I\u2019m finally home after a 14-hour shift and I\u2019m ready to just hit the couch and relax when I see the blinking light in my peripheral. As I listen to my voicemail messages, I can already tell from the first few seconds what it\u2019s going to be about. It\u2019s my travel agency, asking me to send in a current copy of my flu vaccine and ACLS. I feel like they ask for these things all the time\u2026don\u2019t they already have it in my file? Wait a minute-as I grab for my wallet, my heart suddenly sinks-my ACLS does<\/em> expire and in a few days! How did that happen?! I thought I took care of that recently. The truth is we all live hurried lives and sometimes, life gets the best of us and our expiring credentials and medical documents are no exception.<\/p>\n

With the ever-growing amount of paperwork required for a travel assignment and with shorter timeframes to complete your file, it\u2019s imperative that you keep all your credentials and medical documents<\/a> not only current, but in a safe, handy place so that you can quickly get to it at a moments\u2019 notice, or at least until your recruiter calls you with the job you\u2019ve been waiting for at that prestigious teaching facility! So, what\u2019s the secret to managing all the items in your Compliance file? It can be done, believe it or not, and once you start, you\u2019ll wonder why you didn\u2019t do it this way to begin with.<\/p>\n
