8 Steps for Resetting Your Nursing Career in 2022

Posted on December 28, 2021December 27, 2021 by CareerStaff Unlimited

This article was provided by: CareerStaff Unlimited.

A new year is here, and for many health professionals, that means a time to seek new career opportunities. While some are content to find an assignment in the same setting — or even the same building — many others have a bigger change in mind. For those of you looking to take your nursing career in a new direction in 2022, here are a few things to consider.

Step 1: Take stock of what’s important.

Before you begin your search for a new nursing career path — or, at the very least, before you make a decision to accept a new assignment—make sure that you’ve taken the time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished in your career so far (or haven’t, as the case may be).

That means taking a real consideration of what’s worked and what hasn’t in your career up to this point. Have you enjoyed working in the type of facilities you’ve been assigned to, or is it time for a change? You may discover that something you’re struggling with is something you can fix — i.e., the setting or facility type or the size of the town you work in.

Step 2: Clearly define your goals.

“The research is clear,” writes Ashley Stahl at Forbes, “people who set goals are more successful.” Stahl goes on to outline some advice for setting and sticking to goals — specifically, making sure it’s specific and clear by putting it in writing.

And now that you’ve taken stock of your past, you can be more specific in your goals for the future. That’s very important, Stahl notes: “If your career plan is to one day become a manager, that’s great,” she writes. “But it’s also vague. Get even more clear by setting goals like ‘manage a team of 5 or more senior employees by January [2022].’ This goal just got much easier to visualize.”

Step 3: Prioritize your personal satisfaction.

When you’re setting your goals, don’t forget to consider your own satisfaction, on the personal as well as the professional level. If you’ve been developing the right kinds of skills and experience but not really feeling happy or fulfilled, then you want to consider why that is — and do what you can to correct it.

Thanks to the possibilities of virtual care and the huge demand for nurses and clinicians pretty much across the board, there are more opportunities than ever. That means that you’ll have more chances to move into a new environment. So, think about what really makes you happy — everything from the size of your team to the city you work in — and work on adapting your career to that standard.

Step 4: Update your CV, stat!

As important as it is to keep your CV as updated as possible, we know it’s also time-consuming. But make no mistake: If you’re seeking a new clinical or nursing career opportunity, it’s essential to revisit your CV, stat. You don’t want to miss a great opportunity because you had to quickly create a new CV before you could apply!

But the idea isn’t just to make sure this important document is up to date, but that it also best reflects your skillset. For instance, if you have experience working in a specific type of facility like an educational or correctional institution, that can be a valuable item to highlight. Doing so demonstrates not just clinical skills but also your versatility and ability to work in a variety of settings.

Step 5: Work on your network.

With every assignment you work, you’re meeting new people and making new relationships. Besides the basic fulfillment of making friends, this is also part of building a professional network that can, in turn, provide essential benefits like endorsements, recommendations, and referrals.

Today, networking has taken on new dimensions thanks to LinkedIn, the social networking platform for working professionals. Most people who work in healthcare have at least a basic presence on this important site. Many hospitals, health networks, and recruiters are active on LinkedIn, so taking the time to build your profile there is far from wasting time on social media.

On top of that, those who take time to cultivate their presence on LinkedIn often have a real advantage when competing for the jobs that they really want. If you keep it updated, it can also double as your CV or resume too, and the work you put into one can also be used to the benefit of the other.

Our experts offer up these additional tips for networking on LinkedIn:

Use professional photos on your profile that best portray who you are and your profession.
Keep your headline short and laser focused on what you do, and what you can offer a potential employer.
Join groups to find insider and trade info on valuable topics or certifications.
Follow influencers and thought leaders to learn more about what interests you in your profession.
Follow your “dream job” company or facility and their social feed — seeing what types of articles they share and how they interact with their community can help you get a sense of the kind of culture you want to work within.

Step 6: Learn a new skill.

