Travel NICU RN Jobs in Arizona

Arizona is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. Nurses holding a valid multistate compact license can practice in Arizona without obtaining an additional state license. Non-compact license holders must apply for an Arizona RN license through the Arizona State Board of Nursing by submitting a mail or PDF application, which typically takes several weeks to process. NICU RN positions commonly require BLS and NRP certification, with ACLS often preferred by facilities. Your Fusion recruiter will guide you through the licensing process and verify all credentials are in place before your assignment begins, ensuring you meet Arizona's requirements and are ready to start on day one.
