My profile has been audited, my tests have been scored, and my background check and drug screen have been reviewed!! I am cleared for arrival and a start date of September 19th!
I have not yet received my “First Day” email and suspect it will come Friday, but my recruiter reached out and gave me the All Clear so that I can go ahead and make plans to arrive!
The All Clear is crucial to Travel Nursing! So many things can happen even this late in the game. Start dates have been known to change and contracts can even be cancelled! Getting the All Clear is still not a guarantee, but it is a safe bet that I can count on this being a go.
I have heard of nurses spending money on travel, paying their first months rent (sometimes their full 13 weeks worth of rent), getting settled in their new host city only to have their contracts cancelled days before their start date. There is nothing to protect nurses from this happening and we do not get any financial compensation from the hospital or Travel agency when this happens.
With receiving the All Clear, I am officially leaving home base on Friday morning. I should be arriving in Missouri and my new host city Saturday evening, just in time to watch the sunset on the start of my next Travel Nurse adventure!
Keep following along as I get The ReImagine rolling and make my way to my next host city and Travel Nurse contract #8!
I will miss you
I’ll miss you! Only 13 weeks this time!!
