​Outstanding travel nurses PLAN to adapt to a new working environment. New system, new people, new process, new procedures and come to the assignment with a new "learning attitude".

Outstanding travel nurses learn WHY things happen the way they do at the new hospital, and not just the procedures. This keeps the nurse keenly focused on patient care and protected since documenting everything is so important in travel nursing.

Outstanding travel nurses form relationships that are professional and KEPT professional. Courteous, polite and knowledgeable but never gossiping or telling life stories. Watch out what you say and if you "go out for a drink with the gang", make it ONE and RUN.

Just a few tips from our years in the field. Safe Travels!
