The following training course educates healthcare providers on the importance of quality end-of-life care. The phrase “end-of-life care” refers to the assistance and medical attention provided in the latter stages of life.

For first-time travel nurses, it may be a bit of a shock to discover that the hardest part of the new gig isn’t adjusting to the actual work–it is adjusting to all of the time you have to fill on your days off. Without social or familial obligations, your free time on assignment can start to feel abundant, and not always in a good way.
