I did a little travel nursing in CA 2005 - 2006. My most recent job was with assisted living residents and memory impaired. I worked for VNA some time ago, when they just started to use computer to document visit. Would I need to obtain a local position in VNA/Hospice to refresh my skills before being considered for a travel position?

I have been an RN for about a year and a half. My experience is 6 months worth of ICU/Med Surge/Tele and about 8 months Hospice/Home Health. Prior to that I worked as an LPN working geriatrics, peds and corrections. I am really interested in travel nursing. Based on my experience can I realistically pursue travel nursing at this time?
