I started travel nursing in 2022, but it was a rocky process to get going. I made a bunch of mistakes and had to 'wing' it the entire time because there weren't any resources out there. 

Shortly after starting my first contract in the U.S. where I was making buckets of money, I put together a 176-page Canuck to Yankee Guide outlining the entire process I went through to make it easier for nurses who were looking to start the process for themselves too. 

As a side note, I also reached DEFCON ONE when I ran out of ketchup chips after just a couple months and started developing a Boston accent *cries* 

Since then, I have created TONS of resources over the last couple of years while working as an OR nurse (travel, staff & private) from my cozy, little apartment in Ottawa, Ontario. This educational business keeps me so busy with never-ending projects and ideas, I can never find the time to take my next travel contract to somewhere cool!

And this brings us to now. My current project is: Revamp the website. 

Then, I will be introducing a monthly newsletter and I plan to launch a series of webinars including...

- A monthly overview of the process for beginners,
- A monthly webinar focused on relocation,
- A monthly 'Happy Hour' for current travel nurses on assignment who might be feeling a bit isolated, and
- Miscellaneous webinars on important subjects or with essential third-party figures (e.g. an accountant coming to speak to us about deductions).

I also plan to revamp the Canuck to Yankee Guide to improve readability. Then, I will convert it into a series of modules... Which will be the makings of an upcoming Mentorship Program!

In the meantime, I have a long list of ideas for the group, but always love getting feedback or ideas from others! Feel free to reach out.

I can't believe it has been less than 3 years since this all started! Here's hoping it has made all the difference to many, many nurses and will continue to do so for years to come!
