Attending a religious service may be an important activity for traveling nurses. However, constantly traveling from one location to another can make finding a church, mosque, synagogue or place to worship difficult.

Many traveling nurses choose assignments, pack their things and hit the road intent on moving into a temporary home for the duration of their contracts. However, a growing number are declining to live in a hotel or temporary apartment and investing in recreational vehicles (RV).

A travel nurse is often alone on her journey to a new contract location, and traveling alone can exponentially increase the likelihood of safety concerns to crop up.

Nursing is a strenuous profession, filled with physical activity. Its daily tasks require lifting, pushing, turning and using almost all of the muscle groups. While it may be difficult to find time to work out between shifts, it can prevent being injured on the job.
