FAQ

You generally need at least one year of experience to be a travel nurse.

If you are a travel RN then you need 1 year of current experience in the specialty you are looking in. For example:Looking for a Med Surg RN job then you need 1 year of Med Surg experience. Ema-TravelMed USA 386-264-6866

I have always found the more experience the better if you want to be in a popular spot. 2 years exp. is the best in a given speciality. One may have to take the first assignment in a location thats not one's first choice but can be a resume builder!

I have been an RN for approx 14 years but the general qualifications have been from 1-3 years of experience in any particular specialty and obviously more is better but not necessary but some assignment areas prefer previous travel experience as well

You need at least 1 year experience on the hospital unit that you want to be assigned on.
