Where is your current assignment and what are some of your favorite places you’ve been to during this assignment? If you are currently taking a break from traveling, what city was your favorite assignment was in, along with top sites to see?

I’m currently on assignment in Kingsport, TN. I enjoy going to Cades Cove in the Smokey Mtns. and Gatlinburg.

What do you love most about working with TotalMed and/or your recruiter?

Paul knows me so well when it comes to locations! He knows I’m a Southern Girl who wouldn’t survive February in Wisconsin. He has a knack for finding the best locations and giving me honest feedback on the hospitals. I know if Paul is on vacation, I’m in good hands with whom ever is his back up. Paul is more like a family member than a co-worker!

Why did you decide to go into travel healthcare?

Just to get out and see new places.To experience different hospital cultures. I’ve learned so much from the many hospitals that I’ve been able to share with others.

What is your top tip for fellow travelers?

Be open minded and flexible. Nothing will be the way you’re used to doing things. You can take why so many new things from the different hospitals, nurses and doctors!
