Healthcare Traveler - June 2008 - (Page 16) You Said It P E R S O N A L I Z E D V I E W S F R O M T R AV E L E R S What’s your top tip for the first-time traveler? » “Don’t take everything you own. You can buy inexpensive items, such as dishes, glassware, flatware, and towels, at a discount or dollar store when you arrive at your destination. And to make your travels lighter on the way back home, you can donate these things to Goodwill or a homeless shelter.” —Debbie Y. » “Be thoughtful about your assignment locations. The first time I traveled, I was asked to go to Maine. I accepted without thinking about being there in the deep of winter and had 13 weeks, from Thanksgiving until the end of February, with numerous inches of snow on the ground.” —MaryEtta Durham, RN » “My top tips: Be flexible and a positive influence. I’ve been traveling for 7 years and have found that flexibility is the traveler’s best friend. If you have to float or take a heavier assignment, be flexible enough to say, ‘Okay, I’m here to help where it’s needed.’ Others will admire you for it and your managers will notice, as well.” —P.S., RN » “Don’t bring too many clothes and shoes with you, like I did initially. Now, I only pack three shorts sets, two jeans sets, and one casual set of clothing for going out. I found that I’m usually in my uniform or my nightshirt anyway. Also, pack products, like toothpaste and shampoo, so you don’t have to buy them every time you start a new assignment.” —Cindy S. Next month’s question: Calling all travelers!
