Travel nursing offers adventure, numerous choices, and flexibility. Nurses can select facilities and locations of their preference and work in prestigious medical centers. Many RNs seek a quality lifestyle, and the ability to choose is crucial. To a large extent, travel nurses control their own schedules. Interviews with long-time travel nurses reveal that a significant proportion have been traveling for over ten years and intend to continue.

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. To commence a travel nurse career, preparation is needed. Ensure your RN license is up to date, have complete immunization and physical examination records, and update your CV to display your nursing skills and experience. Have several references who can be easily contacted.

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.

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.

The process of getting an RN license is easier if you have a license in a state that is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which has 25 states as members. This compact permits nurses to practice in any of the 25 compact states. Your recruiter will assist you in obtaining a license in your chosen state.

Each facility has its own policy, but normally you need a year or more of solid 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 is vital for a successful travel nurse. You should be amenable to several kinds of hospital policies, procedures, and locations to gain additional skills as part of your travel experience. Most contracts are for 13 weeks, making it easy to try several cities within a one-year time frame.

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 also be required to fill out a skills checklist coupled with their references.

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