If you're interested in transitioning into a career as a travel healthcare professional, you may have some hesitation...but shouldn't!

<div>
  If you&#39;re interested in transitioning into a career as a travel healthcare
  professional, you may have some hesitation. Travel assignments are so
  different than the standard healthcare job in one set location, which can
  certainly be considered a good thing, depending on what you&#39;re looking for
  in your current career and lifestyle. Learn more about four fears that might
  hold you back from a travel assignment this spring, and why you shouldn&#39;t
  worry.

<h2>1.Travel Assignments Are Only in Less Reputable or Undesired Locations</h2>

<div>
  It&#39;s a myth that if a healthcare facility is a great place to work, surely
  they won&#39;t have trouble having enough workers on staff and wouldn&#39;t
  need to hire workers for short-term assignments. A wide variety of healthcare
  facilities, even large renowned ones, hire for short-term assignments due to a
  shortage of qualified professionals in the industry.

<h2>2.The Current Staff Will Be Unwelcoming to Short-Term Workers</h2>

<div>
  You may be afraid that you&#39;ll considered an outsider or looked at with
  suspicion from the current full-time staff at your assignment location.
  Fortunately, they are more likely be welcoming to you, as opposed to
  threatened, because you are providing much needed support for the team as a
  whole.
</div>

<h2>3.Travel Healthcare Assignments Aren&rsquo;t Consistently Available</h2>

<div>
  Perhaps you are hesitant about taking on a short-term travel assignment
  because you think it will be stressful to continue finding more assignments
  after you&#39;re done. There are many opportunities for travel assignments, so
  you can have your pick - if you want to take time off between assignments you
  can, or you can work with your staffing company and get your next one lined
  up.
</div>

<h2>4.Having a History of Travel Assignments Will Affect Future Job Search</h2>

<div>
  It is a misconception that travel assignments are somehow not considered as
  valuable of work experience as more steady healthcare jobs. Although these
  assignments have a shorter duration, they require the same high level skills
  as an equivalent permanent position. Healthcare hiring managers are likely
  familiar with travel professionals and wouldn&#39;t discount that experience
  on a resume.
