Professional Licensure
Among the many benefits to healthcare careers in travel nursing, travel therapy, and other areas of travel healthcare is the opportunity to work in a variety of great locations across the country.
Before you begin an assignment or full-time position, it’s important to be sure you’re licensed for the state in which you’re planning to work. You may need a new license, or you may already be covered if you hold a license in a compact state.
