FAQs – Med Surg Travel Nurse Jobs Near Chicago, IL
What certifications are required for Med Surg travel nursing jobs?
Med Surg travel nursing jobs require current BLS certification, and some units also require ACLS. Confirm the facility’s requirements with your recruiter.
How much experience do I need for a Med Surg travel nursing assignment?
Many facilities look for at least one to two years of recent Med Surg experience for travel positions. You should be comfortable managing multiple patients, prioritizing care, and handling admissions and discharges. Requirements vary by facility, and some units may also expect telemetry experience.
Is an Illinois license needed for this travel assignment?
Yes—unless you already hold an active Illinois RN license. Illinois is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so multistate authority issued elsewhere doesn’t apply. Apply for licensure by endorsement through IDFPR; eligible applicants can request a temporary endorsement permit to begin working while the permanent application is pending. Our Illinois Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.

Licensing in Illinois
Single-state license required. Illinois is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so you'll need a state-specific license. Our licensing team handles endorsement and renewals for you.

Explore Chicago, IL
Hospital campuses line the Lake Michigan shore across Chicago, IL, from Northwestern Memorial Hospital to Rush University Medical Center. Emergency departments and large inpatient units run continuously through that academic footprint. Travelers weighing assignments often find contracts in Oak Park and Evanston, where many settle for the transit access. The CTA rail system ties many of the major medical districts together, so a lot of nurses skip the car and the parking entirely. When the day winds down, a walk along the Lakefront Trail or a stop at the Art Institute is an easy escape. At the city's scale, the practical question is rarely whether there is work, but which corridor to commute to.
