Shalon Kearney, RN, MSN

Shalon Kearney traveled the country side for 9 years. While looking for her calling in life, she discovered her desire to write and help others who also wanted to travel or were currently traveling and wanted more information than what was out there.

She wrote the book titled: Hitting the Road: A guide to travel nursing. The book was published by Lippincott and has been very successful.

Once she began writing, "the book took on a life of it's own", she said. "This is when you know you are writing something that was needs to be written," she says.

While writing the book, she could see what seemed to be missing in the travel industry.

The industry needed a sense of community, a place to go and get or share information.

Travelers were also looking for answers to the ongoing question: who is the best company to work for?

Travelers also needed a place to go for support and answers to tax questions and travel tips.

After the book, she then designed this site to help fill in some of those gaps.

She prides herself in the fact that the site is not commercialized and therefore, the true story of travel nursing is presented and not just the commercial rosy picture side.

"Traveling is a wonderful profession, she says, but it has it's ups and downs like any other profession."

She is here for the traveler and makes herself available to questions any time someone needs travel advice.

She hopes to aide in improving the standards of the travel nursing industry.

"I am still working on a way to improve the paperwork issues when applying to travel companies. Too much paperwork", she says.

She has limited time, but she consistently works to improve the site and bring readers what they need and has for the last 5 years.
