Skill listings are how you highlight your expertise through skills and experience to let employers know you are open to gigs. Create a detailed skill listing to land the exact gig you want. Adding a skill listing makes your profile visible to the employers to bid.
Creating a skill listing is a requirement to bid on gigs or to receive bids from interested employers. Without a skill listing, you won’t be able to participate in the bidding process or showcase your profile to potential employers.
If the bid you’ve received doesn’t meet your expectations, simply click on ‘Not interested’. Alternatively, if you require assistance in making a decision, feel free to initiate a chat with the employer directly on the platform.
We don’t, necessarily! Our AI does. We will only contact you if our system matches your skill density and career interests to an open position based on your contract preferences and licensing that would be worth your while to know about.

A travel nurse is a nurse that gets to pick when and where they work. Because the demand for nurses is high, many healthcare systems are experiencing shortages. They seek out traveling nurses to work a specific position for a short period of time, usually from six to 13 weeks. Travel nurses are needed in a variety of specialties, opening up the opportunities for diverse work experiences. See what travel nursing is like at SkillGigs.
Pay rates for travel nurses varies by state, but is typically more than the wage for permanent nurses. And this pay rate difference has been in place far before the unprecedented pandemic times. A travel nurse is taking on a temporary assignment where there is a severe shortage and are compensated for their flexibility and work in hard-to fill specialities. Travel nurses that use SkillGigs have access to our intuitive bill rate calculator so that you can set your desired rate. Hiring managers see your requested rate when they submit an offer. Sort through your most competitive offers and fill your calendar with the offers you accept.Travel nurses also benefit from flexibility in their schedules and the ability to choose when they want to work. By choosing travel nursing over a traditional hospital contract position, nurses can travel from state-to-state, from hospital-to-hospital, all while earning an income while seeing new things throughout the country. Travel nurses have the flexibility to choose when and where they want to work, traveling from California to New York, and everywhere in between.
In addition to your valid professional licenses, you need one year of recent hospital or long term care-based nursing experience and good references. Remember you can only practice in the state you are licensed in, so you’ll have more opportunities if you maintain multiple state licenses and if you possess flexibility. See if your license is apart of the NLC here.
The minimum travel nursing requirements depend on your area of specialty, as well as the facility, unit, and sometimes even the location of the position. The facilities we work with have different requirements and preferences, but the majority of them request a minimum of two years of experience. For some specialties like psych and rehab, the minimum can be higher. Click here to read about further pre-requisites.