A great way to ensure that you land the clinical or nursing career opportunity that you want is making sure you’re offering something of value to a new employer or facility. This could be getting a new certification or even working in a different facility type.

For instance, if you plan to work at a hospital again later in your career, spending a few months on assignment in a different type of setting like a skilled nursing facility could give you new skills and sometimes a higher level of compensation. Having already clearly defined your goals, you should also have a pretty clear idea of the specific skills you’ll need to realize them.

Because of the pandemic, acute care skills and ICU experience is, particularly in demand. But at all times, employers seek skills like management, communication, and critical thinking — all of which can be demonstrated by taking CE courses that support them. Being clear about this on your CV and during your interview will also help show initiative and leadership — two more skills that are always in.

Step 7: Be ready to deal with change.

Remember, if you’re taking the active steps to reset or even shift your nursing career, you have to be ready for some life changes that may come as a result. If you’ve done a good job of planning and setting your expectations for personal happiness, that change should be welcome.

But change isn’t always predictable, as we’ve all recently learned. Chances are that, no matter how well you’ve planned your career path, you’ll come across speedbumps. To succeed requires pressing on in the face of doubt and uncertainty to face the future you really want. It can be hard, though, so be ready!

Step 8: Stay up to date on industry trends and developments.

Finally, you’ll want to make sure you’re up to date on what’s happening in the industry to make sure you find the opportunity that best suits your needs and preferences. A great way to do that is by following CareerStaff on LinkedIn, as we noted above. And another great way is here at the CareerStaff blog.

8 Important Tips for Travel Nurses

Posted on July 14, 2021July 12, 2021 by Medical Staffing Options

This article was provided by Medical Staffing Options.

There are many incentives for travel nurses, including higher pay, new career opportunities, and the experience of traveling to various locations. Despite these advantages, travel nursing can take a toll on one’s emotional, physical, and mental health.

Whether you are an active travel nurse or are interested in taking your nursing career on the road, the following list can help make your adventures as a travel nurse a pleasant experience. The following information reveals 8 important tips for travel nurses.

1. Become Informed on Each State’s Licensing Requirements

Each state has its own rules as to whether new licensure is required for travel nurses. There is an agreement created by the National Council Boards of Nursing that allows nurses in certain states, deemed compact states, to practice in other compact states with obtaining an additional license.

Many states who are not part of this agreement normally allow for nurses to obtain a temporary license. To become informed regarding license laws, travel nurses should visit the Board of Nursing Website for each prospective employment opportunity.

2. Vehicle Care

With all the stress of life, it is easy to forget to properly maintain your vehicle. This is a critical concern for travel nurses, as they put extensive miles on their vehicles, which can result in extensive damage if not maintained.

Keep records of your regular vehicle maintenance, including oil changes, tire replacement/rotations, and check your fluids regularly. Neglecting to do so can result in costly damages to your vehicle.

Some travel nurses prefer to rent a vehicle, although this can be an expensive decision.

3. Don’t Overpack

This is one of the most common mistakes made by new travel nurses. It can be tempting to overpack in fear that you will not have enough items, but it will be a regrettable decision. Packing too many unnecessary items is not a feasible decision when moving every few months on average.

Important Things to Note:

If your things do not fit in your vehicle, leave them behind.
Only pack clothes that are relevant to your job location.
Find affordable, furnished housing options
Pack enough scrubs

One of the best tips for travel nurses is living minimally is the most practical and appropriate lifestyle for this career choice.

4. Avoid Tax Complications

Every state has different laws in place for state taxes. Be sure to keep financial records to avoid complications. One of our top tips for travel nurses is it is in your best interest to hire a tax professional to avoid complications.

5. Stay in Touch with Family and Friends

The sole complaint for many travel nurses is that life on the road can become lonely. This is not good for one’s emotional or mental health. To combat this issue, it is crucial that nurses keep regular contact with their family and friends back home. This can be achieved through regular phone calls, skype, zoom, or other virtual applications.

