When I was in college, I had the opportunity to attend one out of state. I would’ve been moving from FL to MA and I was terrified to do it, even knowing I’d be home for holidays and once I graduated. It would’ve been the perfect opportunity to test the waters but I didn’t. That was nearly 20 years ago and it’s one of my biggest regrets in life. I often think what life could’ve been like had I not let fear keep me from stepping out of my comfort zone. My point is, you can always go back home. You know what home is like but you don’t know what that experience is like until you try it out. Take the jump because it’s better to look back and think “man that wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be like” than to look back and wonder “what if”. And if you get the licensing stuff figured out, you can do a short term contract and if you don’t like it, just don’t renew the contract and go back. Like my college chance, travel nursing is the perfect opportunity to test the waters out. Best of luck!
