What certifications are required for this ER travel nurse position?
Most travel ER jobs require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), with Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) often needed if pediatric patients are involved. Many facilities also prefer the Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC), though it’s not always required. Specific requirements vary by unit—click "I’m Interested" to connect with a professional recruiter who can walk you through the exact certifications needed for this role.
How much ER experience do I need for this travel assignment?
Most travel ER jobs look for at least 2 years of recent emergency department experience and confidence caring for patients with a wide range of needs and acuity levels. Depending on the facility, experience with triage, trauma, pediatric patients, or high-volume emergency departments may also be preferred. Click “I’m Interested” to connect with a recruiter about assignment-specific requirements.
Is Pennsylvania a compact state for this travel assignment?
Yes—and recently so: Pennsylvania fully implemented the Nurse Licensure Compact in July 2025, so an active multistate RN license now covers Pennsylvania assignments. Nurses applying for a Pennsylvania license complete FBI fingerprinting through IdentoGO using the service code provided during the application; applicants seeking a Pennsylvania multistate license must also complete an additional criminal-history check. Confirm current fees, requirements, and application steps with the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.

Off the clock, RNs often unwind with a visit to Independence Hall or a walk through Rittenhouse Square. With a clinical footprint this broad, the transit network lets travelers plan some assignments with far less car dependence than most large metros allow.
