#Slowlife Is Trending – We Are Here To Help

This year we are seeing a tremendous amount of movement online responding to the hashtag “slowlife”. The concept of “slow living,” as seen with the millions of views and tags, is a new concept of balance.

There is a new conversation in this online era about taking life too seriously… and too quickly. There are conversations going around that, while we focus on one particular part of our lives, there are other parts passing us by. Then, one day, we look up and realize how much time has gone by.

In light of this conversation, people are asking themselves: What do they want? What do they need to do to “slow down” this marathon they are running? For many people, this can mean a career change. Doing something they love, that they enjoy and feel fulfilled in, and having a balance in their personal lives.

Travel nursing may be the change that you need. A new balance. Seeing some new places, interacting with new people—all while making a schedule that works for you. Setting your own goals and fulfilling your dreams is what a career can be. By having the career you want, everything else will fall into place:

  • Enjoying all the hobbies you want to do.
  • Taking the trip that’s been floating around in the back of your mind.
  • Taking that next step and living in the moment.

Whatever that dream might be, Fidelity On Call is here to help make your goals a reality.

Why Travel Healthcare WORKS for Back- to- School

Hard to believe we are now at the back-to-school time of the year. For many people there is a certain amount of stress that comes with those three words. All the things that begin again – homework, packed lunches, extracurricular activities, bus schedules and more. Whether you are a parent with children going back to school or you are the student working toward your advanced degree, back-to school causes its own set of dilemmas. Finding the right amount of work-life balance can be a struggle. However, it most certainly does not have to be.

As a healthcare licensed professional, you have options that are unlike many other professional industries. You can work as a staff employee at a hospital or other like medical setting for your specialty or you can be employed by a reputable healthcare travel agency.

If you are an experienced professional with at least one year of experience, you should reach out to a recruiter here at Fidelity on Call to discuss all options available to you. Why work 36 or 40 hours a week to also have your phone blow up on your time off to be asked or manipulated to come into work, when you likely already have so many other things to do?

Loyalty is so important and being a team player, we agree, is important. However, it always seems that the most loyal and flexible people get used time and time again with no repercussions for those that do the bare minimum.

In travel healthcare, you have the freedom and flexibility to choose. You only must work your 36 hours or 40 hours, whichever contract terms you choose. Yes, you CAN work extra and so many travelers do, however, you are not mandated or forced to, and many do not work more than what they are agreeing to work.
There is no “one size fits all” in travel healthcare, but there are so many opportunities every day.

We have employees that are diverse in what their individual needs are and work hard to ensure they have opportunities available to fit their unique needs.

In business since 1994, Fidelity On Call has hundreds of relationships with medical facilities all over Illinois and other states as well.

Whether you are the parent of the kiddo that is headed back to school, you are back to school, or all the above applies, the freedom and flexibility of choosing what your work is going to be like for 13 weeks at a time, gives you the ability to meet all your obligations and still schedule some down time for you and or you and your family. With NO GUILT.

Take the first step to relieve those back-to-school worries. Call and speak with a recruiter today. Our recruiters can:

  • discuss your goals with you
  • the benefit packages available
  • competitive pay packages
  • assignments open

…and so much more that is personalized for you at this very busy time of the year. Let us help take the stress and worry out of this time of the year and allow you to enjoy it.
