FAQs on Travel Nurse Assignments in Pennsylvania
Do compact RNs need another license for travel nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
No, if they hold an active multistate RN license from their compact home state and a valid Pennsylvania practice privilege. Pennsylvania's Board of Nursing compact guidance allows that practice without a separate Pennsylvania license or temporary practice permit.
Can I start travel nurse assignments in Pennsylvania while my license is pending?
Yes, if you hold a valid temporary practice permit or an active compact privilege. A pending application doesn't let you start nursing care. Pennsylvania allows eligible out-of-state licensees to request a temporary permit with their initial license application.
Did my Pennsylvania single-state RN license automatically become multistate?
Pennsylvania's compact guidance says an existing single-state license remains single-state unless you apply and qualify for a multistate license. An active Pennsylvania single-state license still permits RN practice within Pennsylvania; it doesn't provide privileges in other compact states.
Does Pennsylvania limit mandatory overtime for travel nurses?
Act 102 protects covered hourly direct-care nurses, including agency staff. Exceptions include permitted on-call work, unforeseeable emergencies and completing a procedure when leaving could harm the patient. Emergency overtime is a last resort after reasonable staffing efforts. Chronic understaffing isn't an emergency, and on-call arrangements can't evade the law. Private and group-practice offices are excluded, and nurses may voluntarily accept overtime.
Is time off required after working more than 12 consecutive hours?
Covered employees are entitled to at least ten consecutive hours off immediately after overtime that takes the workday beyond 12 consecutive hours. Pennsylvania's Act 102 guidance applies this whether the overtime was required under an exception or volunteered. You may voluntarily waive that off-duty period.
