Participants can take the quizzes — “Where Should I Travel Next?” and “What’s Your Adventure Style?” — to potentially win one of 10 $50 Amazon gift cards. On Instagram, we ask Travel Nurses to submit their best photos from their adventures with the #PostcardsFromTheRoad Instagram Contest for the chance to win one of five $300 Amazon gift cards. Travel Nurses can participate now through Sunday, October 14, 2017. Medical Solutions will announce the winners the week of October 15.

Q: How has Travel Nurses Day evolved over the past five years?

A: Over the years, more people have become aware of and celebrate this wonderful holiday. In fact, other healthcare staffing companies have joined in the festivities too. We’ve also taken feedback in years past so that Travel Nurses can celebrate how they want to celebrate.

Q: How many people typically participate in Travel Nurses Day?

A: We encourage Travel Nurses everywhere to celebrate their special day! That being said, we’ve seen participation on the TravelNursesDay.com website grow each year, with roughly 7,553 visits during last year’s celebration.

Q: I saw you have a playlist, which I think is awesome! Does it change every year?

A: Yes, we change the playlist to reflect each year’s theme.

Q: How do you pick which songs are worthy of your playlist?

A: We ask the internal staff at Medical Solutions to submit their favorite songs with the year’s theme in mind. That way, we always receive a wide selection of tunes.

Q: Is there anything else about Travel Nurses Day you’d like to mention?

A: I’d like to take this moment to thank all the Travel Nurses out there. Thank you for all that you do!
