Can I do travel nurse without experience?? I’m LPN

[@blake3606]

You need at least a year. You'll be held at a higher standard than a staff nurse.

You ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY MUST have experience! You are on your own as a travel nurse and are expected to work independently once you accept a travel assignment
