Professional Choice 2020-2021: Travel Nursing Turns the Tide
Abstract:
Over the past 2 years, in tandem with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an interesting professional choice phenomenon occurred in the health care sector. Nurses' decisions to incorporate travel nursing into their career paths created a shift in the US nurse staffing landscape. What influenced this shift? Will the trend continue as the new "norm"? What leadership approaches can be harnessed to preserve continuity of expert nursing service delivery to patients? The authors present perspectives and offer suggestions to navigate the sea change that manifested in the wake of the pandemic.
