Lindsey had the opportunity to study abroad when she was in college, which sparked her love for traveling early on. After graduating college, she decided that becoming a traveling nurse would give her the opportunity to have the career she was passionate about, while still having the flexibility to travel wherever she wants. She now hops around the country to her different nurse assignments, full time, and absolutely loves it. Her van features a kitchen with a removable two burner stove, a bench seat, & a fixed bed, with a hidden space for hanging clothes underneath.

    If you have a big bed and sleep alone, consider placing a small basket on the bed for your nighttime essentials. Mine is 8x12 and holds everything I need, including my book. It fits in the corner when I'm sleeping and is so easy to move when l make the bed. 💖🌞🌵😷

    This build looks so adorable and cozy, i love it. If she wasn't a nurse, I'd be wondering about some type of bathroom but hospitals have facilities for their employees so thos was a very smart build. God bless you and I pray you continue to enjoy your adorable home and the safety that you've had. Great job!!!

    Even when sleeping, I wake up to use the bathroom a couple of times a night, and I think it would be inconvenient to have to walk across the parking lot to use the hospital’s restroom. And a bucket in the van is kinda gross. I’d prefer a cassette toilet or compost toilet in the van.

    Thank you! Luckily I'm blessed with a nurse bladder and I'm used to holding it for 12 hours! 😅 This set up works for me but having a toilet would be convenient for most people! It just came down to the fact that I didn't want to clean it! I do have something in case of emergencies but thankfully have never needed it!

    It's funny, for probably about a decade, when I heard of Visiting Nurses, I thought they did what you did. Just thought that was a cool way to live. Then learned what a real visiting nurse does. Essential, but where's the vacation lifestyle in that? Now you visit and nurse. A lot cooler. Enjoy the freedom. Just got a 26 foot X-haul that'll be something between a Florida hurricane escape vehicle and a football tail gate/excursion conversion pad (like my vehicle, retired).

    My mother in law is a nurse and she said she got her license to be a National one so she didn’t have to get a license for each state that way it covers all places because her husband was in the military as well. I seen a small box/basket from hobby lobby that is a light wood not to heavy and you can use command hooks to hang it on the back doors to keep your phone and water bottle and it was grey in color so it would look cute with current decorations wished I could send you a picture

    That's right, hospitals have locker rooms for their staff which mostly include showers and toilets. I bet she has a pee funnel for women if not you know she's got a regular pee funnel, she works at hospitals and they have the disposable ones for sure. Such a great build and it seems so peaceful, good for her!!!

    People gotta stop thinking she enjoys and/or wants to live like this, no.. she does not. As she said, she's a travelling nurse and so, this is a compromise, not a first option, neither is it the best option. Edit: I don't care about you people... notifications off. I'm right and that's just how it is. Stop trying to excuse things and be delusional. Good luck.
