Spring Travel Assignments: How Nurses and CNAs Can Land Assignments More Quickly

Mar 17, 2026

Spring is a busy season for healthcare staffing. As facilities manage staff vacations and changing resident needs, the demand for travel nurses, LPNs, and CNAs increases. If you’re looking for your next assignment, spring can be a great time to get placed quickly.

Here are a few ways to speed up the process:

Keep Credentials Updated

Make sure your licenses, certifications, immunizations, and CPR are current. Having documents ready allows recruiters to submit you for assignments right away.

Consider a Compact or Multi-State License

For nurses, having a Compact (multi-state) license can open more travel opportunities and help you get placed faster since you can work in multiple states without applying for additional licenses. (view DTN State Credentials) State Credentials: Ensuring Quality & Compliance | DTN Staffing

Stay Flexible

Being open to different locations or facilities can increase your chances of getting an assignment quickly.

Stay in Contact with Your Recruiter

Your recruiter can match you with opportunities faster when they know your availability, schedule preferences, and locations.
