Spring training is right around the corner, which may have more than a few traveling medical professionals scrambling to find the best way to follow their favorite team. Whether she is a die-hard Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees or Los Angeles Dodgers fan, a travel nurse or travel therapist is sure to need a quality connection to her team.
Due to the variety of locations her contract may take her, it is not farfetched to figure a travel RN or occupational therapist may find herself outside of regular cable access to all the games. Always the dedicated fan, that won’t stop her from gaining more than a precursory foothold on the latest news, plays and statistics.
Therefore, she may need to cultivate a variety of new ways to track the games and surrounding news.
Here are three ways a travel nurse or travel therapist may use to follow her team in time for Spring Training:
1. Social media. The Major Baseball League has developed an intricate social media fan base across most social network platforms currently available and this holds true for the individual teams as well. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others all provide ample access to players, statistics, videos and features. While a travel nurse or travel therapist may be unable to watch a game in real time, she could follow fan and team Twitter accounts and get constant posting updates on scores and the state of play.
2. Online subscription. A few different cable and network providers offer fans the option of subscribing to the games so they may watch them via an online connection. The prices and coverage varies, however, these services often contain the most inclusive service.
3. Mobile applications. The increasing needs of a modern mobile world have enabled technology professionals to develop mobile applications that incorporate the best of the social media and real time video coverage world. Get constant updates, video clips and live watching specials to view the game along with corresponding information.
As technology improves to meet the needs of baseball fans everywhere, a travel RN or travel therapist may find herself watching the games in new and fascinating ways that meet her mobile lifestyle.
