This is in coordination with our Travel Nursing Newbies (TNN) Facebook group, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TravelNursingNewbies/. The group was started by Kay Slane, RN, and sponsored by Highway Hypodermics. The group is for nurses and therapists wanting to jump into the big world of travel healthcare.

Travel Nursing Newbies is known for its network of highly experienced nurses, Radiology & CT Scan technicians, homeschool experts, RV travel experts, and leaders in the recruitment side of things. Our list of Recruiters that Cater to Newbies is a network of vetted recruiters that have been in the industry for over 5 years, with quite a few of them that have 10+ years of experience.
