FAQs – Operating Room Travel Nurse Jobs Near Bakersfield, CA
What certifications do travel OR jobs require?
Most travel OR positions require Basic Life Support (BLS), and many hospitals also require Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). CNOR is preferred by many facilities but required by only a few. Pediatric ORs may ask for PALS.
What recent OR experience is required for travel OR nurse jobs?
Most OR travel jobs expect confidence in general and orthopedic cases plus several additional service lines such as neuro, spine, urology, GYN, vascular, or ENT. Robotic experience is also commonly requested. Facilities may ask for a service-line skills checklist, so be specific about the cases you have circulated or scrubbed recently.
Do travel OR jobs include call?
Often, yes. Hospital OR assignments commonly include evening, overnight, or weekend call, while outpatient surgery centers are less likely to. Call frequency, required response time, and call pay vary by facility, so confirm all three before you accept.
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.
Benefits
- Day One Benefits, Medical, Dental, Vision & 401(k)
- Relocation and Travel Reimbursement
- Dedicated team to help with state licensing & renewals
- Weekly Direct Deposit
- $1,000 Referral Bonus + $250 Bonus for Your Referral

Explore Bakersfield, CA
Bakersfield, CA anchors hospital care for the southern San Joaquin Valley, with campuses like Kern Medical and Adventist Health Bakersfield supporting regional patient flow. Travelers taking contracts here often land on med-surg floors and in operating rooms to meet the area's needs. The metro draws patients from a wide agricultural region across Kern County, which keeps the hospitals' reach broad. The city's neighborhood grids keep daily commutes short, and assignments can extend into nearby Shafter and Wasco. When a shift ends, the Kern River Parkway Trail and the historic Fox Theater are straightforward ways to decompress, with the Sierra foothills close for a longer day off. Housing costs run well below coastal California, which is much of the draw for a Central Valley stretch.
