Question 1

Do I need a Missouri license for travel nursing jobs?

Accepted Answer

Missouri participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact. Nurses holding a multistate compact license can practice in Missouri without obtaining additional state licensure. Non-compact license holders must apply for Missouri licensure through the state board of nursing before beginning clinical work. Compact eligibility requires your primary state of residence to also be a compact member state. Your Fusion recruiter can verify your compact status and guide you through any necessary licensing steps to ensure you're fully credentialed before your Missouri assignment starts. Processing times vary, so it's important to begin the licensure verification process early in your application.
