Travel nurse credential checklist
Prepare an assignment-specific packet, then confirm the facility and agency requirements before sharing.
Start with your assignment
Confirm profession, destination state, specialty, facility and start date. Check licensure and any compact privileges with the relevant board.
Gather professional records
Typical requests can include licenses, BLS or ACLS where relevant, education, employment history, references and skills records. The required list varies by role and employer.
Confirm health and screening requirements
An employer may request immunization, TB screening, physical or background-check evidence. Obtain the current instructions directly from the agency; do not upload patient records or unrelated medical information.
Review and share intentionally
Check expiration dates, remove unnecessary information and share only the requested records through permissioned access. A checklist does not establish assignment eligibility.
