Travel nursing offers adventure, numerous choices, and flexibility. Nurses can select facilities and locations that suit them and work in prestigious medical centers. Many nurses seek a quality lifestyle, and the ability to choose is crucial. To a great extent, travel nurses control their own schedules. Many have been traveling for over ten years and intend to continue.

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

Before starting your first travel assignment, some preparation is needed. Be sure to update your RN license, if needed, 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.

When you have identified assignments you are interested in, your recruiter will submit you for them and you can prepare for the interview process. During the interview, inquire about things important to you 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. If you are considering working in certain states, you can begin the licensure process beforehand. Some states take over a month to process, like California, New Jersey, and New York. Many other states will quickly process RN license applications, 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 nurses can practice in any of the 25 compact states.

Each facility maintains 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.

Along with your skills and experience, flexibility is vital. 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.

A crucial part of your application is your set of clinical references. Make sure they are readily available before you apply for a job. 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 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.
