Because of the national nursing shortage, the need for travel nurses is on the rise. Many nurses aren’t sure how to initiate the process, but fortunately, it’s relatively easy. Read on to learn the simple steps to becoming a travel nurse.

Talk with a staffing agency. When choosing an agency, make sure to select a company that specializes in placing travel nurses. This will give you access to more jobs. Check out staffing companies like Clinical One.

Complete an application and talk with a recruiter. Once you’ve contacted a travel nurse agency, they will review your application and discuss your qualifications. Be prepared to answer questions about why you want to become a travel nurse, your career goals, and areas you’re willing to travel to.

Interview with hiring companies. Once a travel nurse agency has evaluated your experience, they will connect you with hiring companies that are a good fit. Typically, you’ll be required to attend a phone interview.

Accept the travel nursing job. Once you’re done with the interview process, all that’s left to do is wait for the job offers to roll in.
