Travel Rehab RN positions typically require one to two years of recent specialty experience. Most facilities prefer candidates with demonstrated clinical competency in rehabilitation nursing settings. Experience across diverse patient populations and facility types strengthens your candidacy.

Some facilities may also prefer ACLS certification depending on patient acuity levels.

Travel Rehab RN assignments typically run 13 weeks. This is the standard contract length across travel healthcare, though shorter assignments may be available depending on facility needs. Extensions are common when both the traveler and facility agree to continue the placement. Contract lengths can sometimes be adjusted based on specific facility requirements or staffing situations. Your Fusion recruiter can help you find assignments that match your preferred timeline, whether you're looking for a standard 13-week contract, a shorter assignment, or opportunities with strong extension potential in facilities that frequently extend their travel staff.
