The four things worth buying first
Hard-shell carry-on
Four wheels, fits the overhead, survives baggage handlers.
Twelve-hour shoes
Wipeable, supportive, still comfortable at hour eleven.
Badge & pocket kit
Reel, shears, penlight, pens that don't leak in the wash.
Night-shift sleep kit
Blackout curtains, white noise, a mask that stays put.
Book the assignment
Flights, beds, wheels, and something fun
Search the big three before the recruiter's housing offer — it's usually cheaper to book it yourself.
Hotels & extended stay
Weekly rates, kitchenettes, and cancellation you can live with.
Flights
Airlines & award seats
Bag policies, status runs, and the flexible-fare math.
Wheels
Rental cars, monthly
Long-term rates beat daily. Where to find them.
Days off
Tours & tickets
Skip-the-line and half-day trips that fit between shifts.
What this is
Same passion.
New horizons.
Suitcases & Scrubs is a resource desk for travel healthcare — nurses, techs, therapists, anyone who works thirteen weeks at a time and lives out of a bag.
No sponsored hype and no recruiter script. Just the gear, the booking tools, and the paperwork explained in plain language, kept current as things change.
