Everywhere you look unemployment rates are rising. Everywhere that is, except in the Nursing Profession. While many analyst expect the Jobless rate to increase even more. The out look for Travel Nurse positions remains optimistic. As a matter of fact, travelers salaries are better than ever before. Because those employees are flexible and can relocate to where the positions are. Travel Nurse's can have a "Safe. Haven" in troubled economic seas.

According to industry spokesmen from various Nurse Travel Agencies, I have spoken to "Travel Nursing is an extremely stable employment market." they report. Adding to this, the already looming Nursing shortage, and the decision of some Universities like ASU to cut or Scale back their Nursing Programs, and you have a skilled position with very high demand. Hospitals still show no let up Patient loads, and they are still using nursetravlers in high numbers.

This unfortunately creates a win to lose situation. It's a loss because it is bad for the patient but good for our job security.
