Question 1

How much experience do I need for travel Infection Prevention RN jobs?

Accepted Answer

Most travel Infection Prevention RN roles prefer at least two years of specialty experience. Recent infection prevention background is commonly required, though requirements vary by facility and location. Candidates with broad exposure across different patient populations and facility types tend to be more competitive for assignments. Your recruiter can help identify positions that align with your experience level and career goals, whether you're building specialty depth or transitioning into infection prevention from related nursing roles.

Question 2

What certifications do I need for travel Infection Prevention RN positions?

Accepted Answer

Travel Infection Prevention RNs need an active RN license and current BLS certification. The Certification in Infection Control (CIC) from the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) is commonly preferred or required by facilities. Experience with National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) reporting systems is typically expected. Additional certifications in epidemiology or infection prevention may strengthen your candidacy depending on facility protocols. Requirements vary by assignment location and facility type, so your recruiter will review specific credential needs for each position. Some facilities may also prefer candidates with experience in surveillance methodologies, outbreak investigation, or antimicrobial stewardship programs to support comprehensive infection prevention initiatives.

Question 3

How long are travel Infection Prevention RN assignments?

Accepted Answer

Travel Infection Prevention RN assignments typically run 13 weeks. This standard contract length is common across travel healthcare positions. Extensions beyond the initial 13 weeks are frequently available when both the healthcare facility and the traveler wish to continue the assignment, and some facilities may offer shorter contract durations based on their specific staffing needs. Your recruiter can help you identify assignments that align with your preferred timeline and career goals, whether you're looking for a standard 13-week contract, a shorter assignment, or an opportunity with strong extension potential in a facility where you'd like to build longer-term experience.
