\"history<\/p>\n

Typically, hospitals don\u2019t send out reporting instructions to travel nursing agencies until after receiving a fully compliant file of documents for each nurse. In their eyes, a nurse won\u2019t start working until these documents are reviewed and cleared so there\u2019s no need to send out reporting instructions. While this isn\u2019t exactly faulty logic, it\u2019s usually a thorn in the side of travelers who relocate frequently. In many cases, these instructions don\u2019t arrive until as little as 3 to 4 days before your assignment starts! For those trying to plan commuting routes and living situations, this is not ideal…<\/p>\n
