Most travel Nurse Educator positions require at least three years of recent nursing education experience. Facilities typically prefer candidates with demonstrated teaching competency, curriculum development skills, and clinical expertise in their specialty area. Broader exposure across different patient populations and facility types strengthens your candidacy.
