Thanks for commenting, it's good to know there are kindred spirits out there who understand the ups and downs of travel life and how fast things can change on the road. It takes us right to the edge and just when we can't stand it one more minute, poof....everything changes. LOL, Happy travels to you!

I can tell by day 2, or sometimes hour 2, if a facility is a stinker or not. Our first assignment two years ago got cancelled a week before it started after we rented our house, moved into an RV, and drove halfway across the country. Great start! I think we learn to take things in stride.Fritzripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831914226926383888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896916345119209701.post-47751686024026726942015-03-01T07:01:50.598-08:002015-03-01T07:01:50.598-08:00Love Washington State!

Steve is committed to a 48 hour work week in this contract, so when he's off, he needs complete rest and relaxation. Not dealing with rv issues. I did secure our apt housing this time and we were able to accept the housing stipend so that made a big difference in the take home pay for this assignment. We're still learning about this travel nursing gig and enjoy reading your blog too!
