Season of Change: Your Time to Make a Move

As the seasons shift, one welcoming the other with a gentle embrace, we’re reminded of the goals and dreams we set at the start of the year. Maybe it was hitting the gym more, spending time with friends, or carving out time for yourself. Or maybe it was something bigger—like getting a new car, making changes in your personal life, or finally taking that step toward a new career.

Whatever your goal, now is the perfect time to revisit those aspirations. The year isn’t over yet, and just like the changing seasons, it’s never too late to make your move.

At Fidelity On Call, we’re here to support you in pursuing your goals—whether that’s exploring a new city, meeting amazing new people, or building new skills in your profession. If you’ve been thinking about a career change, why not consider travel nursing?

Travel nursing is the ultimate opportunity to shake things up, experience something new, and grow both personally and professionally. You’ll have the chance to cross off those big career goals you set at the beginning of the year, all while working with a supportive team that’s here to help you thrive.

If you’re ready to embrace the season of change, we’re ready to welcome you into the Fidelity On Call family. Let’s make those dreams happen, together!

#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.

How to Reach Your Goals With Fidelity

Statics tell us that after the 3rd week in January, we have already forgotten our goals for the new year. We want to remind you that, as spring slowly approaches, the time to put your goals into action is now. Are you ready to explore a new career opportunity? Do you need more flexibility in your schedule? Are you a parent or a student? Is it time for a career change?

Travel nursing is popular for providing an opportunity to its nurses to expand their knowledge, practice, and network with peers. Beyond that, travel nursing has a reputation for creating a flexible space to create a schedule tailored to the individual nurse.

Creating a space for growth and career satisfaction, travel nursing can very well be the answer to one of your goals. One big opportunity that it provides is the ability to travel and try out new places, where a nurse, as an individual, can carve out a space for themselves. Being able to explore new options, places, and opportunities not only increases the probability of prosperity, but most importantly, it decreases the possibility of burnout.

Often, spring goals are centered around putting ourselves first.

  • Perhaps taking a new leap or facing a challenge.
  • Bettering oneself in various ways, whether it be emotional or physical health.
  • Maybe it isn’t about a change within ourselves, but a time to alter ourselves socially. From our workspace to our friends, all of which impact our moods, priorities, and everyday lives.

This is the time to create a new space for yourself within your career. Putting yourself first in your career is possible, and we are here to offer you that help and guidance in order to make your spring goals possible.

How to START your Travel Healthcare Professional Career Part 2

As we mentioned in PART ONE, thirty years in the healthcare travel industry gives our experienced, professional healthcare recruiters knowledge that so many others do not yet have.

Once you have researched agencies, connected with a recruiter, and have some clinical experience under your belt you should follow these next steps:

  • CREATE your RESUME: While you will be or should be required to complete an employment application with any reputable agency you seek, it is always a great idea to have an up-to-date resume to ship over to your recruiter to save you both time and energy. Detailed work histories are not only important in the process but required by every potential client.
  • PREPARE your DOCUMENTATION: Gather necessary documentation like transcripts, licenses, certifications, and immunization records. Every facility has unique requirements for a traveler to work in their facility, but the above items are wanted by every facility. The rest will come when the onboarding and credentialing team know the location selected.
  • Location and Housing Options: Perhaps you wish to start traveling locally or at minimum in the same state. Discuss what you need for housing and what is available. Perhaps you wish to work housing out on your own. You may also want to use the agency housing specialist to set it up on your behalf.
