FAQs – Operating Room Travel Nurse Jobs Near San Diego, 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

Explore San Diego, CA
A major coastal metro in the far southwest corner of California, San Diego, CA offers travel nurses a vast hospital market to work in. Assignments span emergency, medical-surgical, and specialty work across a wide range of facilities. Chula Vista is about fifteen minutes south on I-5, with La Jolla northwest along the coast and Escondido north up I-15. The metro is its own large market, with Los Angeles a couple of hours north as the only bigger one. Local housing runs high across the region, so many travelers lean on the trolley and the freeways to get around, and San Diego International sits a few minutes from downtown for the flight out. Balboa Park and the bayfront Embarcadero give green and water in the heart of the city.
