"The Daily Dose"

To all the second year nursing students nearing graduation-hang in there To the first year students finishing your first semester or quarter…..enjoy your free time now!

This time of the year is particularly difficult for nursing students. Not only is there the demanding schedule of clinical rotations and work associated with finals and nursing exams, but you also have the upcoming holidays, sporting events, and work! Balancing these responsibilities can often be difficult-so remember……you are almost done with school! It might seem like school will never end but it will. And once you are done you can enjoy the holidays like never before. Imaging just how thankful you will be next Thanksgiving when you are working amongst the world’s kindest and brightest, earning a generous wage, and helping people in distress. Imagine Christmas with extra money for the holidays. Sounds good right! So keep your focus and keep your eyes on the prize.

Many of you may in fact have secured jobs and positions with your current employer or at a facility in which you are performing clinical. But many of you are also still feeling out the job market and interested in exploring some of the many exciting opportunities soon to be available to you. For the latter, look for a Medical Staffers booth at a college job fair or university career fair near you! Please take the time to stop by and visit, ask questions, and enjoy some of our free merchandise and snacks while you visit. We look forward to seeing you there!

Autumn and Winter are special times for many traveling medical professionals. While many travelers in the industry scamper South to obtain assignments in warmer climates, a few brave souls embrace the opportunity and adventure that can only be found spending the Holidays and New Year in the great northern parts of the United States.

If like the many before you, you have ever dreamed of walking through the Autumn leaves of the gorgeous New England States, skiing or snowboarding Vail and Aspen, relaxing with a good book and cup of hot cocoa in Montana, or going to Soldier Field to catch a Bears game, then now is the time to take the challenge of bundling up for great assignment with Travel Nurse Career and go north for the fall and winter season!

TNC offers a vast array of fall and winter positions in the Northern US. And what’s better than a real white Christmas-a white Christmas with GREAT PAY and bonus*!

*Any candidates who sing up by Nov 1 will receive a real Christmas courtesy of medical staffers.

Known as the “Garden City” for its dense trees and lush green landscape, Missoula is nestled in the heart of the northern Rockies in Western Montana. A community of nearly 100,000 residents, Missoula lies in a beautiful mountain forest setting where five valleys converge. The city began as a settlement called Hell Gate and was later renamed Missoula, taken from the Salish Indian word that means “near the cold, chilling waters”.

One of the most desirable places to live and visit in the United States, Missoula has something for everyone. It serves as Montana’s center for education, medicine, business and the arts. Recreational opportunities abound throughout the entire year-from sightseeing and hiking to horseback riding, skiing, biking, golfing, mountain climbing, water activities and more. As Montana’s most culturally diverse city, Missoula is known for its museums, galleries, dance companies, live theater, symphony orchestra

Here is just a snapshot of the beauty we are surrounded by everyday.  Missoula Montana is such a beautiful place and home to our headquarters.  Being surrounded by this majestic scenery inspires us everyday to stay as energized and forthright with our business as the land commands.  It is hard to describe, but living in such a beautiful area as western Montana keeps you invigorated, inspired and there is a certain honesty that is demanded by the land. 

We carry this into our business ethics and stay inspired to help facilities in our region and nationwide by staffing them with the best possible candidates available.  We serve as advocates to our staff at all times, be it fighting for the highest possible wage or the most desired location, we go to bat for you. 

On my daily commute to the office, i take a big look around me and remind myself why I am in this business, to help healthcare professionals experience the beauty of the location they most desire.
