Great things are happening in the Travel Nursing Community. In an effort to promote travel nurse socialization and support, The Gypsy Nurse Ambassador Program was born. As a part of the Gypsy Nurse Ambassador Program, we have organized events happening all over the country. The Gypsy Nurse Ambassadors work hard to bring you exciting and fun events as frequently as possible. In addition to meeting other Gypsy Nurses and having a Great time, you can earn your Gypsy Bracelet and Charm by attending an Ambassador sponsored event! Rockstar Party Bus – Las Vegas Las Vegas, NV This event was organized by your Gypsy Ambassador Carla Ten members of the Gypsy Nurse Caravan got together and went on the Rock Star Party Bus Tour. We had a fabulous time. We enjoyed some of Las Vegas’ most exclusive clubs. I think the favorite one was the Chatea; on the roof of Paris Paris.

I guess you could say that I am an activity planner of sort and always have been. See the history of this endeavor HERE. 2013 THE Gypsy Nurse CARAVAN GROUP I would like to say a huge Thank You to Carla Moore, for her idea regarding building The Gypsy Nurse Caravan Group via Facebook. I hadn’t even considered the potential of facebook groups for building a supportive network for travel nurses. A second Thank You goes out to all of the ‘Gypsy’s’ that have joined the Caravan. Your interaction, support to others and involvement has made the Caravan a huge success. With only 2 months in existence and just over 300 members, I have already witnessed some new relationships develop and strangers meet. The vision of a nationwide network of Travel nurses is in the making. It’s very exciting for me to be a part of this.

Information on Staffing Agencies from those working for them. Assistance and advice on Locations, Contracts, Activities. A centralized location to promote activities, events, meet-up’s for Travel Nurses ….much more! Look how we’ve grown in only 7 months!! Spreading the word of these resources in order to […]
