I’m interested in a job located in a state where I don’t currently hold a nursing license. Can I still apply?

In order to take an assignment through Nomad, you must be licensed to work as a nurse in the state where your assignment is located for the entire duration of your employment; but this does not mean that you cannot apply for a job in a state where you do not already have a license, depending on the state you are applying to. As long as the required license is active by the time your assignment starts, you can apply to the job with the note that you are willing to obtain the proper licensure. Please note that this is not possible for every state due to the time that it takes to obtain certain state licenses. In addition, some states may require you to have the state license in hand at the time of application/ submission.

Because each state has a different estimated turnaround time for license procuration, please reach out to your Nomad Navigator to see if you are able to be submitted as willing to obtain that license. We also recommend that you check that particular state’s Board of Nursing website for details about licensure.
