    How much experience do I need?

    I have been a nurse for about 13 years. However I have been in administration for the 6 years. I would like to try travel nursing in the future. What type of time do I need to be back in my specialtiy? How much clinical time before I can begin to apply for travel nurse positions?

    Re: How much experience do I need?

    Most hospitals require 1-2 years of RECENT experience in your chosen specialty- so if you're looking to travel in the future, I would try to get back at the bedside for a year or so before hitting the road.
