row in Nashville, but wouldn’t you like to see the wildlife in Radnor Park? More times than not, the destination’s hidden gems are more exciting than their well-known tourist attractions. Find them!
The healthcare profession is obviously rain or shine; but, do you prefer it sunny and hot or a little chilly? The weather in any destination affects your stay, and sometimes your mood as well! Visiting Texas in the summer will be HOT, while visiting North Dakota will be absolutely frigid in the winter. Whether a place has mountains or beaches with sand, be prepared for what you’re traveling to!
Of course, the most important deciding factor is your family and your friends. So many travelers want to stay close to home to see their grandkids or be close to their parents; it’s a tough decision to decide between visiting a new exotic place or staying in your hometown for the time being. The nice part is, being a traveler provides you with the opportunity to go somewhere new whenever it fits into your lifestyle!
While these factors are important to consider, they rank differently in each traveler’s decision-making process. The ultimate goal is to be happy and successful! So, dream location or staying close to home?

I like to quote famous people in my writings. For this article, I’d like to cite a famous author, Hunter S Thompson, who once said, “Buy the ticket, take the ride”. Which, if you think about it, is exactly what travel nurses do. They take the chance of adventures that a lot of people can’t bring themselves to take. The rewards are off the hook, but even so, it takes some bravery, and a lot of gumption to step into the arena.
An assignment can fly by quickly, or it can seem like a lifetime. This can depend on how you feel about your latest job, but a lot of it has to do with how much you like the new town you find yourself calling home. So, therein lies the rub.
How do you handle a dud assignment, when all you want is to earn a living and get your adventures on?
If it’s a situation at work, that’s probably a case for you and your recruiter to handle, or you need advice from a fellow travel nurse. I’ve seen my wife come home in tears, so I know how bad things can get, but I’m going to stick to my area of expertise for this article, and stay out of the hallowed halls of the hospital.
So, the town your working in rolls up its sidewalks at 7:30, and everyone’s over sixty, or under twenty, depending on which demographic you choose to hang with (or in this case, not hang with). It can be rough when you don’t enjoy your temporary hometown. You can’t enjoy your off days, it makes it hard to get anything done, and you feel like you made a huge mistake.
We are a travel nurse family, and that can be a different animal then the single travel nurse, or a family without young children, but some of the following suggestions can be used by anybody that finds themselves in this situation.
1.) Never underestimate how much time you can kill improving yourself.
I’m not implying anyone reading this article needs an exceptional amount of betterment, but I also don’t think anyone doing this kind of work is afraid of a little personal growth. As a matter of fact, I’d say that it’s one of the reasons most of you are doing it. Take advantage of a bad situation, by reading, listening to lectures, or working on a new skill.
2.) You know you’ve always wanted to learn a new language.
You’re a traveler after all. Maybe you’ve always been interested in taking your nursing career in a new direction or starting an exercise program. You could try meditation, take up yoga, or learn to bake. A boring town gives you just the excuse you’ve been waiting for to investigate these opportunities. I would encourage anyone who is, or is with a travel nurse, to start taking pictures and writing down all the cool stuff you’ve seen and done. Sites like the Gypsy Nurse are always looking for new contributors, and if you’ve ever read anything by me, you know they’ll publish anybody!
3.) Remember too, that anonymity is your friend on the road.
Sometimes we’re held back from trying something new or taking adventures by how we think our friends, or family will react to it. Nobody likes feeling judged or being embarrassed, but it helps when the people doing the judging are ones you’re likely to never see again. Try it, and if you succeed, brag. If you fail, learn from it, and move on. Be fearless, and you’ll never be bored.
Travel nursing can be an amazingly rewarding profession, but no one ever said it wasn’t stressful. Let’s be honest, nursing, in general, can be very stressful, and when you throw in a relatively foreign environment and the logistics of travel nursing, the stress can really ramp up.
No series of tactics will ever take all of the stress out of travel nursing, but there are strategies that can help you ease the burden and make nursing and the travel associated with it just a little easier. Employ these tips today to get back to what you really love about travel nursing.
* Plan ahead.Like, way ahead.
There are a whole series of potential concerns related to travel nursing, particularly if you’re relatively new to the game. To make the most of your travel experience, it pays to plan — and pack — for your trip long before you need to so nothing is forgotten in the last-minute rush. Lean on your staffing agency to help you answer any remaining questions you may have and follow this guide for making the most of your first few days in your new location.
* Remember your place.
Being a nurse means often being around people and their loved ones during incredibly stressful times, and it’s not uncommon for people to lash out at you when things turn difficult. As tough as it can be at the time, remind yourself that the situation, not you, is the source of the stress and that their anger/anxiety is not personal in any way.
* Take a break.
Easier said than done? It shouldn’t be. You’re allowed breaks, and using them can refresh you to come back to your patient care with more vitality. Use your lunch break and don’t be afraid to take a 10-minute walk around the building to vanquish stress when things get too hectic. You’ll be better for it.
