Just a side note for the young kids thinking about this career: sometimes travel nurses get stuck with undesirable positions and even trouble patients that the "regular" nurses on the floor do not want to deal with at even a regular hospital. In our state the nursing profession has a 50-75% burnout rate (based on nurses who DO NOT renew their license). Honestly with most medical careers, do it because you want to help others, not for the money.

Many minimize the importance of advisors until their feelings get in the way. After a protracted divorce a few summers ago, I needed a major boost to remain afloat with my firm.
