    The first step is finding a recruiter you like, then deciding on an
    assignment, and finally going through the credentialing process required by
    each hospital. After you&rsquo;ve successfully completed these steps
    however, you may still be nervous about what to expect on your first day on
    the job. Caridad has some advice for new travel nurses who want to be
    successful on a travel assignment. She tells them to:
  </div>

  <ul>
    <li>Be flexible</li>
    <li>Be respectful of the hospital&rsquo;s procedures</li>
    <li>Do your best as a traveler in that hospital</li>
  </ul>
