Pick a recruiter that listens to you and your needs. If you don't jive with the recruiter that you are assigned to, ask for another one. It is important to have a good relationship with your recruiter since he/she will be finding suitable nursing jobs for you and guiding you through the travel nursing experience.
Be prepared for your interview. Ask your recruiter for a list of questions to ask your interviewer.
Once you have accepted an assignment it is time to gather documents required by the facility and agency. Get to work on your license and required documents as soon as possible.
You will be contacted by a housing coordinator. Know exactly what is included with your apartment. Generally extras can be payroll deducted for a small amount.
Be safe when traveling to your assignment. Pack t.v.'s. computers and possessions of value in your trunk, out of sight or have your agency rent them for you. There may be an extra charge, but it may be worth it not to have to lug heavy t.v.'s and computers from assignment to assignment.
While on assignment, keep a list of the correct facility name, address and phone number. Write down all supervisor's names and titles. This will come in handy when updating your resume.
