As an international travel RN, your job is to travel abroad and provide any nursing service an assignment might need. In this global role, you travel to different countries, teach nursing skills to local students, or help set up new policies and procedures in areas currently underserved by nursing staff. Some international travel nurses work in dangerous areas like war zones or places infected with contagious diseases, and you often have to work through linguistic challenges. Many international travel nurses use creativity to solve logistical challenges and help provide treatment to patients in facilities that don't have all of the necessary equipment or pharmaceuticals.
