If you are a nurse looking for a flexible schedule, great pay and benefits, and the opportunity to explore the country, travel nursing could be the perfect opportunity for you. To commence a travel nurse career, follow these steps:

Get Prepared For The Steps In The Process

Before starting your first travel assignment, ensure your RN license is up to date, if needed, and have complete immunization and physical examination records. Your CV should highlight your nursing skills and experience, and you should have several references who can vouch for you.

When you identify assignments you are interested in, your recruiter will submit you for them and prepare you for the interview process. 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 are considering working. Some states, like California, New Jersey, and New York, may take over a month to process, while others process quickly. Some states allow you to obtain an RN license in one day by visiting the state nursing board directly. If you have a license in a state part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, you can practice in any of the 25 compact states.

Your Area Of Expertise

Each facility has its own policy, but typically you need a year or more of experience in your area of specialization. You can start applying for travel positions after a year of continuous experience. Some specialties, like psychiatric Registered Nurse and cardiac ICU, require over two years of experience.

Versatility

Along with skills and experience, flexibility is crucial for a successful travel nurse. Be open to various hospital policies, procedures, and locations to gain additional skills during your travel experience.

Job References and Skills Checklist

A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references, and they should be readily available. 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 any additional details such as immunizations and drug testing.
