Travel nursing experience

[nursekrin]

To be a traveling nurse, is it true that you MUST have at least one year of experience?

My mother retired after 18 years and is now a traveler. she has always gone through an orientation and some type of med math exam. the companys she has used have taken nurses with 1 year but prefer two years experience. she has been to wisconsin. california, alaska, maine, and arizona. I would love to travel one day when my children are older. I wouldn't consider doing it unless i had at least a years experience.
