5.0 out of 5 stars very helpful!!, July 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hitting the Road: A Guide to Travel Nursing (Paperback)

This book was extremely helpful to me because I was just starting out as a travel nurse. It told me all about things that I had never even considered, including taxes, negotiating for benefits that I need, etc... I also like the section in the back with the listing of companies and room to take notes. Not sure if this book would be helpful to someone who has been a travel nurse for a while, but for a new traveler I highly recommend it. The author is very nice about answering any other questions via email.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource!, October 1, 2004

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hitting the Road: A Guide to Travel Nursing (Paperback)

After searching for any books on Travel Nursing, I came across this book. The ONLY one!! I am currently in the process of becoming a travel nurse and this is just what I needed! I recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to become a travel nurse. It has really answered many of my questions. It gives you a timeframe of what to do, what all paperwork you need, ways to negotiate with a company, even a thorough list of travel companies and what they offer!! An excellent much-needed resource for the new traveling nurse.

BSBJRN (BAMA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hitting the Road: A Guide to Travel Nursing (Paperback)

After several unsuccesful attempts to get information on travel
nursing, I stumbled upon this book. This is a number one book that explains EVERYTHING! The reading is professional, objective, and informative. Everyone that is considering travel nursing needs to read this book. I wished that it was longer. I really enjoyed reading this book, and couldn't put it down. Thank you!

I've researched the absurd price on this book on several other websites have it at hundreds of dollars as well. I've never seen anything like it. I'm floored.
