WILTON, CT — 04/14/09 — Onward Healthcare, the nation’s fastest growing provider of travel nurse jobs, has released a list of the 101 Best Travel Nursing Websites. The list was developed by Onward Healthcare’s marketing and recruitment staff with the help of the travel nursing community.The Top 101 Travel Nursing Websites list is an essential resource for the estimated 25,000 plus travel nurses working in U.S. hospitals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting that the decade long shortage of registered nurses will culminate in upwards of 500,000 new registered nurse jobs by 2016. As such, the demand for travel nurses will continue to grow to help fill these vacancies. Onward Healthcare is committed to providing these professionals with as many tools as possible to help them succeed.

“I was excited to see Onward put together such an all encompassing, easy to follow resource,” stated Rita Callaghan, Registered Nurse with Onward Healthcare. “As a travel nurse you may move up to four times a year, and this list points out some great websites on topics such as getting adjusted to a new city, finding deals on cable and internet providers and locating social clubs and organizations in your new city.”

The 101 Best Travel Nursing Websites is broken down into twenty categories — ten are specific to registered nurses and members of the nursing community, while the other ten are relative to any professional relocating to a new city. When judging each website, members of the Onward team, along with their travel nursing liaisons, focused on content, design, innovation, usefulness and update frequency.

“Our goal was to offer an all encompassing list of nursing websites that would be useful to our RNs in the field.” stated Steven Dobrowski, Director of Corporate Marketing for Onward Healthcare. “However, we also wanted to present our travel nurses with a broad range of practical sites and social networks that would appeal to their life on the road.”
