FAQs – Travel Registered Nurse Jobs in MA

Do I need a Massachusetts-specific RN license to work travel nurse jobs in the state?

Yes—Massachusetts is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), so travel RNs must apply for a Massachusetts license by endorsement. Be prepared for longer processing times, especially in peak seasons. If you're eligible, a temporary license may be available to get you started faster.
