The healthcare industry is always evolving, travel nursing opportunities have become more demanding in certain states across the U.S.. As a nurse when you are looking to explore new positions, not only are you seeking the best paying, but also an exciting adventure. Recent reports for 2017 have shown that the following states are at the top for travel nursing.

From a company's perspective, we want to tell you "DON'T DO IT" with every breath in our being but, there are various reasons why you may get into a situation where you absolutely have to end your assignment. This past year alone, I've had 10 people that had to walk off assignment. The longer you contract, the more likely it is that you'll eventually run into a situation that you can't fulfill a commitment. One nurse had a family medical emergency that was unforeseen, anot
