Roving medical professional
A traveling nurse is a registered nurse who takes short-term assignments at hospitals or healthcare facilities away from home, typically lasting 8 to 26 weeks.
These nurses fill temporary staffing shortages, often moving between cities or states: She worked as a traveling nurse in three different states last year.
