Mental & Emotional Support for Travel Nurses
Chances are, if you’ve traveled with us, you’ve met Chaplains Janice or Chris. The emotional burden of nursing is real, and it’s important that our nurses know they have someone they can speak to confidentially for emotional support. Whether it’s a personal or work-related burden, our chaplains are available. Each of our travelers will receive a welcome call from one of our chaplains so they know how to get in touch with them should they need to do so. Be sure to check out this post about our chaplains and how they have helped our nurses. Maybe you want to talk to a nurse, someone who truly understands the stresses of the job. Our Clinical Department does more than complete behind-the-scenes tasks to ensure your assignment runs smoothly, they also offer professional and emotional support.
