What certifications are required for this ER travel nurse position?

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.
What license is required before starting this Hawaii travel assignment?
You need an active Hawaii RN license or an eligible Hawaii temporary nursing permit. Hawaii sits outside the Nurse Licensure Compact, so multistate privileges from other states don’t reach it. Apply for licensure by endorsement, and note the permit’s catch: it requires accepted employment with a single Hawaii health care entity and is restricted to that employer. Our Hawaii Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
Explore Waimea, HI
On the west side of Kauai, Waimea, HI keeps a slower local pace as the main hospital town for the island's western communities. Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital handles much of the local care, leaning on travelers to keep its emergency and inpatient units staffed. For nurses taking contracts in the area, the town's small footprint means errands stay quick, and assignments also surface in nearby Hanapepe and Kekaha along Kauai's quieter west and south shores. After hours, the overlooks at Waimea Canyon and the quiet local beaches make for an easy break. Assignments here are genuinely rural and far from any mainland metro, which is the appeal for some travelers and a real adjustment for others.
