Each travel assignment should list: facility name (or 'major academic medical center' if confidential), city and state, contract dates, specialty unit, and bed count. Consistent formatting lets recruiters instantly assess your experience breadth. Group short back-to-back contracts at the same facility as a single entry with an extension note.

If you hold a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) license, place it prominently in your header alongside your primary state license number. List every state where you hold active licensure. Agencies and hospitals in compact states prioritize travel nurses who can start sooner without waiting for new license processing.

Travel nurses who are fluent in multiple EMR systems are far more deployable. Create a clear 'EMR Proficiency' section listing Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Allscripts, or any system you have used in production. Note your proficiency level (basic, intermediate, super-user) and the modules you used—charting, MAR, orders, or workflows specific to your specialty.
