Travel nurses with a compact license can start assignments more quickly.
If you’re from a non-compact state, you’ll need to apply for a Wisconsin license. The process is straightforward and handled before your assignment begins.
Make sure your license is active and in good standing before starting your travel assignment.
Always verify your compact license eligibility and any Wisconsin-specific requirements.
Check CE requirements if your assignment will extend beyond one year.
