Visiting Hawks Nest State Park

May 25, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

Hawks Nest state park   A few days ago we took a little trip to Hawks Nest State Park.  It’s about an hour a way from us and the road we traveled along a scenic highway.  I enjoyed seeing the towns with homes nestled in the ‘hollers’ with the mountains in the background.  West Virginia … [Read more…]

Friends at Capital Market

May 19, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Yesterday I had the opportunity to connect with one of my friends from home- Brandy.   Brandy started working on my ‘home unit’ when I was out on maternity leave after I had my youngest daughter, Juliette.  Well, apparently while I was still out on leave someone saw Brandy at work and congratulated her.  She’s like, … [Read more…]

A Good Sense of Humor

May 18, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Thank God I have a good sense of humor.  I’m not quite sure how you would get through this life without one.  I think the ability to laugh at myself helps to keep me sane– especially when I do stupid stuff. So I work my first three shifts on the floor at my new job … [Read more…]

Why We Decided to Park the RV…… for now

May 16, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

So, one of the topics I planned on talking about for traveling nurses and people who travel full time or travel a lot are housing options.  Really I can only speak to two options- living in an RV and taking company housing.  Not all people who travel full time have the option to take company … [Read more…]

Pros and Cons of RV Living

May 15, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

  I’m no expert at living in an RV, but I did live in our RV for most of 2017 with a husband, two kids, a dog and a turtle, so I feel I am equipped to talk a bit on the subject. We own a 2012 32 foot bunkhouse Coachman Freelander.  It is a … [Read more…]

Mother’s Day at Kanawha State Forest

May 14, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

It’s been an ‘interesting’ few days here in West Virginia. I wrote about how we unpacked the U-Haul and started unpacking and settling in.  Well, sometime my husband’s back started really bothering him.  He has a few bulging discs that he had had injected a few times over the years.  So, I’m sure yard work … [Read more…]

How Do You Stay Married 16 Years?

May 12, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 4 Comments

How do you stay married sixteen years? Well, at first, I want to answer I don’t know!  When I actually think about it I think I would have to say by God’s Grace.  And by extending grace and by receiving grace.  Lots and lots and lots of grace.  What does that mean?  Well, God extends … [Read more…]

Happy Nurses Week

Well, I start work on the floor on Tuesday.  I’m getting myself mentally prepared.  I now have my 6th travel badge in hand.  On my way home (to our new apartment, not SC)  I was thinking of the places where I’ve worked, the people I’ve worked with and how my nursing career started. I’ve worked … [Read more…]

What the Travel Life Looks Like for Our Family

May 10, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

When I meet people and they find out that I’m a travel nurse, traveling with my family,  they have two main questions.  What does your husband do, is he a nurse, too? And,  what do you do about school for your kids.  I’d say those are two very natural questions and I never have any … [Read more…]
