first application

While we visited in Cincinnati, Tonya told me about a traveling nurse that was stationed in their NICU and he loved it so much he was extending his assignment to Labor Day. I asked if she could get me any information from him, as I am forever researching from people. A day or two later, Tonya delivered :) He works for Cross Country TravCorps located in Florida, but he actually lives in one of the Carolinas, or Virginia... I can't remember which one.

I looked up their information and even though it is much the same as others, I was still impressed. They even had a spot on their website to show some example housing arangements which looked really nice.

While working this past weekend, I talked to a couple more coworkes about transport vs. traveling and I think I have come to the conclusion that I need to travel now, and transport later (if I still want to at a later date). Looking at the pros and cons, there are a few that are similar, but the cons of transport right now would last longer than the cons of traveling. Besides, I am young, single, without kids.... If I don't do it now, I may never get the chance. And my two coworkers, both married, but both without kids, said they both thought/talked about going, with or without their spouse, and didn't, and both regret it.

I tried calling my Educator yesterday to let her know the change in plans and so far she hasn't returned my call. Hopefully they aren't too mad about my decision, but I have to do what's best for me. Like my awesome coworker said the other day, this job isn't here for me, so I shouldn't be here for it. I need to do what is best for me.

Today I applied online for the CrossCountry travelers agency and I should hear from a recruiter within 24 hours.
