Prior posters are correct Florida is very low pay scale, especially in TV. There are more than 1000 retired healthcare people in TV. So someone will accept the offer. We I applied there were 50 applicants, turned position down because pay was a joke.

As far as traveler, it’s great perks, free housing, food allowance, healthcare, travel support.

Downside unless you have worked that facility system, 3 months is minimum, overseas 6 months. Most facilities have a 4 week training period, and beyond if you don’t adapt well, you can be shipped back. Yes it does happen.

Second you are the highest paid person, sometimes it’s not a great working environment. If it’s a slow day you stay, because according to contract you get paid working or not. So other employees are sent home, without pay, or use their personal hours.

That said I loved traveling, why, even if everyone hates you, hours suck, it’s only 3 months. Problem is if you are good,they really try to keep you so no new training for next traveler.

On average any place I want to travel to there are no less than 100 positions.
