California Healthcare License Information



California is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses must hold a California license to work in the state. Registered nurses typically apply through the California Board of Registered Nursing. Allied health licensing requirements vary by specialty.

Depending on the role, clinicians may also need certifications such as Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, ARRT credentials, NBRC credentials, or other specialty-specific requirements. Your Medical Solutions recruiter can help you understand what’s needed before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simply apply here. You can also call us at 1.866.633.3548 and speak with a recruiter, who can answer your questions and send you an information packet. All we need to begin is your application and resume. Once we receive your information, we can begin discussing potential assignments that fit your profile. When you find a job you want, your recruiter will submit you for the job and walk you through the process from there.
Most assignments are 13 weeks in length, but we’ve seen them as short as four weeks and as long as 24. You are obligated to finish your assignment as contracted, but there is no contract binding you to work more assignments afterward. You can take a new assignment right after your last or take a break. It’s all up to you!
Many states are in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows you reciprocal rights to practice in compact states. If you need to obtain a new state license, your Recruiter can tell you exactly how much time is necessary to apply for it and the cost. If a new license is required for your assignment, Medical Solutions will reimburse you for the cost!
