A newsletter for travel nurses who hold it all together (and still manage to laugh about it).
5 For The Road is your quick-hit dose of real talk, resources, and “wait, what?!” moments — made for travel nurses who want to stay in the loop without getting buried in job spam.
WHAT IT IS:
Most weeks (usually Tuesdays-ish), you'll get 5 quick gems in your inbox:
- A meme that’s circulating the nurse’s station
- A real job post that makes you do a double take
- A tip, resource, or mindset shift that actually helps
- A scroll-worthy link worth saving
- Something that reminds you you’re not doing this alone
No fluff. No guilt. No “Urgent need in Ohio” energy.
WHY IT EXISTS:
Because most agency emails feel like they were written by a recruiter with a quota — not a real human.
This is Wayward’s way of staying in touch — minus the pressure, plus the personality.
No spam. No BS. Just value, good timing, and the occasional “I cannot believe this is real” moment.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Usually on Tuesdays, always when it’s worth reading
- Written by real people who work in travel staffing and actually give a damn
- A 2-minute scroll you’ll actually look forward to
- Built for RN's who balance 12s, burnout, ambition, and the occasional existential “WTF?”
