Avoid Career Plateaus – By working in various hospital systems with different patient needs and obstetric specialties, you gain unique skills. Adapting to new evidence-based labor practices in different environments acts as a catalyst for your nursing career.
Freedom to Explore – The choice of your next destination is entirely yours. Whether you crave the West Coast sun, access to winter sports, or the energy of a specific city, you can target assignments that align perfectly with your lifestyle goals and wanderlust.
To become a travel labor and delivery nurse, the journey typically begins with earning a nursing degree, such as a BSN or ADN, and passing the NCLEX-RN to obtain licensure as a Registered Nurse. Following licensure, aspiring travel nurses must gain hands-on experience, typically at least one year at the bedside, to master skills like monitoring mother-baby couplets, timing contractions, and assisting during deliveries or C-sections. Many professionals also choose to advance their careers and marketability by obtaining specialized certifications, such as the Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) credential, as well as essential certifications like BLS, ACLS, and NRP. Once established with the necessary experience and credentials, nurses can partner with a travel agency, like Nomad, to find assignments that fit their career goals and lifestyle.
