Dream Destination or Close to Home. How do you Decide?

Being a travel nurse can be exciting and rewarding, with each new assignment, travelers have complete control over their next destination.

While some travelers use the freedom to stay in a specific area because of family or other circumstances, being a travel nurse is also an effective way to find new dream destinations. Each traveler's destination and preferences will differ, but travelers face similar choices when deciding where to go.

Oftentimes being away from home can be a difficult task and traveling to a job that doesn't make you happy can make the home separation harder on you.

The atmosphere of your destination job is essential, make sure the hospital or clinic you choose is one you can be successful at if you are branching away from your hometown.

On the other hand if the situation at home isn't exactly great, finding a placement that excites you can create a new sense of home for you. Opportunities are endless for those that want to keep moving. This makes your dream location a great option. Happiness and success are key!

Maybe you dream of popular tourist destinations in San Francisco, or a quiet mountain side in Montana, or maybe you prefer the bustle of the city life in New York City. Travel nursing is perfect for those who want to get out and see the grandness of the world!

Contrastingly, many travelers want to stay close to home to see their grandkids or be close to their parents. You don't have to stop exploring even in your close to home assignment, maybe your destination close to home has hidden gems that you didn't know about.

While all these factors are important to consider, they rank differently for each traveler. So which will you choose? Your dream location or staying close to home?
