Renting a room - travel nurses

[ILoveMyDVC]

Hi,
My life has turned upside down again haha this time because my fiance walked away the day of the walkthrough for our house that was being built. I woke up early in the morning and he was sneaking things into a suitcase. Rather than doing the smart prudent financial route I chose to buy the house by myself. Now I have this beautiful lifelong dream of having a house big enough to entertain and have overnight guests But it's in a state I wouldn't even drive through let alone move to. Although the people are lovely.

One of the things I insisted on having in the house was a full ensuite. Because I'm on my own now, the mortgage is quite high compared to my income.

Does anyone have experience renting out of room in particularly with travel nurses? The answers from Google are all over the place so I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience and what they think about it.

Thank you in advance.

no personal experience but I know that the need exceeded availability around us so much that one of the hospitals just purchased a big chunk of land to build dedicated housing for travel nurses so I'm assuming they must have some division in their h/r that helps facilitate things in the meantime. if there's a hospital near your house you might contact their h/r to get a feel for how these things are set up (I believe some travel nurses have the agencies they contract through handle all of this so you might be able to find out which agencies the local hospitals work with).

There are three hospitals including two major ones for the entire state located within 25 minutes of my home. There is no public transportation that I'm aware of. Of course we can still get Uber and Lyft here but I don't think the buses run this far. One of the hospitals is only 11 minutes away.