6. Be Sure to Consider Factors, Including Health Insurance

Reliable health insurance is a common complaint for many travel nurses. Lack of insurance opportunities and lapses in coverage can threaten one’s health and financial security.

The best way to avoid any issues with health insurance is to work with a staffing agency that provides its employees with coverage. The team of knowledgeable professionals at Medical Staffing Options provides travel nurses with full-time healthcare coverage, a rare benefit in the world of travel nursing.

This will provide you with peace of mind, knowing that wherever you may travel, your health coverage is secure.

7. Prepare For Politics

We’re not talking about the 2020 election, but hospital politics. 99.5% of the time, most hospital staffs are grateful for the help. Over the last year, staffing has been difficult because of a myriad of reasons – turnover or nurse burnout, to name a few. Travel nurses are able to bridge that gap, and the other nurses are happy for the relief. There might be one or two nurses who may harbor negative feelings towards travel nursing – the perception being hours or positions being stolen. That’s okay. All you need to do is the job you were brought on to do and excel. You know what they say, “Kill them with kindness.” You might be able to change their perception, but you may not. Just keep the lines of communication open and always be helpful to all staff.

8. Seek the Services of a Staffing Agency

Finding the right job opportunities can be difficult for travel nurses. If you are considering the transition to travel nursing or need help finding your next nursing opportunity, a recruitment agency that specializes in travel nursing can help.

Together those goals are called SMART. Use the recommendations above to reach the achievable goals below.

5 Achievable Examples Of Goals In Nursing Career

Continuing Education

Some travel nurses find this point very boring, while others are fond of it. Still, education includes several issues.

Learning medical techniques in general
Unit-specific certificates

These two points are similar but diverse simultaneously—the evolution of medical techniques and pedagogy demands from travel nurses the continuing learning and acquisition with new challenges. Keep your hand on the pulse and learn something new every week. Read the useful updates for the travel nurses. Life-learners have more positive feedback than those who work with the old techniques.

Of course, specialists who work in the intensive care units and cosmetology have different knowledge. Apart from the general techniques, adapt new helpful skills from the certificates.

Nowadays, it is easy to achieve success in learning. Subscribe to different online Telegram channels, Facebook accounts, and other blogs to see what is going on in the medical world. Nowadays there are great online sources and platforms for everything, from online dating to getting nursing knowledge.

How to Maximize Your New Travel Career

Posted on December 20, 2019February 3, 2023 by TNAA- Travel Nurse Across America

This article provided by: TNAA

With the holidays in full swing, it can be nearly impossible to think about how to prepare to start the new year off with a bang. And make no mistake, travel nursing requires a lot of preparation. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. Walk into the new year on the right foot. Let’s reflect and refocus.

Take on 2020

Maybe you’re clocking in for your staff position and thinking that you want to do more, experience more, and try something new. You’ve been thinking about travel nursing and looking at different review sites. Now it’s time to decide if the gypsy life is for you in 2020. The autonomy of travel nursing is attractive to many and provides nearly endless options. Here are our top tips to make the most of your new career as a travel nurse.

Determine Your Motivations

It’s essential to understand what you want to get out of travel nursing before signing a contract and heading out on the open road. Determining your motivations will ensure you get the best experience. Do you want to travel for the experience? Maybe your goal is to work at a prestigious hospital or perhaps in a Level-I Trauma Center. Is your primary motivator for travel nursing to pay down debt or for financial freedom? If so, your research will focus on pay rates for your specialty. Maybe you want to embark on the gypsy life so you can travel, making assignment location a top priority. Ask yourself, why do I want to do this?

Find an Agency That Complements Your Motivations

After you’ve determined what you want to get out traveling and what you need from a potential schedule, you’re prepared to find an agency that complements your motivations. Meaning, your agency should pair perfectly with your goals and add little extras that make your travel experience exceptional. Let’s break down what that would look like:

Money: Going for the Green

A lot of nurses look to travel nursing for the financial opportunities it affords. Understand that the financial benefit doesn’t necessarily come from crazy-high hourly pay. Your hourly wage is only a part of the equation, and it’s crucial to look at your pay package as a whole. Some travelers will tell you that the tax-free stipend is the best way to profit from travel nursing, while others will focus on OT rates. Accept that everyone’s situation is a little different when it comes to taxes, debt, and dependents. So what do you do?

