One of the biggest benefits of working with a travel nurse staffing agency is the credentialing, licensing and compliance support they provide. As a travel nurse, you will need to obtain licenses and comply with regulations in every new state you work in. This can be an overwhelming process to manage on your own.
Travel nursing agencies have specialized staff to help you obtain the proper licenses and comply with each state’s requirements. They can submit license applications on your behalf and follow up to ensure they are approved in time for your next assignment. The agencies keep up to date on the licensing requirements for each state so you don’t have to.
In addition to licensing, travel nurse agencies assist with maintaining certifications and mandatory training. They will remind you when your BLS, ACLS, PALS and other certifications need to be renewed. Many agencies provide access to online training courses as well. Keeping on top of all the compliance requirements across multiple states is virtually impossible without help from a knowledgeable agency.
