Travel Nurse Opportunity In Jacksonville, FL

We desire a Registered Nurse with MedSurg skills for a travel assignment in Jacksonville, FL.

Our client seeks experienced nurses to start quickly, so we need qualified nurses to begin our electronic on-boarding process.

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

If you are a medical professional seeking a good salary, schedule choices, and exciting locations, a travel career may be suitable. Before starting your first travel assignment, some preparation is needed. Ensure your RN license is up to date, if necessary, and have complete immunization and physical examination records. Your CV should display your nursing skills and experience, and you should have several references who can vouch for you.

During the interview, inquire about important things such as scheduling, patient to nurse ratios, required skills, etc.

Getting an RN license in a particular state can start before having an assignment lined up. Many other states will process RN license applications quickly, often in a few days. Some states allow you to obtain your RN license in one day by going to the state nursing board directly. If you have a license in a state that is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which has 25 states as members, the process will be easier as this compact permits nurses to practice in any of the 25 compact states. 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. Be aware that some specialties, such as psychiatric Registered Nurse and cardiac ICU, require over two years of experience.

Along with your skills and experience, it is vital that you have the ability to be flexible. This trait is crucial for being 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. A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references, and you should make sure they are readily available before you apply for a job. A travel nurse will usually be required to fill out a skills checklist coupled with their references.

When you have decided to accept a job, we will help you take care of any additional details such as immunizations and drug testing.
