Texas travel nursing FAQs

What license do I need to work as a travel nurse in Texas?

Texas is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), so if you hold a multistate license, you're already eligible. If not, we’ll guide you through the Texas licensing process to keep things moving smoothly.

Timekeeping methods and pay periods can vary by facility. Most commonly, you will either clock in using the facility’s timekeeping system or log shifts in the mobile app. Pay is most commonly conducted weekly, though some facilities operate on a bi-weekly pay period. You can discuss your options with your Favorite recruiter, who can find the best arrangement for you and ensure you have all the information you need to be successful.
