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.

Do I need to apply for a Texas nursing license for this travel nurse assignment?
Not if you already hold an active Texas RN license or an active multistate RN license—Texas participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact. If neither applies, you’ll generally need Texas licensure through the Texas Board of Nursing; nurses applying by endorsement must pass the Texas Nursing Jurisprudence Exam. Our Texas Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.

Explore Waco, TX
Halfway down I-35 between Dallas and Austin, Waco, TX works as a Brazos River city whose hospital market serves Central Texas with enough depth to keep emergency and critical care contracts in steady rotation. Magnolia Market's silos draw weekend crowds downtown, the visible engine of the city's revival, and the riverwalk strings parks along the Brazos through the center. Cameron Park's cliffs and trails give the city green space far beyond its size. Renting stays inexpensive against either metro up or down the interstate. The Dr Pepper Museum pours floats in the drink's birthplace, mammoth fossils rest where they fell at the national monument, and Baylor's football and event calendar layers college-town energy over the whole city.
