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. 💖🌞🌵😷

Thank you for the suggestion!
Nice build and decorated so nicely. Thanks for being a nurse they are in demand. Stay safe in your travels.
I really enjoy seeing how nice these tiny homes on the inside and I'm really impressed by all of them especially this one here Thank You.😎👌
As a nurse I always dreamed of doing this but now I’m retired and I am going to just enjoy traveling
$26k is pretty awesome; looks great!!
I really liked the way she put things together
Love the design and colors
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!

@@lindseykieser2759 ha ha ha, I'm so glad. I love how free you are, nice build
Very cool… enjoy
Love the design
You can add a shelf under the cabinet at the foot of your bed to hold things. One that folds up/down.
I like the interior color scheme.
Great way to earn good money and save most of it. Good to do while still young.
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).

❤😊awesome
Thank you for showing us your pretty build! What a grand life you are iving ~ enjoy every moment! Where do you go to the bathroom and take a shower?? Rather important for a nurse? Have fun!
cute and reasonable XD
put a bicycle water bottle holder on the wall near the bed ...
Nice
For putting your phone etc when going to sleep, a pouch haning on the wall would work as well. Safe travels.
Nice bed
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

Thank you for the idea, that could definitely work! I would love a national license, but I'm not sure that extends to everyone! Maybe because her husband was in the military? I currently have to get a license in every state unfortunately!

I was wondering about the bathroom as well. I guess she can use the hospital facilities but what if you have to go in the middle of the night???

Where do you shower and use the bathroom?

Many nomads rely on gyms and other public facilities to meet their restroom and shower needs. :)

I have a gym membership and I can shower at the hospital! I use public restrooms and I do have a bucket for emergencies that thankfully I have never had to use 😅
Decent. If you don't have them or you're considering it, consider getting a composting toilet and a hidden shower.
Best thing about the this living setup is the lack of a cat or dog. Great mental health.
Where is your toilet and shower

Most hospitals have locker rooms for nurses and doctors that include showers and toilets

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!!!

I have a gym membership and I can use the showers at the hospital! I decided against a toilet because with every option I still had to clean it and that's not for me lol! I use lots of public restrooms and do have a backup in case of emergencies that thankfully I have not had to use! I'm blessed with a nurse bladder so this set up works for me! 😊
בית באמת יפה. הבחורה ממש חמודה ונחמדה ❤
YOU GOT HAT VAN FOR HOW MUCH??? Is it hard to drive? How do you deal with the lack of a rear view mirror?
Hello young lady....great idea traveling/RN setup. I've been thinking about this...with a base at or around SCarolina//Simpsonville, SC. Take jobs...travel...or not...get paid by contract gets one 30% more...then buy good self insurance. What's not to like? Send me a note....love to meet you.
What about showering?

Nomads without showers in their rigs typically rely on gyms and other public facilities to meet their needs. I bet as a travel nurse, Lindsey can rely on showers at the hospitals as well! :)

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.

But she said that she loves travelling? I'm sure there are many challenges, but she looks pretty happy to me. Why be so negative about this lovely video?

I do love it! I could easily rent an apartment or room in each location but I chose the van because it allows me to be flexible and travel on my off days! Definitely a choice! Lots of nurses choose the more traditional housing but it works for me!

So, you are telling me, that if you could and had, you wouldn't want a much bigger and better option? yeaahhh right. Lying to oneself is a basic human trait.@@lindseykieser2759
