Most travel Dialysis RN positions require one to two years of recent dialysis experience. Facilities typically prefer candidates with exposure to acute and chronic dialysis modalities, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Requirements vary by location and facility type, with some assignments accepting newer dialysis nurses while others seek more specialized experience.

Contract lengths can vary based on facility staffing requirements, seasonal demand, and your availability.
