What certifications are required for this ICU travel nurse position?

What kind of critical care experience is preferred for travel ICU jobs?
Facilities generally look for at least 2 years of recent critical care experience and confidence caring for complex or unstable patients. Experience with ventilators, titratable medications, hemodynamic monitoring, and the specific ICU population may be requested depending on the assignment. Click “I’m Interested” to connect with a recruiter about assignment-specific requirements.
Must I hold my own Alabama license for this travel assignment?
No—Alabama recognizes Nurse Licensure Compact privilege, so an active multistate RN license is all you need. If you apply by endorsement, eligible applicants may receive Alabama’s one-time, nonrenewable temporary permit while permanent licensure is completed—so plan its timing carefully. Our Alabama Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
