If more than one contract looks like a fit, selecting “I’m Interested” on multiple assignments can give you more options to discuss with your recruiter.

What certifications are required for this ER travel nurse position?
Most travel ER jobs require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), with Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) often needed if pediatric patients are involved. Many facilities also prefer the Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC), though it’s not always required. Specific requirements vary by unit—click "I’m Interested" to connect with a professional recruiter who can walk you through the exact certifications needed for this role.
How much ER experience do I need for this travel assignment?
Most travel ER jobs look for at least 2 years of recent emergency department experience and confidence caring for patients with a wide range of needs and acuity levels. Depending on the facility, experience with triage, trauma, pediatric patients, or high-volume emergency departments may also be preferred. Click “I’m Interested” to connect with a recruiter about assignment-specific requirements.
Will my multistate nursing license cover this California travel assignment?
No—California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so a multistate license from another state doesn’t authorize practice here; you’ll need an active California RN license. Apply for licensure by endorsement through the California Board of Registered Nursing and plan ahead—eligible endorsement applicants may also apply for a temporary license while the permanent application is pending. Our California Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.

  • Relocation and Travel Reimbursement
  • Dedicated team to help with state licensing & renewals
  • Weekly Direct Deposit

Explore Santa Cruz, CA

On the northern edge of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz, CA makes a coastal base for travel nurses, with assignments spread across the city and the towns just inland. Emergency departments and medical-surgical units carry much of the local caseload, with community hospitals serving a year-round population that swells in summer. Capitola, Soquel, and Watsonville sit a few minutes down the coast or into the valley for added contract options. Many travelers commute over Highway 17 to reach larger Silicon Valley campuses, a winding drive better tackled outside peak hours. Housing here runs tight near the water, so renting a few miles inland often makes a contract here far more affordable, a tradeoff many travelers accept for the coast.
