Work travel as a nurse- what I wish I knew

As a nurse practitioner that works in the corporate world, my role requires about 20-40% travel. This basically just means that this is the predicted amount of travel I’ll be doing out of my full time hours.

So what am I doing when I travel for work? A big part of my role is building partnerships with physicians and healthcare teams- when I travel it’s either to establish/ nurture those relationship OR to attend conferences to identity new leads. Sometimes the travel can be hectic and I have multiple big meetings scheduled where I need to present. Other times it’s a little more laid back, like attending a conference and staffing a conference booth.

As a nurse at the bedside I had no clue what people meant when they said they traveled for work, so trying to shed some light on it!

Curious, are you for or against-traveling for work?

Traveling as a nurse can be rewarding yet challenging. Understanding the dynamics of work travel in healthcare is crucial for nurse practitioners and registered nurses alike. When you take on a role that requires travel, such as attending conferences and meetings, it’s vital to prepare effectively. Tips include setting clear objectives for your trips, managing time efficiently to balance work commitments with personal time, and ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance. Networking is integral; it helps in forging lasting relationships with other healthcare professionals. Engaging with peers can also lead to exciting opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Moreover, staying updated with the latest trends in healthcare and biotechnology while visiting different locations allows nurses to bring back valuable insights to their own practices. Whether you’re attending a conference or meeting to establish partnerships, being well-prepared will enhance your professional journey. Embrace the experiences gained through travel, as they contribute significantly to your career development in the nursing field.
