FAQs – ICU Travel Nurse Jobs Near Decatur, GA
What certifications do travel ICU jobs require?
Most travel ICU jobs require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). Neuro and stroke units commonly add NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and pediatric or mixed units may ask for PALS. The CCRN credential is preferred by many facilities and required by a few.
Will I float on a travel ICU assignment?
It depends on the facility and the contract. ICU travelers may float to PCU, step-down, ER holds, or other critical care areas, while some hospitals limit floating more narrowly. Float expectations are not always visible in the posting, so confirm the policy before accepting an assignment.
What experience is required for travel ICU RN jobs?
Most travel ICU RN jobs require recent critical care experience caring for high-acuity patients and independently managing ventilators, vasoactive drips, sedation, and invasive lines. Some units may also look for experience with CRRT, IABP, Impella, ECMO, or other advanced therapies. Requirements vary by ICU type, so facilities typically want your recent experience to closely match the patient population, devices, and level of care on the assignment.
Is a separate Georgia license required for this travel assignment?
No—Georgia honors active multistate RN licenses through the Nurse Licensure Compact. For licensure by endorsement, register with GAPS/Idemia when you submit the application, then complete fingerprinting only after the Board’s emailed instructions arrive. Our Georgia Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.

Explore Decatur, GA
Just east of Atlanta, Decatur, GA keeps its own walkable identity, organized around a historic downtown square that hosts festivals, restaurants, and one of the region's best-known literary scenes. For travel nurses, the location works as a launch point into the Atlanta market's hospital network, with contracts reaching downtown, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven. The MARTA line through Decatur is the practical advantage; rail access spares travelers the metro's notorious traffic for many commutes — a rarity in this region. Intensive care and emergency assignments dominate the area's demand. The rents in Decatur proper run higher than the suburbs farther out, the price of walkability, though many RNs find the square's evening scene worth the difference.
