3 Must-Ask Questions Before Starting Your Next Travel Assignment

Updated: Aug 1



Summer is the time for all school-based health care professionals to take a breath and enjoy their free time. Until of course, Fourth of July hits and it has you thinking “Hm, I should probably figure out what I’m doing for the upcoming school year.” 

 

Rest assured, you are on the same boat as many other therapists, audiologists, and nurses. The good news? We have you covered. With so many contract positions located all around the nation that are starting soon, there’s no reason to sweat (unless you’re currently located in the South, that’s unavoidable).  

 

Most school-based contracts begin in late August or early September, which gives you more than enough time to prepare for your next opportunity, whether it be local or in a new city that you have always wanted to travel to. Before committing to your next assignment, it is imperative that you ask yourself these three questions to make sure you are feeling confident in your decision. 


Is This How Much I Want to Work? 

With most full-time healthcare professions running between 30 – 40 hours weekly, make sure that you are staying true to the work-life balance that makes the most amount of sense for you. Are you looking to maximize your professional growth, or do you need more time for family, hobbies, or self-care? Balancing these aspects in your life is important to prevent burnout and give you long-term satisfaction in your career. 

 

Is This Where I Want to be Right Now? 

We are living in a time where you can construct your life the exact way you want it. Feeling happy at home? Stay there. Ready for a drastic change to spice up your life? Very doable. Whether you want to settle in a cozy small town or thrive in a bustling city, the choice is yours. With a network across the United States, Pioneer offers you the flexibility to choose your most desired location with your next assignment.
