Hi, my DH is thinking he will be a travel nurse when he finishes school.   I'm thinking an rv will be better than flying around and living in furnished places....

Thanks for your input!

Me too, I work for the auto industry and travel for months at a time.


its nice to have your own stuff and easier for pets. I pay $350 a month + electric here in Chattanooga tn where i'm on the new VW plant.

I've met a few traveling nurses in the campgrounds.

For me the only downside is that it's hard to locate a suitable campground close to work. I'm not too bad here but Louisville was hard and Kansas City was about 30 mins away and the best one closed in November. Also weather extremes can be a "challenge" Keeping warm/cool/dry requires more work and preparation on your part than an apartment.

I know we have some folks who do that. Hopefully they will see your message and respond.

Construction workers also do this sort of thing a lot. An RV is great for anybody who needs to go to where the work is.

Another pair of travel nurses just joined the Forum - see their Intro here:

Hey Crayphish, the rv/5er/tt is the way to go. Been travel nursing for about 11yrs now, took a few to many yrs to realize that this was the way to go, but nevertheless I really believe its best for the gf and I. Did the condo/extended stay thing at first to get the hang of traveling but always wanted to pull my "house" with me. We have a 38' bunkhouse which is great with our 2 dogs plus the 1/2 bath in back comes in handy when getting ready for work as we both work the same shift.  The money is better and tax write off's and extra plus. We pick a place we wanna see look for the assingment and take off. We use about 5 different travel complanies so we have a better selection of assingments. After the DH graduates he'll need about 2yrs hospital experience and usually ACLS/TNCC for critical care positions, and your on the road. We've really enjoyed our way of life and think you will to. Really your getting paid to go camping, cant beat that with a stick. I you have any other questions on getting started PM us or post again.
