Emergency Licenses for Nurses due to COVID19

April 06, 2020

In the coming months, the coronavirus outbreak will create high demand for additional healthcare professionals. These professionals will need to provide care for the growing number of patients in facilities across the country. Healthcare staffing agencies will provide essential workforce management solutions by recruiting clinicians to fill workforce gaps around the nation. This means more nurses will be able to secure emergency licenses and travel around the country more easily.

States Removing Barriers for Nurses to Earn Emergency Licenses

In an effort to solve this problem, many states are removing barriers and improving processing times for nurses trying to earn emergency licenses.

In some states, such as South Carolina, state medical boards are expediting temporary licensure for out-of-state physicians, nurses, and respiratory care therapists within one to three days.

Regulations and wait times are changing on a daily basis, and Gifted Healthcare is here to help you become licensed and placed in a facility as soon as possible.
