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.
Explore San Rafael, CA
Just over the Golden Gate in Marin County, San Rafael, CA pairs a laid-back North Bay setting with quick access to the Bay Area's deep hospital market. Travel nurses work emergency and telemetry assignments at the area's hospitals, with more contracts a short drive south or across the bridges. Novato and Petaluma sit north on US-101, while Richmond and the East Bay are a span away over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Marin rents run steep, so many travelers share housing or base up toward Novato to keep the cost workable. On a day off, San Francisco is a short hop over the Golden Gate, and the Mount Tam trails and Marin headlands sit even closer.
