A traveling nurse typically works 13 week assignments across the country in areas where there is a nursing shortage. There is a nationwide nursing shortage that is expected to grow to 800,000 within ten years. For nurses this means that their services are growing in demand.

The travel nurses are used as one method by hospitals to combat this shortage.
