Travel nursing just like every other job has its pros and cons. While I’ve been a travel nurse for just a couple of months now and have had the highest of highs, I’ve also had the lowest of lows. If you found yourself here, then you must be considering starting your career as a travel nurse. I remember when I was about to start my career as a licensed practical travel nurse, I was always searching the website for answers to questions I had. This post is designed to give you an idea of what travel nursing has pros and cons are. It will also help you to decide if this is the right career choice for you.

PROS OF TRAVEL NURSING IN CANADA.

-Travelling and seeing the country

One of the benefits of travel nursing is the “travel” part of it! When you work as a travel nurse, your work will take you across the country but note that some of the jobs are in the remote part of the country. I have a bunch of places on my wish list that I wish to see and immediately an opportunity of an assignment there comes up. I am signing up for it and off I go. 

-Great Pay

It’s not a secret that travel nurses make more money than a traditional staff nurses. This means that you can save enough money to take some time off between contracts. Also, you are most likely to be posted to a site where they are short-staffed so you might be getting overtime (said might as overtime is not always guaranteed) and that is also a great opportunity to make more money and save more money.
