What's It Actually Like? (Floating, First Assignment, MS/Tele-Specific)

Coming soon

This post is being written by a working MS/Tele travel nurse — no agency spin, no recycled blog copy. Check back soon for the full breakdown.

What this post will cover

The first 30 days at a new hospital: orientation, badges, charting systems, who to actually ask.

Floating realities: how often it happens, what "like units" really means, when to push back.

MS/Tele ratios across different regions and what to expect at a 6:1 vs. 5:1 hospital.

How travelers get treated by staff — the good, the petty, and the surprisingly welcoming.

When to extend, when to walk, and how to leave a contract on good terms.
