Many of our travelers have been employed in travel nursing for over 10 years and intend to continue.

If you are a medical professional looking for a good salary, schedule choices, and exciting locations, a travel career may be suitable. To commence:

Get Prepared For The Steps In The Process

Before starting your first travel assignment, some preparation is needed. Update your RN license if needed, ensure complete immunization and physical examination records, and have a CV showcasing your nursing skills and experience. Include several references who can vouch for you.

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

State Licensing Requirements

Getting an RN license in a particular state can start before having an assignment lined up. If you are considering working in certain states, begin the licensure process beforehand. Some states, like California, New Jersey, and New York, take over a month to process. Many other states process RN license applications quickly, often in a few days. Some states allow you to obtain an RN license in one day by visiting the state nursing board directly.

The process is easier if you have a license in a state part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which has 25 member states. This compact allows nurses to practice in any of the 25 compact states. Your recruiter will assist in obtaining a license in your chosen state. Experts knowledgeable in RN licensing procedures will help you.

Your Area Of Expertise

Each facility has its own policy, but normally you need a year or more of experience in your area of specialization to be considered. Even though requirements vary between facilities, you can start applying for travel positions once you have a year of continuous experience. Some specialties, such as psychiatric Registered Nurse and cardiac ICU, require over 2 years of experience.

Versatility

Along with skills and experience, flexibility is vital. This trait is crucial for a successful travel nurse. Be amenable to various hospital policies, procedures, and locations to gain additional skills as part of your travel experience. Even if your first choice was an assignment in Hawaii, don’t let a great opportunity in a different location slip away. Most contracts are 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, and they should be readily available before you apply for a job. References confirm your clinical skills, and three references are usually sufficient. A travel nurse will typically fill out a skills checklist along with their references.

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