Look, we get it. Working during the “most wonderful time of the year” can really suck. You’re stuck at a hospital while everyone else is getting to cozy up by the fire. Not to mention you’re tired, cranky, hangry, and all of this holiday cheer is bringing you to the brink of strangling the next patient who hits their call light.
Unfortunately, we’re not here to change that. What we can do is momentarily distract you from the existential dread of working a holiday shift by reminding you of why you got into travel healthcare in the first place—for the awesome #TravelNurseAdventures that you could have never had as a permanent staffer.
So without further ado, check out these 12 wonderful social media posts that will hopefully inspire you to make your own travel nurse adventures during the holiday season. Or at the very least will keep you from going insane.
1. BRB, going to buy a camper and renovate it to look exactly like this because it’s gorgeous.
2. In Hawaii? During Christmas? Now that’s living the dream.
3. Remember to equip your doggo with the latest winter fashions when bringing them along for fun in the snow.
4. Taking a good look at The Monkey Face in Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.
