What certifications are required for this ICU travel nurse position?
Every ICU travel nurse position will require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). If you’re heading to a neuro or stroke unit, you’ll also need NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Certifications like CCRN and PALS can be required in specialized units—and they’re always great to have to open up more opportunities. Simply click "I’m Interested" to connect with a recruiter who can walk you through exactly what’s needed for this role.
What kind of critical care experience is preferred for travel ICU jobs?
Facilities generally look for at least 2 years of recent critical care experience and confidence caring for complex or unstable patients. Experience with ventilators, titratable medications, hemodynamic monitoring, and the specific ICU population may be requested depending on the assignment. 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 Kealakekua, HI
Kealakekua, HI sits on the slopes above Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island's Kona side, where Mamalahoa Highway strings together the coffee-country towns that share one healthcare corridor on the leeward slope. Travel assignments support west-side coverage, most often in medical-surgical and emergency settings serving communities from Kailua-Kona south through Captain Cook. Nearly everything runs along the single upland highway, so housing anywhere between Holualoa and Captain Cook keeps commutes short. Rentals are scarce and go quickly, which makes arranging housing before arrival the most practical step a traveler can take. The bay's snorkeling waters and the surrounding coffee farms sit minutes below the road, and Kailua-Kona handles airport access and larger errands a half hour north.
