Travel nursing for new grads.

Published

Does anyone know if nursing agencies require you to have experience before they hire you? I am interested on travel nursing. Can new grads be travelers?

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Absolutely experience is required, generally a minimum 2-3 years paid experience preferably in a specialty area for more competitive role.

You receive only a brief orientation to unit/faculty policy and are expected to go right to work with no supervision. Therefore travel nursing is grossly inappropriate for an inexperienced new grad.

Most desired specialties are often experienced OR (especially specialty OR such as cardio thoracic), NICU, PICU, MICU, SICU, ED, LDRP,
