To the OP, having played the travel nurse thing myself for several years when I knew where I was wanting to move to, I will say it is a GREAT way to get to know an area and hospital systems before you commit to them. With 25 years in I'm sure you know the politics involved in most hospitals. Also, the end result of the pay is greatly higher than regular hourly pay. Where are you at in PA? From Western Pa originally myself. Looking at a move in the future for myself and want to avoid winter.
