What a travel nurse company seeks in you. If you re not sure and you re thinking about contacting a travel company, you should first find out if you fill the bill.
Many travel companies prefer hiring nurses who are certified.
If you don t have certification, consider obtaining it. This will give you an edge over other candidates. The ideal candidate has a strong clinical background, with at least one full year of recent experience. Some recruiters recommend that you get experience in as many specialty areas as possible before applying to travel. An excellent way to get experience like this is to float to different units within your current facility.
