Your first travel assignment requires licensing, credentialing, housing, and facility prep. This checklist helps you approach it confidently.
Licensing and Credentials
Confirm an active license in your assignment state. Check PT Compact eligibility. Gather transcripts, CE proof, certifications, and current BLS. Keep organized digital copies of everything.
Compliance Documents
Facilities require physical exams, TB tests, immunization records, drug screening, and background checks. Schedule early since delays commonly postpone start dates.
Housing, Travel, and Day One
Decide on stipend vs. agency housing early. Confirm your schedule, dress code, and orientation details with your recruiter. Focus your first week on building relationships and learning documentation standards. ProTherapy Staffing supports you from credentialing through your last contract day.
