How do you deal with lack of normalcy, and what is it like, when being a traveling professional?

I'm in 10th grade in a nursing program, and I'm interested in being a travel nurse. I would like to know more information and see if it is a good option for me!

I've been a flight attendant for over 20 years. As with anything, you get used to it. At first it may seem overwhelming and chaotic to go from a non-traveling mode to a constant traveling one, but we're adaptable creatures and you'll adjust.

The part I like the least is being away from loved ones. The part I like the most is being able to see the world, explore cities and always meeting new & interesting people.

Of course, you can do it for a little while and simply stop if or when you get tired of it. After 2 decades of travel, I still can't get enough! I suppose it depends on one's personality.

Agata’s Answer

I can't speak for traveling nurses, but I've traveled for business over 10 years, Monday through Thursday each week. I've crossed different time zones, stayed in many hotels, and rented lots of cars. It's tiring, but also rewarding. You get to travel everywhere, meet new people, help solve problems, give advice, and feel like you're making a difference. Like everything, it has pros and cons, depending on what motivates you.

One downside is my social life suffered. Being away so much meant I spent weekends resting and catching up. Constant travel is demanding, and our bodies get tired, especially when adjusting to different time zones.

The upside is visiting new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different situations. It offers personal growth by exposing you to real life out there.
