Your empty nest can be a launching pad to an energized career and adventurous discoveries.

So you’ve raised the kids, they’re on their own, and now you’re an empty-nester. So, what’s next? Sure, it may take some adjustment to having so much newfound freedom, but maybe it’s your turn to shake things up and have a career adventure as a healthcare traveler.

If you’ve had a career in healthcare for a few years, you’re probably familiar with the concept of being a healthcare traveler -- someone who combines their love for travel with a passion for working in healthcare. It's a way to explore new cities, learn more about different healthcare facilities, experience different cultures, and continue to make a positive impact on people's lives while earning a very attractive income. 

One of the most exciting aspects of being a healthcare traveler is deciding where you want to go. From vibrant cities to tranquil coastal towns, the possibilities are exciting. You can research different locations, learn about different healthcare systems, and then align your personal and professional goals with how they function.

Where to Start?

As a healthcare traveler, it's crucial to understand your options. If you work with Anders Group you have the support of healthcare professionals who will help you find the work you want, where you want it. They know the different healthcare systems and regulations in the places you plan to visit, along with local licensing requirements, insurance coverage, and any necessary certifications. You’ll get all the help you need from your Anders Group expert from day one.

Networking Opens Doors.

Finding job opportunities in a new city can be challenging, unless you’re working with Anders Group. We maintain a database of thousands of job openings throughout the country. We can help you get to where you want to go, simply and effectively. Anders Group encourages all of our travelers to get involved with networking opportunities, such as attending industry conferences and events, joining social media and online communities, and meeting fellow healthcare professionals. 

Work Smart. Play Happy.

Being a healthcare traveler isn't all work and no play! While your work as a healthcare professional is important, it's equally crucial to explore and enjoy the city you find yourself in. From trying local cuisine to visiting tourist attractions, strike a balance between work and play to make the most of your experience.

Testing New Waters.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a healthcare worker is immersing yourself in new cultures. In each new location you’ll discover unique local traditions, new perspectives, and enlightening customs and beliefs of the people you meet. These experiences will shape your journey and leave a lasting impression.

An Empty-Nester’s Journey

As your empty-nest, healthcare traveler experiences unfold, take time to reflect on your journey. Look back at the places you've been, the people you've met, the knowledge you’ve gained, and the lives you've touched. Celebrate your growth, the connections you've made, and the memories you've created. Your journey as a healthcare traveler will transform you as an adventurer who is ready for new discoveries and learning.
