For travel nurses, how do you handle loneliness from being apart from your loved ones?

I call them a lot, during lunch breaks and visit on my off days, doing everything I can to be totally present and fully attentive when I’m there. I call after work to decompress my day and hear all about the things I missed. It’s so tough but also do things to fill up your cup when you’re not visiting. Force yourself out of your comfort zone and stay active, see and try new things.
