Welcome to the Professional Association of Nurse Travelers!

We are open to all in the travel industry despite our name, and the vast majority of content is relevant to all healthcare travelers. We offer a Basic Membership (free registration required) and as we also offer a paid membership for additional content and services, navigating around can be a little confusing. Content is not currently listed by membership type (upgrade planned for later this year). An ever growing amount of content and resources is available to all registered members.

 

This is your page and lists everything currently available to Basic Members!

 

Front Page

Any articles excerpted on the Front Page, including restricted articles, are open to read by all. If a "Read more" link appears, clicking it will take you to the full text of the article. Some content will be closed when taken off the Front Page so check back often! We will rotate front page content from time to time.

Association Forum

This forum is open to all, but does require a second free sign up the first time you visit. Please note that due to a technical glitch, logging in is required see that any posts have been made. Once you sign up, all threads are available to read and post to - there really are threads there! The forum discusses content, issues, and services of the Association. There is a thread there for every article - and since the first post in a thread excerpts the article, it is a good way to get a taste for what that article offers in content for Full members.

 

Resources

Currently, everything in this category is available to Basic members. Future content may be restricted.  For example, some advanced features of the Calculator are now under development for Full members.  The basic Travelers Calculator will always be available for Basic members.
