Mandatory Courses
What mandatory courses do I need to do?
Now look at your current qualifications. Are you suitable to be a travel nurse and in what specialty? What qualifications or extended practice do you need to complete to get into the area you want to be in? If not, how can you get there?
We strongly encourage you to get your mandatory courses completed at your current place of employment prior to starting travel nursing so that you can do them free of charge!
