What certifications are required for this ICU travel nurse position?
Every ICU travel nurse position will require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). If you’re heading to a neuro or stroke unit, you’ll also need NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Certifications like CCRN and PALS can be required in specialized units—and they’re always great to have to open up more opportunities. Simply click "I’m Interested" to connect with a recruiter who can walk you through exactly what’s needed for this role.
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.
Can my compact license cover this Arkansas travel assignment?
Yes—an active multistate RN license covers this assignment because Arkansas is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. For licensure by endorsement, note the fingerprint quirk: after applying, out-of-state nurses must message the Board through the Nurse Portal to request the ink fingerprint card—it isn’t sent automatically. Our Arkansas Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
