Travelers Share: Myths About Healthcare Traveling
Healthcare professionals who are considering a career in travel nursing often come across a number of misconceptions and myths that may discourage them from pursuing this exciting path. To dispel these myths and set the record straight, we reached out to healthcare travelers and asked them to share their experiences. Here are some of their responses:
Myth 1: Travelers Aren’t Treated Well
Tonette, an experienced RN, was quick to debunk this myth. She stated that most healthcare facilities welcome travelers with open arms. Contrary to the belief that they are treated poorly, healthcare travelers are often embraced as valuable additions to the team. Their expertise and fresh perspective are highly valued, leading to a positive and inclusive work environment.
Myth 2: Always Getting the Worst Assignments
Bridget, another RN, revealed that the myth about always receiving the worst assignments is far from true. In reality, healthcare travelers are given a variety of assignments, and the difficulty level varies just like it does for permanent staff. They have the opportunity to work in different departments and gain diverse experiences, which can enhance their skills and professional growth.
Myth 3: It’s All About the Money
Jennifer, an RN, debunked the misconception that healthcare traveling is solely motivated by money. While compensation can be competitive, the true focus for healthcare travelers is on gaining valuable experiences and expanding their professional horizons. They have the opportunity to work in different healthcare settings, learn new techniques, and develop a well-rounded skill set.
Myth 4: Traveling is Easy
A.S, an RN, highlighted the challenges of healthcare traveling. Contrary to the belief that it’s all smooth sailing, healthcare travelers face unique obstacles. They often find themselves alone in a new city, adapting to a different environment, and navigating unfamiliar healthcare systems. This requires flexibility, resilience, and the ability to quickly adapt to new situations.
Myth 5: Traveling Never Gets Tiresome
A travel CNA, CHHA, and phlebotomist pointed out that healthcare traveling can indeed become tiresome. Constantly adapting to new environments, establishing routines, and building relationships can be mentally and physically exhausting. This highlights the importance of self-care for healthcare travelers, as taking care of oneself is essential to maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Despite these myths, healthcare traveling remains an exciting and rewarding career path for many professionals. It offers the opportunity to explore new locations, gain diverse experiences, and make a positive impact on patients’ lives across the United States.

History of Nurses Week
Nurses Week traces its origins back to 1954 in the United States, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s pioneering mission to Crimea. Known as the founder of modern nursing, Nightingale’s legacy continues to inspire nurses worldwide. In recognition of her contributions, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) declared May 12th as International Nurses Day, with Nurses Week encompassing the days surrounding this date in the U.S. The Week is marked by many activities, including special events, educational initiatives, and community outreach programs. Many brands and organizations show their appreciation through discounts, offers, and freebies. Whether enjoying a cup of coffee or treating yourself to a new outfit, Nurses Week is the perfect occasion to celebrate and pamper yourself.

At Uniti Med, we extend heartfelt appreciation to all nurses for their commitment and dedication, not only during Nurses Week but every day of the year.
