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.

Across a broad East Coast clinical footprint, Philadelphia, PA pairs a deep healthcare market with dense regional transit that travelers can plan around. Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital are among the academic systems shaping that landscape, where recurring coverage can include the ICU and medical-surgical floors across the metro. Assignments extend into nearby Norristown and Chester, while SEPTA subways and regional rail keep cross-town trips workable without a car. 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.
