66. Pursuing a Career as a Traveling Nurse Practitioner with Alisa, The Traveling NP

One area of nursing that many people are interested in is being a traveling nurse.  I feel like we hear about this opportunity all the time in the nursing world, but less so in this nurse practitioners phase. With that in mind I am super excited to have our newest guest walk us through her experience as a traveling nurse.    In today's episode I talk to Alisa Nitschelm, a traveling surgical nurse practitioner who is actively licensed in 11 states. When she's not working you can find her catching some waves at the beach!    During our conversation, Alisa talks about her desire to combine traveling with being a nurse, what type of experience to have under your belt before becoming a traveling nurse, the importance of updating your CV, and how she balances motherhood and being a traveling nurse.   In this episode we cover: Alisa shares more about her journey into being a traveling nurse practitioner [1:11] Finding opportunities as a traveling nurse [4:09] The ideal amount of experience to have before becoming a traveling nurse [9:41] How to get started [12:45] Great resources for traveling NPs [16:02] Balancing life and work as a traveling NP [17:55] http://www.stressfreenp.com/66
