About Mynoucka | mynoucka@vintagetravelingnurse.com

Ever been in a space where you felt stuck in your career? That was me in 2018. I was in my third year as a registered nurse and felt stagnant. While I loved my career, the monotony of working long hours in a hospital every day made me feel some type of way. I wanted the flexibility of traveling and making my schedule while doing what I loved. So, I decided to give travel nursing a shot.

Long story short, I loved it, lol.

I worked in two hospitals in Southern California for nine months before transferring to a hospital in the Bay Area for eight months. My time in Cali gave me the autonomy and flexibility to lean more into my nursing career. Since I wore skirts to work every day, my colleagues would always refer to me as the “classy” or “classic” nurse. This inspired the name for my blog, Vintage Traveling Nurse, which I launched in 2019 to start documenting my travel nursing journey. Being in this field has helped me gain fulfillment in my career and other areas of my life like fitness, finance, and, most importantly, self-care. While I am now in my hometown continuing my work as a bedside nurse, my time as a travel nurse has changed my life FOREVER!
