General Nurse Licensing Information:
As a travel nurse, obtaining RN licenses in multiple states can open up new opportunities for fulfilling assignments and higher pay rates. Maintaining multiple state nursing licenses is an investment that will give you expansive choices when you are looking for your next travel nurse assignment. States with the highest-paying assignments, like California and New York, can take more than a month to process your application, so the sooner you start the process, the faster you can earn the pay you deserve.
Fastaff is committed to fueling your ambition and we offer licensing programs to help nurses become licensed in states they are not currently licensed in. Our team is well-versed in the various nurse licensing systems and can help guide you through the process.
If you’re interested in learning more, recruiters are standing by to answer your questions.

Licensing Program Qualifications:
Fastaff wants you to have the option of working in any state across the U.S. If you apply for a new or renewed state license, and accept and complete a Fastaff assignment in that same state, we will reimburse your fees*.
