Travel CDS

Does anyone here have experience traveling as a CDS? I am looking into it but find the prospect a little scary. Is it just like traveling as a staff RN? Is there enough travel work out there to keep a traveler busy? I don't want to get stuck in East Podunk because it's the only assignment available, or worse, have no assignment at all when I finish.

Also, the recruiter is telling me I would not have to be licensed in the state where I would work. That bothers me as, to my knowledge, I could not represent myself as an RN when signing my queries or speaking with physicians.

Thanks.

    I hired a travel CDS this winter and she actually keeps very busy (went
    from this job to another).
