Some hospitals require two plus years of experience and/or previous travel nursing experience. Your Source Medical recruiter can help find travel contracts that will best fit your level of experience.

How long are travel contracts?

Travel contracts, also known as travel assignments, can vary in length but typically are 13 weeks. Contracts can be shorter or longer depending on the need of the healthcare facility. Flexibility!