Look for agencies that place a premium on your financial wellness.

Ask if your agency and recruiter understand travel taxes. A good agency will keep you tax compliant. This article breaks down an organization called NATHO and what those “tax-free stipends” mean to the IRS.
Ask your agency how low census call-offs or missed shifts due to illness will impact your check. What happens if you need to call in sick? Look for an agency that protects your pay.
Ask your recruiter about pay frequency. A lot of agencies now offer weekly pay. Looking at review sites can be helpful, but may contain outdated information. Find out for yourself.
Ask your agency about premium rates. From OT to holiday, be sure you understand how these work if the pay is your primary motivator. Remember that phrase about assumptions? No one wants to be surprised on a paycheck. A great agency will have experienced payroll staff that will take the time to explain how it all works if you need them to.
Think about your financial future. What does retirement look like? 401(k) and retirement used to mean working 30+ years as perm staff, but it’s 2020, and agencies are recognizing that their travelers deserve the same benefits as full-time employees. Ask if they have 401(k), when you qualify, and how much they’ll match.

Experience: Chasing Career Goals

Many nurses look to travel nursing to get the experience they need to move forward in their careers. Bolstering your resume is a big perk of travel nursing. Understand that each assignment will teach you something new, whether that’s a skill that will move you closer to your goal or it’s something you now know isn’t for you in the future. Look for an agency that understands how to maximize your travel career so you can reach your goal.

Ask your recruiter about their expertise. Your recruiter isn’t just your front-line teammate; they should also function similar to an academic advisor. The best agency will have a roster of recruiters who can look at the big picture of your career and be able to guide you to assignments that will help you reach your goals, not just fill an immediate need.
Ask your agency about clinical support. A good agency will ensure you have RNs in your corner who will act as a liaison for you when needed, provide you with career coaching, and ensure you can ace any skills tests a facility may require. Maybe you’re an OR nurse but have only circulated but want to scrub. Your clinical team can help you develop a path and plan to get there.
Ask about licensure. California, compact states, fingerprinting, and fees — licensing can be a multi-step, time-sensitive, and costly process. Your agency should simplify it for you. Do they pay for it? Do they turn in necessary paperwork on your behalf? The best assignments get booked quickly. Overlooking this aspect can mean missing out on your dream assignment.
Think about your nursing future. What does your career look like after you hang up your gypsy scrubs? Just like perm staff, your employer should make it easy for you to get the CEUs you need to maintain licensing, but you want to expand your career and resume. Look for an agency that offers more. Do they provide RN-to-BSN tuition reimbursement? Will they help you get certifications that lead to higher pay?

Travel: Aiming for Adventure

If experiencing new things excites you, then you’re in good company as adventure comes with every new travel nurse assignment. Going to specific locations of your choice is a perk of the gypsy nurse lifestyle. Understand that working in popular areas comes with challenges. Look for an agency that supports you in your quest for flexibility and adventure.

Look for top-notch recruiters who understand the industry. Your recruiter should have extensive market knowledge and be able to leverage that to get you to the destinations that are on your bucket list. Everyone wants to go to Hawaii. Winter assignments in warm locations fill up quickly. Your recruiter should guide your career to get your profile on top in hard-to-book locations and know when to submit.
Ask your agency how they get jobs. Does your agency have exclusive access to jobs in desirable areas? Their internal teams should be working behind-the-scenes to offer a variety of locations. Their business relationships should benefit their travel nurses.
Ask about benefits. From hiking to shopping, it’s essential to consider if your agency’s benefits fit your lifestyle. What happens if you break your leg on a trail and can’t work? Are you insured if you take a vacation between assignments?
