Hallo…
I’m about to kick off my first travel nursing contract, focusing on med-surg/tele at UCSD. I’m feeling pretty anxious about being in the float pool because I’d much rather know which unit I’m going to each day and just stick with that.
But I keep hearing that float nurses end up getting sent to different units half the time anyway. I know med-surg can be a bit rough, but at least being in California means I probably won’t have to deal with awful ratios, right?So, here’s my question: Is being in the float pool a good fit for a first-time traveler? I’ve never floated before, and I’m worried it might be a lot to handle. Any thoughts?
In anticipation…
You seem to be thinking about using a float pool while you vacation! For first-time visitors, floating pools might be a terrific option, particularly if you’re searching for a distinctive and soothing experience.
Designed to provide a calm atmosphere, float pools frequently use Epsom salts to make floating easier. This may be a really helpful method to relax and relieve tension, particularly after a long trip.
Floating is a great way to ease tension in the muscles, lower stress levels, and enhance sleep. It’s a fantastic method to look after your body and thoughts when on the road.
Float pools are easily found in most large cities, as they are often found at spas or wellness facilities. If you want to try something new when visiting a new location, this might be a practical alternative.
It’s useful for first-time floaters to be prepared. As you become accustomed to the feeling of floating, you may go through a period of adjustment. To enhance relaxation, it’s also a good idea to abstain from coffee and large foods just before your session.
