With more than 500 million users worldwide, TikTok is one of the hottest new social media platforms. It’s a forum where users can share 15- to 60-second videos of just about anything — from lip synching to dancing to question-and-answer videos. So it’s no surprise that travel nurses have embraced this platform as another way to share the travel nursing lifestyle. Here are a few TikToks made by travel nurses answering common questions about #travelnursing.
What is travel nursing?
For those wondering about how travel nursing works, @laughingbabe gives us a tour of what her house looks like while packing for a 13-week assignment. Then we get to see a few of the amazing places she’s traveled to — from island-hopping in Asia to motorcycle-riding in Nepal. She also shares another reason she loves travel nursing: she gets to meet the coolest people.

How do I get a travel contract?
@laughingbabe also shares how she finds jobs, housing, and a network of nurses. She says Facebook is where many recruiters post travel nurse jobs, and once she secures an assignment she uses Airbnb or Furnished Finder to find housing nearby. The Gypsy Nurse is her go-to travel nurse community, and she says the best place to find new travel nurse friends to follow is #travelnurse.
