Nurse burnout is very real. Read this nurse’s experience and discover how he used traveling to overcome burnout and truly discover himself.

The term burnout is used so much it seems to have lost its impact. My time as a travel nurse has allowed me to gain a unique perspective I would like to share.

Packing up my 1997 Jeep Wrangler and beginning a new adventure always excited and scared me at the same time. I guess it was the unknown that held the allure.
