  Have you considered travel nursing but are afraid you&rsquo;d miss your family
  and friends too much during assignments? Now with so much advanced technology,
  there are countless ways to stay in touch with loved ones and avoid feelings
  of homesickness. Here are some of the most popular ways travel nurses can
  communicate with family and friends while on the road.

<h2>Social Media</h2>

<div>
  Now one of the most widely used forms of communication, social media sites of
  all kinds offer instant access to others helping travel nurses connect and
  stay updated about the lives of friends and families through posts, photos and
  instant messaging.
  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CrossCountryNurses">Facebook</a> and
  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/CrossCountryNurses">Instagram</a> are great
  tools to share memories and capture experiences online, allowing you to feel
  more connected with loved ones even miles away from home.
</div>

<h2>Video Chat</h2>

<div>
  Video chat tools like Skype, FaceTime or Google Hangouts offer great outlets
  for talking with others directly on screen in real time. It&rsquo;s common for
  many nurses to schedule a daily or weekly video chat call with their parents
  or significant others as a way of staying in touch and interacting with them
  as if they&rsquo;re there with them. The best part about these video chat
  tools is they are free to use and accessible to anyone with an internet
  connection.

<h2>Mobile Apps</h2>

<div>
  It&rsquo;s easy for travel nurses to stay connected and entertained with so
  many mobile gaming and communication apps. &ldquo;<a
    href="https://www.zynga.com/games/words-friends"
    >Words with Friends</a
  >&rdquo; is one of the most popular apps available, a game similar to Scrabble
  which allows you to engage in live chat while playing against your friends.
  Gaming apps will allow you to always feel connected with others and are easy
  to use any time, such as during breaks at work or commutes on the bus.
