Ask For An Early Move-in An early move is suggested by experienced travel nurses because it enables you to relax and breathe a little before embarking on your new travel nursing job. Familiarize yourself with the place and the people. And best of all, enjoy the new sights because one of the major perks of having a career in travel nursing is of course... the travel.

Getting to your travel nurse assignment early is a great way to check out your new surroundings, map out your commute to the hospital, and get settled in before your first day of work. While an early-move in is not always status quo, if you speak with your travel nurse housing coordinator early enough in the process they will often do what they can to accommodate you.
