❓Who is The Shift for?
The Shift is designed for healthcare travelers—nurses, techs, therapists, and others—who are either just getting started or looking to level up in their careers. Whether you're on contract #1 or #15, if you're serious about growth, this is for you.
📍 Logistics & Travel
❓Where is The Shift happening?
Each Shift retreat takes place in a carefully selected, culturally rich international location. Our inaugural Shift is in Hoi An, Vietnam.
❓Do I need a passport or visa?
Yes, you’ll need a valid passport and a tourist visa. We can connect you with trusted local experts to make the process simple and stress-free.
❓Are flights included?
Flights are not included in your registration. This gives you the flexibility to book the best route and timing for your schedule. If you’d like, we can recommend a local travel expert to help you find great options.
❓What airport should I fly into?
The nearest major airport is Da Nang International (DAD), about 45 minutes from Hoi An.
❓How do I get from the airport to the venue?
Airport transfers are not included, but we’ll share the best options for getting here. We can also refer you to reliable local drivers and services we trust.
❓Will someone pick me up from the airport?
No official pick-up, but we’ll connect you with trusted drivers so your arrival is smooth and stress-free.
❓Can I extend my stay before or after The Shift?
Absolutely! Many participants choose to come early or stay longer. We can connect you with local experts who can help you plan activities, accommodations, and cultural experiences to make the most of your time.
❓Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance isn’t required, but we highly recommend it. It can cover things like flight delays, lost luggage, or unexpected medical needs—so you can focus on enjoying the experience without added stress. If you’d like, we can refer you to trusted providers who offer plans tailored for international travelers.

❓Is this a CEU course?
Nope — it’s better. While we don’t offer CEUs (yet), this isn’t a boring classroom. This is industry-backed education built by and for travelers. It’s real-world training you can actually use.
❓Will I get a certificate I can use on my resume or LinkedIn?
Yes! You’ll get a digital and printable certificate you can share with recruiters, agencies, and hiring managers.

❓Will I have free time to explore?
Yes! We’ve built in downtime so you can enjoy the destination at your own pace. Our team can recommend activities, excursions, or the best spots for a quiet coffee if that’s more your vibe.
💳 Registration & Payment
❓Are there payment plans?
We don’t offer a formal payment plan, but if you need some flexibility, reach out! We’re happy to work with you on a solution that makes it doable.
❓What’s your cancellation policy?
We know plans can change, so here’s the quick version:
- Cancel by Nov 1, 2025 → Full refund (minus small admin + processing fees).
- After Nov 1, 2025 → Tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer your spot to another traveler for free.
- If The Shift doesn’t meet the minimum number of travelers by Dec 1, 2025 → Event may be canceled, and participants refunded in full (minus payment processing fees).
- If something out of our control happens (like a natural disaster), we’ll refund your registration but can’t cover extra travel costs—so we highly recommend travel insurance.

🤝 Community & Connections
❓What if I’m coming alone?
Perfect! Most people come solo and leave with a dozen new travel besties. We keep groups small (under 20 people) to foster real connection. Plus, we’ll set up a group chat so you can coordinate with other attendees before you even arrive.
❓Can I bring my spouse or a friend?
Yes! You’ve got two options if you’d like your spouse or a friend to come along:
- As a guest: All of our rooms are single occupancy, but your spouse or friend can join you in your room for $400. They won’t attend the training or included activities, but they’ll enjoy the destination right alongside you.
- As a participant: If they’d like to join the full Shift experience, you can share a room and you’ll both save $400 on your registrations.
❓Can I bring my children?
The Shift is an adults-only experience designed for professional growth, community, and travel. While we love families, this program is focused on creating a peer community of healthcare travelers.
That said, we highly recommend extending your stay and having your whole family join you afterward! We’re happy to connect you with a local expert who can help plan activities, cultural experiences, and adventures so you can make the most of your extended time here.
❓What kind of people will be there?
Fellow healthcare travelers — with all levels of experience and the same “something’s missing” feeling you’ve got. If you’re craving depth, growth, and real conversation, these are your people.
❓What if I don’t know what to do during free time?
No worries! Our on-site team is here to help you make the most of your experience. We can arrange transportation, recommend activities, or point you toward local restaurants worth trying. All you have to do is ask.
❓Do I get access to support after the retreat?
Absolutely. You’ll get lifetime access to our private alumni community, plus optional coaching and support as you grow in your career.
🚫 Objections & Reassurances
❓I’m nervous about taking time off work — what if I miss out on income?
Totally valid — but think about this: How much are you really earning if you’re exhausted, confused about your contracts, or stuck in low-paying assignments? The Shift sets you up to make smarter decisions, negotiate better, and find aligned jobs going forward.
❓I’ve already been traveling for a while. Will this still be valuable for me?
Totally fair question. If you’re already on contract, that’s awesome—but The Shift isn’t just for beginners. It’s for travelers who want to optimize their lifestyle, avoid burnout, and stop leaving money (or time, or sanity) on the table. Even seasoned pros walk away with new strategies, deeper clarity, and connections they didn’t know they needed. Plus, it shows recruiters you’ve got the knowledge and skills to succeed long-term.
❓What if I’m not experienced enough?
If you’re new to travel healthcare, you’re in the right place. The Shift was built with you in mind—so you can start strong, skip the guesswork, and avoid the expensive (and exhausting) mistakes most travelers make early on. You’ll leave with a strategy, a roadmap, and a supportive crew to keep you moving forward. And honestly? Even seasoned travelers say, “Wow, I wish I had this when I started.”
🎤 The Shift vs. Standard Conferences
❓What makes The Shift different from standard conferences?
The Shift gives you a standardized Healthcare Traveler Training—something you can add to your resume right away. Most conferences offer educational sessions, but not a full program. The Shift is different: it’s a certificate program backed by industry experts.
❓Why should I choose The Shift over a 3-day conference?
Because deep learning, career clarity, and long-term support don’t happen in just a few sessions. The Shift’s small-group experience helps you build both skills and community that last a lifetime. It’s more than just a big party — it’s focused learning and connections.
❓Are meals, accommodations, or travel included in your pricing?
Yes. The Shift includes hotel, breakfast daily, select lunches and dinners — so you can focus fully on growth and adventure, without hidden costs. Many conferences require separate booking and only cover conference-day food.
❓Can’t I just attend other conferences and call it a wrap?
Sure — if you’re into conferences. But if you want more than tips—if you want genuine career transformation and real connection with peers—The Shift is made for you.
