Is travel nursing a good long-term career path?

[WalterChang]

I’ve been thinking about whether travel nursing is something you can realistically do for years, or if it’s just better as a short-term opportunity. I know people who loved the flexibility and variety but eventually wanted stability. Has anyone here stayed in travel nursing long-term, and if so, do you feel it’s sustainable? Or does the lifestyle eventually become too exhausting?

I’ve been in travel nursing for almost six years, and while it has its challenges, I wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had. The variety of locations and hospitals has made me a stronger nurse. Yes, sometimes you get tired of moving, but with good planning, it’s manageable.

From my perspective, it comes down to personality. Some thrive on constant change and love meeting new people, while others find it draining over time. I think it’s absolutely possible to make it a career if you build routines around the moving and choose contracts carefully. But if you crave stability, it might serve you better as an exciting chapter rather than a permanent lifestyle.
