Question 1

Do I need a California license for travel cath lab jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, California requires an active California RN license for travel cath lab positions. California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, meaning nurses cannot practice under out-of-state licenses. All travel nurses must obtain California licensure before beginning assignments in the state. The California Board of Registered Nursing processes applications, which typically require submission of official transcripts, fingerprinting, and background checks. Your Fusion recruiter can guide you through the California licensing process step-by-step, helping you gather required documentation and ensuring your license is active before your assignment start date. They'll work with you to meet all state-specific requirements and facility credentialing needs.
