How does the whole travel nursing thing work?

I would really like for someone who is or was a travel nurse to tell me their experiences with travel nursing and if they enjoyed it. Also, what are the salaries and benefits?

Basically, you work for a company that contracts to hospitals that have staffing issues. You are then told where to go and when to be there. The pay is great. It’s usually about $60-70/hour. However, you should remember…there is usually a REASON that the hospitals have staffing issues!
