New Adventure!!!

I have decided to take a big jump in my life and become a travel nurse!!!  I'm so excited!!!  I have decided to start a blog so that I am able to talk about my new life and adventures, along with sharing pictures to everyone!!! 
I have not found out where I am going first, but should know sometime in July.  My lease on my apartment has kept me in KC, since I only had a few months left on it. I also was able to get all the dates I needed off this summer at the hospital that I'm currently employed by, so I decided not to travel until the beginning of August! 
I'm sure that some of my followers are wondering what travel nursing consists of!  I am employed a company called, Medical Solutions, and they shell my professional profile out to hospitals that are short staffed all over the country! (I'm hoping that after I get a couple travel assignments under my belt, I will be able to go to Hawwaii and Alaska) That hospital then contacts me and interviews me over the phone.  After the phone interview and the hospital wants me to work there, I travel to that town/city and work under a contract.  The average length of a contract is 3 months.  This company pays for my travel expenses, my housing, and they give me a small amount of money for phone and utilities as well as my hourly wage.  My recuiter, Ashley has been wonderful thus far, and I'm hoping that she is able to land me a great first travel assignment!  I'll be letting you know when and where I'm going as soon as I know!!!
