Travel nursing offers adventure, freedom of choice, and flexibility. Nurses can select preferred facilities and locations, working in prestigious institutions. Many nurses seek a quality lifestyle, valuing the ability to choose. To a great extent, travel nurses control their schedules. Many have been in travel nursing for over ten years and plan to continue.

If you seek a great salary, schedule choices, and exciting locations, a travel career may be suitable. To get started:

Get Prepared For The Steps In The Process

Before starting your first travel assignment, update your RN license, immunizations, and physical records. Your CV should highlight nursing skills and experience, and you should have references who can vouch for you.

When you identify assignments of interest, your recruiter will submit you for interviews. During the interview, inquire about scheduling, patient to nurse ratios, required skills, etc.

State Licensing Requirements

You can start the RN license process in states where you plan to work. Some states take over a month, like California, New Jersey, and New York. Many others process licenses quickly, often in a few days. Some states issue licenses in one day. If you have a license in a Nurse Licensure Compact state, the process is easier. Your recruiter will assist with obtaining a license in your chosen state.

Your Area Of Expertise

Facilities have their own policies, but typically require a year or more of experience in your specialization. Some specialties, like psychiatric Registered Nurse and cardiac ICU, require over two years of experience.

Versatility

Flexibility is crucial for a successful travel nurse. Be open to various hospital policies, procedures, and locations to gain additional skills. Even if your first choice is an assignment in Hawaii, don’t let a great opportunity in another location pass you by. Contracts are usually for 13 weeks, making it easy to try several cities within a year.

Job References and Skills Checklist

A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references. Three references are usually sufficient to confirm your clinical skills. A travel nurse will also fill out a skills checklist with their references.

After addressing references and skills, we can start seeking contracts that match your requirements. When you accept a job, we will help with additional details such as immunizations and drug testing.
