1st Experienced Example
"I did not initially choose to be a travel nurse. I worked critical care for quite some time. There came a time when I felt like I needed a change, but didn't want to leave nursing. I heard of travel nursing and did some research on it. I was so excited about the prospect of being able to travel while still caring for people."

2nd Experienced Example
"For me, travel nursing is the perfect way for me to accomplish two things I dearly enjoy: helping others and being able to constantly meet new people. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a nurse and then as I grew up I had the desire to see and experience other areas of the country. I feel travel nursing is the ideal way to be able to do both of those things."
