Travel ICU RN Jobs in Connecticut

Connecticut participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Nurses holding a multistate compact license can practice in Connecticut without obtaining a separate state license. Non-compact license holders must apply for Connecticut licensure through the state Board of Examiners for Nursing, which accepts applications by mail or PDF submission. Processing times typically range from 2-4 weeks depending on application completeness and background check requirements. Your Fusion recruiter will guide you through the licensing process and help ensure all credentials are in order before your ICU assignment begins, making your transition to Connecticut as smooth as possible.
