What certifications are required for this ICU travel nurse position?
Every ICU travel nurse position will require Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). If you’re heading to a neuro or stroke unit, you’ll also need NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Certifications like CCRN and PALS can be required in specialized units—and they’re always great to have to open up more opportunities. Simply click "I’m Interested" to connect with a recruiter who can walk you through exactly what’s needed for this role.
What kind of critical care experience is preferred for travel ICU jobs?
Facilities generally look for at least 2 years of recent critical care experience and confidence caring for complex or unstable patients. Experience with ventilators, titratable medications, hemodynamic monitoring, and the specific ICU population may be requested depending on the assignment. 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.
Explore Allentown, PA
The Lehigh Valley's hospital landscape centers on Allentown, PA, a market grown into one of Pennsylvania's busier healthcare corridors that pulls travel nurses across emergency, telemetry, and intensive care assignments. The valley operates as one connected market; Bethlehem and Easton sit minutes east, so a single rental covers contracts across all three cities. Most travelers find housing well below Philadelphia and New York, both close enough for weekends, which is exactly the arbitrage many travelers come for. The restored downtown around the minor-league arena has filled in with restaurants over the past decade. Dorney Park's coasters handle summer days off, and the Allentown Art Museum holds a deeper collection than first-time visitors expect.
