To be considered a Travel Nurse, you are required to have an active RN license, holding either an Associates or Bachelors Degree. If you are working in the United States you may also need to get an additional licensure in the state that you will be working for as a travel nurse.

Your recruiter can help you evaluate the advantages of each assignment so you can decide which one is best for you.

Once you’ve decided on an assignment, the recruiter will arrange for you to speak with the hiring manager at that health facility. This will usually be a nurse manager. During the telephone interview, you’ll be asked questions about your skills and experience. Your recruiter can help you prepare for the interview, so you’ll have the best chance of getting the assignment of your choice.
