Travel nursing offers adventure, numerous choices, and flexibility. Nurses can select a facility and geographic location that suits them and work in prestigious medical centers.

Many of our travelers have been employed in travel nursing for over ten 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, 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 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, you can 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 going to the state nursing board directly.

If you have a license in a state that is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which includes 25 states, it will be easier to practice in any of the 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. Be open to various 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 timeframe.

Job References and Skills Checklist

A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references. Make sure they are readily available before applying for a job. References are needed to 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 your references and skills set are addressed, 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.
