Travel nursing offers adventure, numerous choices, and flexibility. Nurses can select facilities and locations that suit them and work in prestigious medical centers.

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

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

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 you have complete immunization and physical examination records, and have a CV showcasing your nursing skills and experience. You should also have several references who can vouch for you.

State Licensing Requirements

Getting an RN license in a particular state can start before having an assignment lined up. Some states take over a month to process, like California, New Jersey, and New York. 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 going to the state nursing board directly. If you have a license in a state part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, the process will be easier as it permits nurses to practice in any of the 25 compact states.

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 your skills and experience, flexibility is vital. You should be amenable to several kinds of 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 one-year timeframe.

Job References and Skills Checklist

A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references. References are needed to confirm your clinical skills, and in most cases, three references will be sufficient. A travel nurse will usually be required to fill out a skills checklist along with their references.

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