Does my Med Surg background meet the experience requirements for this job?
Travel Med Surg jobs typically require at least 2 years of recent experience caring for multiple patients with varied medical conditions and care needs. Facilities may also look for experience with post-operative care, patient education, discharge planning, or telemetry, depending on the unit. Click “I’m Interested” to connect with a recruiter about assignment-specific requirements.
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.

Cerner (Oracle Health). Cook County Health uses Cerner as its EHR.

What's the teaching environment like?
It trains physicians, nurses, and advanced providers in a high-volume, high-acuity setting — strong exposure for trauma and critical-care nurses.
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.
