Fall is here and that means it’s time to start thinking about your travel nursing assignments for the year! If you’re like me, you probably already have a few ideas in mind. But before you sign anything, there are a few things you should keep in mind. So read on for my top tips on how to make sure your fall assignment is perfect!

1. Do your research

This is probably the most important thing on this list. Before you commit to anything, make sure you do your research and ask around. Travel nursing is a great way to see new places and meet new people, but it’s not for everyone. Talk to other travel nurses who have been on assignments in the area you’re interested in and get their advice. Also, be sure to read reviews of the facility you’ll be working at. You want to make sure it’s a good fit for you before you sign anything!

2. Consider the weather

When you’re picking a place to travel to, the weather is definitely something you should consider. If you’re not a fan of cold weather, then a fall assignment in a cold place is probably not going to be the best fit for you. On the other hand, if you love the cooler temperatures, then a fall assignment somewhere like Colorado might be perfect!

3. Make a budget

This is another important thing to keep in mind when you’re planning your travel nursing assignment. You’ll need to factor in things like housing and transportation costs, as well as your daily expenses. Be sure to create a budget and stick to it! This will help you avoid any financial stress while you’re on your assignment.

4. Pack wisely

When you’re packing for your trip, be sure to pack wisely! This means bringing only the essentials and leaving room in your suitcase for souvenirs. Also, be sure to check the weather forecast for your destination so you can pack appropriately. No one wants to be stuck in a cold place without a coat!

5. Have fun!

This is probably the most important tip on this list. Remember, you’re going on this trip to have fun! So make sure you take advantage of all the great things your destination has to offer. Explore the area, try new things, and meet new people. This is your chance to make some amazing memories, so don’t waste it!

Follow these tips and you’re sure to have a great fall travel nursing assignment!
