We all experience job burnout occasionally, but it’s surprisingly common in the medical field. Medical professionals tend to work long hours full of demanding tasks that can leave them physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. (If you’re in the medical profession, you probably know what we mean.)
After a long day at work, it can be nice to return to your home’s quiet, peaceful environment. But some people don’t have traditional housing or employment situations. Traveling nurses need to have special skills–more than their ability to care for patients. They need an attitude of flexibility when it comes to their jobs and their temporary living arrangements. That’s where RVing enters the picture for a traveling nurse.
The Benefits Of Rving As A Traveling Nurse
While some people may not consider a job less stressful if it constantly changes and moves them from one place to another across the state (or even the country), others are happy to live this unpredictable lifestyle.
Becoming a traveling nurse may be the perfect way to experience flexibility and adventure in your career. So, how does choosing RVing make your housing solutions easier?
- You Won’t Have To Worry About Where You’re Going To Live: Rving is the best way to ensure you’ll always have a place to stay during each new assignment. You can’t always plan very far ahead. Plus, you may not know what the housing market is like in your next destination. On top of that, some cities have extreme housing shortages, so apartments and hotel rooms may be scarce. With an RV in tow, you’ll always have a place to sleep at night.
- You’ll Likely Save Some Money: Hotels are expensive, and renting a house or apartment short-term doesn’t earn you points with the property management (though they offer short-term rentals, so it’s kind of on them). They’re also expensive options since a shorter lease typically means higher rent–for some reason. While you’ll have to pay different rates at each RV park you visit, they’re still reasonably priced compared to other housing options. Who doesn’t like the idea of saving some money, especially on necessary expenses like housing? Plus, you can pay nightly, weekly, or monthly–the perfect set-up for a traveling nurse.
- You Can Test Out The RV Life Before You Commit: RVing offers the promise of flexibility and adventure, which–as a traveling nurse–is right up your alley. But what if you aren’t sure about living in the smaller space of a Class B camper van? What if getting behind the wheel of a Class A intimidates you? Take a weekend and hit the road in an RV. Note the little and big details: Does it feel too big or small for your needs? Does it have a kitchen equipped to handle meal-prepping for the week ahead? Could you see yourself getting a good night’s sleep each night? How’s the storage space for your necessities? A test trip allows you to decide what RV suits your lifestyle.
- Move On To Your Next Assignment With Ease: When you’ve completed a job and are ready to move on, pack up your RV and head out on the road. It’s as simple as that. You won’t have to worry about where you’re going (RV parks and resorts are everywhere these days). If you know your next assignment location, book a stay at a nearby RV park.
If you’re still waiting for news about your next job, visit a tourist attraction or head to see friends and family. The great thing about RVing is you have the freedom and flexibility to go where you want and enjoy the ride.
