Travel Nursing According to Cirrus Medical Staffing

More positions are currently available in Travel Nursing for Case Managers than in the past several years. This is attributed to a decline in available resources, caused by rising healthcare costs and a growing shortage of available Case Managers. We expect the rise in Travel Nursing assignments for Case Managers to continue so now is the best time to begin your journey with a Travel Nursing Agency such as Cirrus.

There are a number of areas that get considered when determining is one is qualified to be a travel case manager. What are the requirements for a traveling Case Manager?

Most hospitals are looking for candidates with at least 2 years of experience with Case Management in any specialty. Although a BSN degree is preferred, there are travel assignments available for experienced Case Managers with an ADN degree. Standard certifications include BLS and ACLS.

How can you become a Case Manager?

A Bachelor’s degree in nursing is the first step to becoming a Case Manager. Followed by a case management certificate. Online programs for certification can be completed in 12 months. Experience through an internship or find a full-time position at a local hospital, clinic or rehabilitation cente are also great ideas and then after 2 years of hard work and dedication, you’re ready to begin your travels!
