    Travel Nursing from a Travel Nurse Recruiter Perspective

    This week I sit down with my brother Sam, a travel nurse recruiter, to discuss travel nursing from his perspective.  We talk about the highest and lowest paid states for travel nurses, what it means for a recruiter to "take a margin", how much a recruiter margin should be, and why travel nurses get paid differently.  If you want to connect with Sam, find me on Instagram and I will pass along his information!
