Accepted Answer

Most travel Pre/Post Op RN assignments prefer one to two years of recent specialty experience. Facilities commonly seek candidates with direct patient care exposure in perioperative settings, though requirements vary by location and employer.

Requirements vary by facility and state, so your recruiter will review specific credential needs for each assignment and help you understand which certifications will strengthen your candidacy for the positions you're interested in pursuing.

Extensions beyond 13 weeks are common when both the nurse and facility agree to continue the placement. Contract lengths can vary based on seasonal demand, facility staffing needs, and unit-specific requirements. Your recruiter can help identify assignments that match your preferred timeline, whether you're looking for a standard 13-week placement or exploring shorter or extended options. Some facilities offer contracts ranging from 8 to 26 weeks based on their perioperative staffing needs.
