Signing on for a new travel assignment is full of excitement. The hope for new locations, people, and exciting sights is enough to make you want to grab your suitcase, book a ticket, and leave right away. But the journey from contract to assignment comes with some milestones you need to accomplish to ensure a smooth start to your exciting new adventure.
One stop along that journey is credentialing. Credentialing is the process of verifying licenses, employment documents, medical records, certifications, and any other documents needed for you to start your contract.
Having all the required documents ahead of time is the best way to speed up the credentialing process. To help you prepare, we broke down a list of the most common documents you should have on hand when applying for a travel nurse assignment.
Note: These are the common documents, but depending on the facilities you are applying to, you may or may not need these documents, and there may be additional documents not noted. Refer to your credentialing specialist for a complete list of facility-required documents.
Preparing these documents can be time-consuming, but once you finish, we suggest you keep them in a file (hard copy or digital is fine) and then update it regularly. If you adopt this habit, preparing for future travel nursing assignments will be a breeze.
