How do I become a Traveler with Medical Solutions?
Simply apply here. You can also call us at 1.866.633.3548 and speak with a recruiter, who can answer your questions and send you an information packet. All we need to begin is your application and resume. Once we receive your information, we can begin discussing potential assignments that fit your profile. When you find a job you want, your recruiter will submit you for the job and walk you through the process from there.
How long are travel healthcare assignments?
Most assignments are 13 weeks in length, but we’ve seen them as short as four weeks and as long as 24. You are obligated to finish your assignment as contracted, but there is no contract binding you to work more assignments afterward. You can take a new assignment right after your last or take a break. It’s all up to you!
What about state licensing?
Many states are in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows you reciprocal rights to practice in compact states. If you need to obtain a new state license, your Recruiter can tell you exactly how much time is necessary to apply for it and the cost. If a new license is required for your assignment, Medical Solutions will reimburse you for the cost!
All about Arizona Travel Nursing
Arizona is a busy state for travel nursing because of its high population of elderly people. Being a popular retirement destination and locale for “snowbirds” who visit in winter means there’s a higher need for healthcare staffing professionals, especially on a seasonal basis. The Grand Canyon State consistently offers travel nurses high paying job opportunities and the chance to build their skills and resumes at a variety of traveler-friendly healthcare facilities.
U.S. News & World Report’s 2020/2021 Best Hospitals list evaluated 108 hospitals in Arizona, including the #1-ranked Mayo Clinic Phoenix and #2-ranked Banner Boswell Medical Center. There are many other hospitals and non-hospital healthcare facilities throughout the state as well. U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 Best States list ranked Arizona #7 for its economy. Arizona is a great place for travelers to live, work, play, and earn great pay!
Arizona is currently a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows nurses to practice in other NLC states without having to get additional state licenses. New states are frequently joining so keep an eye on the latest NLC map. Our team is always happy to help you with any Arizona state licensing questions.
