There is a Travel Nurse section. You may want to enter your question there.

There are many listing for travel nursing agencies within popular nursing magazines. Take your pick and call them up. I considered travelling as an LPN about 3 years ago. At that time I applied with some of the companies. The next thing I knew they were leaving messages on my machine nearly every day telling of job offers. If things haven't changed dramatically since then, you shouldn't have a problem. Keep in mind that some agencies require one year experience as a nurse and some require one year hospital based experience. Some don't require any level of experience.

Try Delphi Forums for travel nursing.

Chances are if no one is responding then we don't have an answer.

Just MHO, but I would stay far, far away from any agency that did not require any level of experience. Patient safety and your license are not a priority for them - dollars are. You have to watch your own back as a traveler and keep in mind that most recruiters are not and have never been nurses - they have no clue about the responsibility that comes with a license, they just want that commission.
