As a traveling nurse you have to obtain nursing licenses from different states or countries sometimes, so do you apply on your own or relay on an agency to get it done for you?

At eMedEvents, we want you to weigh in your options when applying or renewing the licenses. At times the process is tedious, complicated, and at times require a lot of paperwork too.

Agency does make sense when you are applying aboard or even when applying for jobs in multiple states as they can assist you with the application process, offer cost-effective solutions to various charges like background check fee, verification fee etc that are added by state to renew or issue new license, You can get assistance whenever you have a query or issue with your licenses. Certain states take loads of time to issue or renew nursing licenses and require multiple visits to get your license, hence agencies at times like these help process your application faster.

However, they do carry their own drawbacks i.e when going through an agency they might ask you to sign a contract with them that will limit your chances, and also they might charge a hefty price as processing fee.

Acquiring your own licenses has its own benefits, you will only apply to those states that you want to work in and getting a license beforehand helps you narrow down your job options, you will not be signing a contract with anyone that can hinder your employment opportunities.

As a traveling nurse weighs in your options before you apply through the agency, consider the overall cost and other commitments. If you like to read more about the traveling nurse, then visit our blog Continuing Medical Education.
