Because we have PICU nursing jobs available across the country, where you head is up to you. We’ve had travel nurses who chase winter from the slopes of Colorado to highly paid assignments in the snow-covered Midwest. We have others who shiver at that thought, choosing instead to roam from Hawaiian beach to California beach to Florida beach soaking up vitamin D. Whatever you’re into, we have an open assignment that will work for you.
We update our job list every day, so make sure to check our open PICU travel nursing jobs frequently.

PICU Interview Tips
If you’re interviewing for a PICU job (or several PICU jobs) congrats! With a little preparation and a dash of confidence you’ll be ready for any questions that come your way. Know that the interview isn’t only about the facility representative evaluating you – it’s also your chance to ask questions to gauge your interest in the facility. We’ll send you a form to take notes with, so you won’t forget any of the important the questions to ask (like start date, unit details, floating requirements, schedule, etc.) Most interviews are conducted over the phone with a nurse manager, who will ask you about your clinical skills to see if you’re a good fit. Be sure to present yourself and your abilities confidently – and always be honest. Remember, timing is everything. If you miss a call, call back ASAP. Let your recruiter know right away when the interview is complete. If you decide you want an offer from the facility, he or she will work hard to make that happen. Pro tip – Don’t forget to send an email to thank the interviewer!About Aya Healthcare
