Question 1

Do I need a Minnesota license for travel nursing jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Minnesota requires a state-specific RN license for travel nursing. Minnesota is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, meaning nurses cannot practice using a compact license from another state. All travel nurses must obtain and maintain an active Minnesota RN license before beginning any assignment in the state. The Minnesota Board of Nursing processes license applications through their online portal, typically requiring proof of education, passing NCLEX scores, and background checks. Your Fusion recruiter can guide you through the Minnesota licensing process, help you gather required documentation, and ensure your license is active before your assignment start date, making your transition to practice in Minnesota as smooth as possible.
