  Have you just signed on for a new travel nursing experience? You probably
  can&rsquo;t wait to pack your bags and embark on your new journey! But, before
  you rush to leave, there are some important things you should take care of
  around your house in preparation of your next assignment.

<h2>Make Sure Your Home is Secure</h2>

<div>
  If you live alone, you&rsquo;ll want to make arrangements to ensure your home
  is secure when you&rsquo;re away. Whether it&rsquo;s investing in a reliable
  alarm system or enlisting a relative or neighbor to check up on your home when
  you&rsquo;re gone, you&rsquo;ll want to have peace of mind that your home is
  secure when you&rsquo;re out of town.
</div>

<h2>Pay Attention to Home Appliances</h2>

<div>
  As you get ready to depart, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to have your major
  home appliances checked by a professional to ensure they&rsquo;re in good
  working condition. Types of appliances you should have checked include your
  sump pump and furnace. The last thing you&rsquo;ll want to worry about when
  you&rsquo;re gone is your basement flooding or your pipes freezing! Along
  these lines, you&rsquo;ll also want to save on energy by unplugging items such
  as lamps, kitchen appliances, and any other things that don&rsquo;t need to be
  plugged in.
</div>

<h2>Put Your Regular Delivery Services on Hold</h2>

<div>
  If you forget to stop your mail and newspaper delivery service, you&rsquo;ll
  end up inviting burglars as it will appear that you aren&rsquo;t home for an
  extended time. Don&rsquo;t forget to stop your delivery services for the
  period of time you are gone. Doing this well also help you avoid coming home
  to piles of newspapers on your front doorstep!

<h2>Pets Can Come with You</h2>

<div>
  There are many great

  by your side can eliminate loneliness and help you adjust better to life away
  from family and friends. And, fortunately, most properties that work with
  leading staffing agencies offer pet-friendly accommodations for travel
  nurses.&nbsp;

  upcoming adventure, you&rsquo;ll want to take care of these housekeeping items
  before leaving. Being proactive about taking care of your home will not only
  give you peace of mind, but help to ensure that no crises take place when
  you&rsquo;re away!
