Sydney, 3rd October, 2007. Pkorbs today launched its traveling nurse information website http://www.travelingnurseadvice.com. Becoming a traveling nurse has become a very attractive career move for existing nurses and those interested in becoming a nurse. There has never been a greater demand for travel nurses, as the NurseZone.com Website states “a well-qualified nurse with experience in a high-demand specialty can find an assignment almost anywhere in the United States throughout the year”. Other countries such as the UK and Australia are currently experiencing a concerning shortage of nurses as well.

Being a traveling nurse attracts better pay conditions than a regular nurse, as the StudentDoc.com website mentions “Travel nursing usually pays $24-$35 per hour…Pay is higher in regions of the country with the highest cost-of-living: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and other major metropolitan areas”. The wage of a traveling nurse is determined by experience, and area of expertise. Further to this traveling nurses often receive ‘completion bonuses’ from their agencies simply for completing their assignment. The americanmobile.com website says these bonuses “can range from $500 to $6,000 for a 13-week assignment”. In addition to the fantastic pay conditions, traveling nurses in the US usually receive medical benefits and a 401k plan as well.

Working as a traveling nurse provides nurses with the opportunity to see the world, and further their careers at the same time. The experience a traveling nurse receives is often viewed quite favorably by potential employers, and gives nurses the possibility of growing their resume in a short amount of time.

Traveling nurses are also in demand in times of natural disasters and times of war. These positions are obviously not for everyone, but do provide a unique opportunity to assist in providing aid and relief to struggling parts of the world.

The newly launched www.travelingnurseadvice.com website provides information and resources for traveling nurses, specifically in the US. In particular visitors are informed of what is required of traveling nurses, the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a traveling nurse and what to expect in terms of working conditions.
