Paper Trail—You must have all the paperwork done before leaving, and keep necessary documents organized so you can access them as needed. Make sure you bring your original records and copies of everything. From the licensing process to any test results and certifications, a recruiter will be able to assist you with getting all those important papers together, completed and in the right hands.

Employment Package—The recruiter should answer all your questions in a timely and professional manner. If there is any part of the application process, the contract or the travel plans that you don’t understand, make sure you ask questions until the process is completely clear. Specifically ask about pay rate, overtime, bonuses, the float policy of the facility and all benefits. Get copies of all the benefits and coverage that you are being offered, and read the contract thoroughly before signing.

Have an Adventure—The main reason to become a Vermont travel nurse is to experience, have adventures and immerse yourself in a new place that is unlike where you come from. Take advantage of time off and visit the state’s top attractions. Spend an afternoon at a museum or art gallery, or take a weekend to crisscross the state and see where the roads take you. From high culture to rugged outdoor activities, Vermont caters to just about any level of adventure you are seeking.
