- Basic Life Support (BLS)
- Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)
- CNOR (preferred or required for many roles)
Will I need experience with specific surgical cases for this OR assignment?

Can I use my multistate RN license for this Louisiana assignment?
Yes—an active multistate RN license covers this assignment because Louisiana is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. Endorsement applicants should know the process isn’t fully digital: most documents upload through the Nurse Portal, but the background-check packet and notarized affidavit of verification must reach the Board by postal mail. Our Louisiana Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.

Ochsner is not the region's designated trauma center (University Medical Center New Orleans holds the Level I); its acuity comes from transplant, advanced heart failure, and complex surgical care, including the SynCardia total artificial heart.

Explore New Orleans, LA
A hospital market as distinctive as the city itself runs through New Orleans, LA, with systems spread from the downtown medical district across the parishes and travel demand spanning emergency, intensive care, and surgical assignments. The patient mix and the culture reward nurses who settle in rather than pass through. The streetcar lines still work as actual transit, the French Quarter belongs to visitors while locals claim the Bywater and Mid-City, and the food and music calendars simply never stop. Metairie and the West Bank communities widen the search at gentler prices. The housing strategy matters; rents vary enormously by neighborhood, and matching home to campus tames the daily logistics. Few contracts anywhere in the country offer a traveler this much city to work with.
