Sometimes the path to becoming a travel nurse can start from time spent in school where you just happen to be a former student for your future recruiter.

This is the path that happened between Travel Nurse Cassandra and her Atlas MedStaff recruiter Allison Andrews. Cassandra was a strong student while Allison was teaching and she remembered that. So when the time came for placing someone in some really good locations, this former traveler couldn't help but think of her former student.

Meet one of Nick Plansinis's, an Atlas MedStaff Travel nurse turned recruiter, duos, Katie and Cameron Kowalski. You'd think that with Nick being a former travel nurse, maybe Katie and Cameron would have met Nick at a past assignment. In this case, that isn't the case. So how did they meet? What set Katie and Cameron on their travel adventure?

Answer: A Cold Call.
