The first day of a new position is always nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to travel nursing and traveling to another city. Personally, I recommend starting your preparation early: learn about the clinic, check the schedule, check your documents. It really helps to make a list of things you will need for your shift, including your personal medical equipment. I always recommend arriving a little early to see the department and meet the staff. This reduces stress and helps you adapt faster. In travel nursing, it is especially important to be prepared for unexpected situations: new standards, unfamiliar equipment, different approaches to work. But it is precisely these moments that make the profession interesting and developing, and each new first day is a valuable part of your career.
