As nurses, we have lots of interesting job opportunities available to us. Among these is the option to become a travel nurse and see the world while practicing our vocation. Of course, there are concerns with this kind of work. Typically, one concern is what to do about owned homes and cherished pets.
Some travelers assign family members or friends to maintain their residences while away.
Pets are often brought along to the assignment or given to friends or relatives to care for. HT recommends that if you are uncomfortable leaving anyone in your home while you're on assignment, which can last 13 weeks or longer, you may want to contact the local police to let them know your home will be vacant for an extended period of time. It is also a good idea to discontinue newspaper, mail, and other delivery services during this time. You may also want to store valuables in a safety deposit box or another secondary storage area.
