Responding to Crisis as a Registered Nurse

Unfortunately, the United States is a country often battered by crazy storms that seem to swoop down out of nowhere. Severe thunderstorms suddenly give way to destructive tornados. Houses come down, infrastructure is destroyed, and lives are in chaos. Registered nurses who work with victims of natural disasters see and hear the desperation. The adrenaline is pumping and the registered nurse has to know what to do, at any given time, without hesitation. Are you that registered nurse?

Through PPR Healthcare, you can specify where you'd like to work and if you're a free-spirit with no attachments back home, you might want to travel around the country responding to needs as they arise. Now, if you're wondering about pay, you can bet that the pay scale will be less than, say, working for an upscale cosmetic surgery clinic. Most registered nurses and healthcare professionals who work for non-profit agencies make considerably less money than their counterparts in other fields. Sometimes, money really isn't everything though. If you feel a pull towards people in crisis, if you thrive on the adrenaline and urgency of these types of situations, then accepting travel RN jobs responding to emergencies around the country might just be your cup of tea.

Registered nurses who work together in this type of atmosphere usually make strong, lifelong bonds. It can be a highly stressful job with people working closely together, making life or death decisions on a dime. For registered nurses, it can bring out the best in the human condition and for that reason, lifelong friendships are formed. No amount of money can substitute for that kind of experience.
