What is travel nursing?
Travel nursing is an attractive option for experienced nurses looking to explore new places and gain professional experience. With travel nursing, advanced practice nurses (APRN), registered nurses (RN), and licensed practical nurses (LPN) have the opportunity to work in different healthcare facilities across the United States on assignments that last anywhere from 4-13 weeks. This shorter time frame often translates into generous pay, as travel RNs and LPNs are in high demand, providing added financial benefits and flexibility for those looking to travel.
Favorite Healthcare Staffing offers an abundance of travel nursing opportunities that are ideal for nurses who want to enjoy the flexibility of a short-term assignment. Whether traveling for pleasure, a change in scenery, or career advancement, discover your dream job with Favorite Healthcare Staffing today!
How to become a travel nurse
Becoming a travel nurse first starts with becoming a licensed nurse. Education requirements depend on the specialty and the employer but usually include having an Associate degree in Nursing (ADN) and successfully passing the NCLEX-RN exam administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing to receive your nursing license. Having a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) could potentially open up more job opportunities. If travel nursing is something you're interested in, make sure you have the required education, and an active nursing license to ensure success in this profession.
After you have received your nursing license, travel nursing jobs are a great way to take advantage of exciting job opportunities in various parts of the country. To begin working as a travel nurse with Favorite Healthcare Staffing, you need at least one year of recent work experience as an APRN, RN, or LPN or LVN.
Depending on the assignment and position, travel nurses may also need specialty certifications, including an active Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. Prior experience as a travel nurse is not necessary in order to work with Favorite, making travel nursing an ideal option for those looking to branch out in their career.
