How do I Become a Travel Nurse with CareerStaff?

Becoming a travel nurse is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

Step 1: Earn your nursing degree, pass the NCLEX, and get licensed in your state.

Step 2: Gain experience in your specialty of choice to boost your resume and open up opportunities.

Step 3: Work with your CareerStaff recruiter to gain licensure in the new state you’ll be working in. Each state has its own unique requirements for travel nurses. Your recruiter will help guide you through these requirements so you can find your dream travel nursing role.

How to Get Licensed:

You do need licensure in the state where you’ll be working, but your CareerStaff recruiter can help guide you through the process. If you live in a state that’s part of the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC), you can become licensed in dozens of states with a single license.