* Don’t forget the physical.
Lowering your stress level is about more than simply thinking happy thoughts. There’s an entire physical aspect as well. Eating well and getting a good night’s sleep form the building blocks here, but don’t forget to schedule stress-relieving activities that you enjoy as well. Yoga, Pilates, or a quick run with a friend can all help relieve your stress and give you something to look forward to at shift’s end.
Finished the travel nursing guide and are ready to look for an assignment?
Travel nurses come in all shapes, sizes, and specialties. Technology, along with improved education and health standards, has shifted much of what we understand about the body and medicine. But some professions never really change and truly stand the test of time. The midwife career is one such profession.
Traveling Midwives
Traveling midwives are a small minority of the travel nursing profession but are no less important than any other traveling group. Although the midwifery profession is often associated with antiquated customs and pre-industrial civilization, they still exist today; and they’re thriving!
In fact, the midwifery profession has picked up steam in recent times, with even celebrities opting for at-home care over a traditional hospital or OB-GYN setting. According to the Atlantic, the number of mothers opting for midwife care has increased steadily: “In 1989, the first year for which data is available, midwives were the lead care providers at just 3 percent of births in the U.S. In 2013, the most recent year for which statistics are available, that number was close to 9 percent.”
Let’s take a minute to look at some of the growing opportunities within the traveling midwife profession. Plus, since February is “International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month” (who knew?), we can highlight the importance of the traveling midwifery profession!
Traveling Where Needed
One of the greatest benefits of being a travel nurse is the ability to provide professional care to those that really need it. Traveling midwives that work with nonprofits or WHO are able to do just that for women anywhere around the world.
For example, in New Orleans — where a majority of the population lives under the poverty line and faces insurmountable hurdles to get access to basic health care — midwives partnered with LSU Public Hospital and the March of Dimes teamed up to provide a prenatal care bus to local residents in July 2016. According to the report: “Officials announced that the healthcare equipped vehicle will offer screenings, prenatal and postpartum care, gynecological exams and immunizations to women and children under the age of 2 years old.” The bus visited three districts, including the 9th Ward; an area that was heavily affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It’s through services like this one that expectant mothers can receive the professional help and education they need prior to their delivery day.
But travel midwives don’t just have opportunities within the states.
International travel is also a common option for travel midwives, as reproductive healthcare is increasingly stigmatized or limited around the globe.
WHO is leading the charge for international traveling midwives and offers internships for graduate students and professionals in the field. WHO understands the gap in care and regulation on an international level and provides midwives with the opportunity to educate others and help those in desperate need of pre-and postnatal services. With the growing concern over prenatal diseases, such as the rise and spread of the Zika Virus in South America and into North America, licensed and experienced midwives are needed more than ever to provide international relief and education to mothers around the globe.
A Valuable Service
Midwives are valuable, and those that can travel can have an even greater impact on the international community. The CDC released research in 1998 that highlighted the importance of midwifery. The evidence showed that having traveling mid-wives be a part of the birthing process lowered the chances of infant mortality by 19%. The reason behind the success? Midwives spend more time with their patients, can provide essential emotional support, and can offer much-needed advice to these new mothers.
“The differences in birth outcomes between certified nurse-midwife and physician-attended births may be explained in part by differences in prenatal, labor, and delivery care practices. Other studies have shown that certified nurse-midwives generally spend more time with patients during prenatal visits and put more emphasis on patient counseling and education and providing emotional support. Most certified nurse-midwives are with their patients on a one-on-one basis during the entire labor and delivery process providing patient care and emotional support, in contrast with physician’s care which is more often episodic.” (CDC, 1998)
The Atlantic article (mentioned earlier) also highlighted two other studies, from 2011 and 2013, on the nursing midwives’ success rate: “[These studies] found that women whose care was led by a midwife rather than a physician were less likely to receive pain medication in labor, less likely to experience pre-term birth, and less likely to experience a miscarriage before 24 weeks’ gestation.”
Yet traveling mid-wives do much more than help deliver a baby. Many traveling midwives are also primary care physicians, offering lifetime care to their female patients. They can perform regular screenings, check-ups, and PAPs and provide contraceptive counseling along with prescription medication. The most unique aspect of traveling midwives is their higher level of autonomy to practice outside of a hospital or office setting. They can travel directly to where the patient needs them.
Midwives that can travel nationally or internationally are lucky. They get to share the most important moment with their patients, provide support to women and are able to see the world while doing it. Their passion for women’s health inspires them to help every woman, no matter what obstacle might be in their way.
If you’re interested in joining the traveling mid-wives movement, the field is projected to continue to grow by 30% over the next ten years. If you love babies, mothers, and women’s health, then becoming a travel nurse midwife might be your calling!
