To apply for a nursing travel agency, you will have to fill some forms and present some required paper documents. The required documents include licenses' verifications, reports of previous experience, sub-specialty skill assessments, verifications of immunization status, tuberculin skin test results, chest radiology report and a doctor's statement approving health fitness for the job. Although the required paper work might seem burdensome, it is only required once per agency application.

Since most travel nursing agencies are certified by the Joint Commission, it is important that they have all the proper paperwork before sending a candidate out on assignment. Your travel nurse recruiter will usually provide you with a list of requirements weeks prior to the start of your assignment so you will have plenty of time to become compliant with the hospital's standards. Here is a list of standard travel nurse compliance forms required by most staffing agencies.
