Nurse Sara Dean of Mount Juliet, Tenn., attends her daughter Harper's gymnastics practice. Dean spent nearly two years travelling the country as a nurse, gaining a much higher salary than she could at home.
So she took a leave from her hospital job and signed her first three-month contract to go to New Mexico. Her immediate family came with her; her boyfriend could work remotely and her daughter was in virtual school. And when not working, they enjoyed exploring the desert on dirt bikes. "I didn't really have that many friends," Harper explained about her desire to come home."I miss it so much being able to be surrounded by different people all the time."
"This makes me sound like I'm in it for the money, but essentially I'm in it for what's best for my family," Dean says. Hospitals have been exploring ways to get out of relying so much on staffing agencies, who the American Hospital Association has formally accused of price gouging during the pandemic. The AHA has requested that the Federal Trade CommissionVivian Health is an online marketplace for travel nursing jobs and tracks pay rates across the country. The San Francisco-based tech firm also is assisting hospitals that are trying to move away from their reliance on temporary staffing.
