Reply to comment by Grass8989 in What forced hospitalization feels like in New York City, as Mayor Adams pushes for more by psychothumbs

If travel nurses get a contract to work in a hospital elsewhere but have no hospital experience (and get one day (or less) of orientation from what I hear), do you really want a nurse like that taking care of your loved ones?

A lot of the travel nurses are quite experienced so I personally wouldn’t mind, but regardless this is just the reality of nursing right now.

You’ve clearly missed reading any part of my comments. You don’t encourage new grads to go into travel right away because they don’t have enough experience.

I KNOW the current travel nurses have plenty of hospital experience, that’s why they get to be good travel nurses.

I never said you can be a new grad and immediately start traveling, however you usually can after a year or so depending on the agency, which is very appealing to (relatively) new nurses
