RN travel agencies, new grad RN, 8 years LPN experience

[Emily elizabeth]

Hello everyone. 
 

As per headline states, I am a newly grad RN with my associates. I was an LPN for 8 years in SNF. 
 

I know most travel agencies require one year RN experience within hospital.

 

However , I want to travel within LTC , are there any agencies that will accept my LPN experience ? Since I worked in SNF and have plenty experience and skills? 
 

also. I'm currently in Midwest. Ideally I want to go back to nyc (Brooklyn or queens) to travel and was hoping it would be thru an agency that places nurses in a Hotel or provided housing versus a stipend for housing (I'm from nyc and it's so incredibly hard to find housing and I prefer the agency to have this set up in the city) 

 

ideally my end goal is to save money and move down south with my family. 
 

I thought about getting a year experience in hospital where I'm at now but honestly I'm ready to get out and speed up this process. I thought I would be more eager to work in a hospital setting but honestly I've been working LTC for so long it's grown on me a lot and I'm good at my job and enjoy geriatrics

 

Any advice at all, please comment!

You should run that question by three agencies. During my agency  assignments, my housing was pre-arranged. Check out the travel nurse forum here.

Good luck
