Short-Term Healthcare Assignments for Temporary Staffing Needs
Travel nurses are licensed nurses (RNs, LPNs, or NPs) who take short-term assignments—typically 8–26 weeks—in locations experiencing workforce shortages. They provide essential flexibility for healthcare facilities with temporary staffing needs.
Temporary Assignments
Contract periods ranging from 8–26 weeks for specific staffing needs
Emergency Coverage
Rapid deployment for unexpected staffing shortages or crisis situations
Rural Placements
Coverage for remote communities and underserved healthcare regions
Seasonal Support
Additional staffing for high demand periods or special projects
Specialized Projects
Coverage during facility expansions, renovations, or new service launches
Important Clarification
Travel nursing is not a separate licensure class—all travel nurses must hold active licensure (RN, LPN, NP) with Canadian nursing regulatory bodies and meet provincial registration requirements.
Travel Nursing Applications
- Hospital Coverage: Emergency departments, ICU, medical-surgical units during staff shortages
- Long-Term Care: Temporary coverage for extended care facilities and rehabilitation centers
- Community Health: Rural health stations and northern Indigenous health programs
- Project-Based Work: New facility openings, special programs, and seasonal demand increases
Provincial Registration Requirements for Travel Nurses
Understanding the licensing requirements for temporary nursing assignments across provinces
Licensing Requirements
- Home Province Licensure: Must hold active license in the province or territory where they intend to work, even temporarily
- Process: Cannot practice without proper provincial registration regardless of assignment duration
- Verification: We verify active registration status for all travel nursing candidates
Cross-Provincial Work Challenges
- No National License: Canada does not have a national nursing license system (unlike the U.S. compact model)
- Provincial Applications: Travel nurses must apply for licensure in each province/territory where they accept assignments
- Example: An RN licensed in Ontario must apply for temporary or full registration in BC to work as a travel nurse
BC-Specific Requirements
- BCCNM Registration: All nurses working in BC must register with BC College of Nurses and Midwives
- Temporary Registration: Available for short term assignments while maintaining home province license
- Expedited Process: Streamlined application for qualified nurses from other provinces
