Can an LPN be a traveling nurse?

No, an LPN cannot be a traveling nurse. Traveling nurses are registered nurses (RNs) who work on temporary assignments in different locations. To become a traveling nurse, you must have an RN license and at least one year of experience as a registered nurse. LPNs are not qualified to work as traveling nurses because they do not have the same level of education and training as RNs.
