Embarking on a clinical travel assignment can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Whether you’re a seasoned healthcare professional or this is your first travel nursing placement, venturing into new healthcare environments presents unique challenges. To make the most of your next placement, here are some invaluable tips to keep in mind:

1. Stay in Touch with Your Recruiter

Your recruiter is your lifeline throughout your adventure in clinical travel. They are your first point of contact and can provide crucial information about your assignment, location, and facility. Regular communication with your recruiter ensures that you’re well-informed and prepared. Keep them updated about your preferences, concerns, and any changes in your plans. A strong partnership with your recruiter can make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. At Vibra Travels, we provide white-glove service to our travelers. We’re here for you!

2. Overcommunicate Your Needs

A successful clinical travel experience hinges on effective communication with your support team. This team includes not only your recruiter but also our clinical and human resources staff. By providing comprehensive information, you empower your support team to cater to your individual needs, creating a more comfortable and fulfilling travel experience. We’ll meet your needs if we know what they are!

3. Reach Out When Questions Arise

In a new clinical setting, questions are bound to arise—both administrative and clinical. Reach out to our clinical team. We have a director of clinical services who will work directly with you on growth opportunities or clinical concerns. Don’t hesitate to seek clarification or guidance when uncertainty surfaces.
